After losing left tackle Tyron Smith (New York Jets) and center Tyler Biadasz (Washington Commanders) in free agency, it’s no secret that filling holes on the offensive line is Dallas Cowboys’ biggest need heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, set for April 25-27. And the Cowboys are most likely going to fill one of those needs with the 24th overall pick. While it may be a slight departure from their best player-available philosophy, the good news is the draft is shaping up where the Cowboys could serve two masters — fill a need and draft the best player available — due to the expected run on quarterbacks and receivers by the teams ahead of them. It will be a matter of which player falls to them and at what position, allowing them to play a little option quarterback up front.
