The Cowboys' draft history and current needs say there's only one position to target with their first 2019 pick

With the Cowboys slated to pick at No. 58, projections are likely to be all over the map. But there's one tried and true formula for predicting what Dallas will do, and it just happens to make the most sense for this team.

I'll put it this way.

After my first year on the Cowboys beat in 1987, the Cowboys drafted a defensive lineman (Danny Noonan) in the first round. This came after having drafted Kevin Brooks in the first round in '85 and Jim Jeffcoat in the first round in '83. The Cowboys were searching then, and if you look at the history, the search for pass rushers goes back to the very beginning.
