Cowboys news: The best in-state draft prospects for Dallas

While the Cowboys will cast a wide net in their research of prospects for this year’s draft, they got some great choices deep in the heart of Texas.

Texas DT, Byron Murphy II

You can hear the groans already from Cowboys fans who hate the idea of drafting a defensive tackle in the first round in back-to-back drafts. However, if Dallas goes that route by picking former Longhorn, Byron Murphy II, it could be a worthwhile pick for the long-term success of the defense. Murphy is one of the top two defensive tackles in this draft class, and he is a top-30 visit for the Cowboys.
