Near the end of the 2024 college football season, LSU receiver Kyren Lacy was a potential first-round pick in next week’s draft. That all changed in mid-December on a road in Louisiana.

Ollie Gordon will go in the 4th round of the draft

Which player is the one Dallas doesn’t draft in the 4th round?

Last week, I mocked the first three rounds of next week’s NFL Draft, as did Mark Heaney. I stopped after three rounds for two reasons. The first being, for the second-straight year, Dallas doesn’t have a fourth rounder due to a poor trade. The second being that, after three rounds, the reaching begins in earnest. Trying …

Could the Cowboys go bold with this 1st-round pick?

Could the Cowboys draft a star tight end in the 1st round?

The 1997 Cowboys draft saw a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles to select LSU tight end David LaFleur in the first round. That remains the last time Dallas drafted a player at that position on Day 1 of the NFL Draft. LaFleur played just four seasons in the league, and the 2003 selection of Jason Witten …
