The Dellas cowboys 2024 7-round NFL mock Draft: Fixing OL is priority

With the NFC East Championship underway this weekend in Washington, the 2024 NFL Draft is not on the Dallas Cowboys’ minds.
The Cowboys will secure a spot in the playoffs and clinch the NFC East title with a win against the Washington Commanders or a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
And Dallas is looking to do well in the playoffs.
However, now that the regular season is over, even more attention has turned to the 2024 NFL Draft.
Next season, the Cowboys will return their core roster of Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons, CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, DeMarcus Lawrence and Trevon Diggs.
But even if that core returns, Stephon Gilmore, Tyron Smith, Tony Pollard, Tyler Biadasz, Jordan Lewis and Jaylon Kearse will be free agents after this season.
That makes this draft critical to ensuring Dallas’ Super Bowl spot remains open for years to come.
Today we’ll be looking at a seven-round mock draft for the Cowboys to fill out their projected NFC East Champs roster over the next few years.
Cowboys 7 Round Mock Draft Round 1, No.
30 Overall Tyler Guyton, Oklahoma One of the pressing issues for the Cowboys is the overall success of their offensive line.
With Smith and Biadasz becoming free agents, the Cowboys could look to replace two starters on the offensive line who have struggled to finish the season.
Starting RT Terrence Steele had a disappointing season in a year without a significant contract extension.
Both tackle positions are in interesting spots, with offensive tackle being one of the Cowboys’ most needed positions.
Fortunately for them, this year’s draft class is deep.
University of Oklahoma OT Tyler Guyton has only played one year at the University of Oklahoma, but his elite traits (6’3″, 300 pounds) make him one of the most valuable positions at the University of Oklahoma in this class.
One of the best tackle prospects in the league.
Guyton, a former tight end at Kansas, plays with a loose athleticism that is very useful for a Dallas team that has struggled in pass protection for most of the year.
It’s necessary.
With Smith on the verge of retirement and Steele lacking the starting power at right tackle, the former Sooner could be a great replacement for either spot.
Round 2, No.
62 Overall Malachi Coley, WR, Western Michigan Wide receiver isn’t necessarily a big concern, but the addition of an additional playmaker could take the Cowboys’ offense to a new level .
Brandin Cooks is expected to return in 2024, but Dallas will likely replace Michael Gallup and not get the results the team was hoping for from second-year WR Jalen Tolbert.
It has not been done.
Additionally, the Cowboys are not a yards-after-catch team, so Malachi Coley could be a big help here.
His one of the Cowboys’ biggest kryptonites in recent years is the San Francisco 49ers.
The 49ers are dominant in yards after the catch, and Deebo Samuel has been a thorn in Dallas’ side for a while.
The Cowboys should think twice about adding a player who looks eerily similar to Samuel as they try to chase San Francisco as the NFC’s best team.
Round 3, 93rd overall Peyton Wilson, LB, NC State Dallas’ linebacker position has been a hot topic all season.
With Leighton Vander Esch missing most of the season with a neck injury and Demarvion Overshawn suffering a torn ACL before the season, the duo of Damone Clark and Mark Keith Bell have missed the Jets so far this season.
I went on a coaster.
Adding another starting-caliber linebacker should be high on defensive coordinator Dan Quinn’s priority list, as Overshawn is expected to compete for a starting spot in 2024.
Peyton Wilson is so much more than that.
The only problem is his medical care.
He tore his anterior cruciate ligament twice and was injured once
