...It all began in 2011. With the ninth overall pick in the draft, Dallas selected Tyron Smith. Six Pro Bowls and two All-Pro selections later, the Cowboys landed their possible Hall of Fame left tackle.

2012 – Tyrone Crawford, DL – 81st overall in round three.
2013 – Travis Frederick, OL – 31st overall in round one.

Chaz Green, OL – 91st overall in round three.
2016 – Maliek Collins, DL – 67th overall in round three.
2017 – Taco Charlton, DL – 28th overall in round one.
2018 – Connor Williams, OL – 50th overall in round two.

Connor McGovern, OL – 90th overall in round three.
