Cowboys take Gophers linebacker Damien Wilson in fourth round of NFL draft

Few figured University of Minnesota linebacker Damien Wilson would be drafted before his cousin, Gophers running back David Cobb.

But that's what happened Saturday.

Wilson was taken in the fourth round by the Dallas Cowboys with the No. 127 pick overall. Cobb had yet to be drafted by the No. 129 pick in the fourth.
