Setting the year one expectations for Cowboys second-round draft pick Marshawn Kneeland

The draft is just a little over a week old, but it’s hard to contain the excitement for the new players the Dallas Cowboys have added to their roster. The team’s first three picks are players many expect will make an immediate impact. We previously dove into what Tyler Guyton’s first year might look like. Today, we’ll look closer at the team’s second-round draft pick, defensive end Marshawn Kneeland.

Kneeland is an interesting player. Spending five years at Western Michigan he’s subjected to the usual skepticism that accompanies smaller school prospects. Adding more uncertainty is his lack of eye-popping statistics against this lower-level competition.
