Instead of the Alabama linebacker, who went the very next pick to the
Baltimore Ravens, the
Cowboys took Zack Martin, offensive tackle from Notre Dame.
“I’m pretty sure the guys in the front office think of him highly to come in and do some great things,” Wilcox reacted.
Wilcox joined teammates DeVonte Holloman, Ben Bass, Tyrone Crawford, Kyle Wilber, Jamar Newsome, and Dwayne Harris for a draft party fundraiser at Alley Cats in Arlington to raise money for Strikes for Kids, a nonprofit organization that partners pro players with benefiting local youth organizations.
Bass and Crawford, who play on a defensive line coming off arguably its worst season, were surprised the front office didn’t address their position with their first round selection. However, Crawford gave the front office a vote of confidence.
