“With the 10th Pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Rashawn Slater, Tackle, Northwestern.”
Let’s break this down in 3 parts: the Team, the Pick, and the Player.
The Team
The Dallas Cowboys had a (dare I say) elite offensive line from about 2014-2016 (or 2017, depending on who you read), following the drafting of LT Tyron Smith in 2011, C Travis Frederick in 2013, and RG Zack Martin in 2014. That unit was coached by Bill Callahan from 2012-2014, setting the foundation (and a run of surprisingly great health) for the period in which the Dallas offensive line would earn the “Best O-Line in the NFL” moniker.
