It just doesn’t make much sense.
We are drafting a backup like we have a loaded roster.
They also used up more than 20% of their visits in Safeties and just let them all go off the board when they could have grabbed one.
It makes perfect sense if you understand finance and contracts. La'el Collins has been a good player, but he's not worth a big long-term deal next year when his contract expires. With the Cowboys already heavily invested in Smith, Frederick and Martin, they need a replacement for Collins at Right Tackle. The logical solution is to move Connor Williams, who played Left Tackle in College, over to Right Tackle, and insert Connor McGovern at Left Guard. Alternatively, In the meantime, work McGovern at both Guard and Center, just in case Frederick doesn't come back strong. Finally, with how well Joe Looney played last season, the Cowboys might be able to garner trade interest in training camp for Looney, if both Frederick and McGovern are completely healthy.
