The four positions with the most significant losses for the Dallas Cowboys this offseason matched the club's first four picks in the draft.
Tulsa offensive lineman Tyler Smith was the first-round choice with Dallas looking to replace two starters up front. Edge rusher Sam Williams of Mississippi went in the second round after free agent Randy Gregory unexpectedly picked Denver.
Executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones said before the draft the Cowboys didn't have any "musts." But he acknowledged two days in that they were addressing needs. While Dallas ended up with more of a project in Smith compared to a pair of guards who were already gone in Zion Johnson of Boston College and Texas A&M's Kenyon Green, Jerry Jones said the Cowboys had Smith, a tackle at Tulsa, rated higher."Can you see that?" Jerry Jones said on the opening night of the draft as he turned a piece of paper listing the Dallas preferences toward reporters, with son Stephen wishing he hadn't. "I’m dead serious.
Because of the extra year of college eligibility given to players through the pandemic-altered 2020 season, Stephen Jones said he considered the fourth and fifth rounds "the meat of the draft." Smith didn't play as a rookie in Dallas before a solid season two years later that led to a second contract. He was released midseason last year.
