An important attribute shared by the NFL’s best drafting teams is the ability to identify and maximize the value of each pick. For instance, last year the Cowboys felt like offensive line and receiver depth stretched a little further than linebacker. They picked up the linebacker first and then found tremendous value in their day two selections. Identifying a “sweet spot” at a position is a key component to draft success and something the Cowboys are most definitely aware of.
Heading up to the draft, we’re going to identify the positions of interest for the Cowboys and when the right time to strike will be.
