The Dallas Cowboys select Chris Covington with the 193rd pick in the 2018 NFL draft

With the 193rd pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys selected Chris Covington, linebacker from Indiana.

Covington is a better athlete than skilled linebacker at this point in his development, but he has intriguing length, speed and athleticism that could be moldable on the next level. He still needs to get stronger and improve his technique, but he could become a special teams factor on coverage teams if he makes the squad. His ability to play in the league may rest upon whether or not he can improve his instincts and feel for blocking schemes.
