Cowboys could draft a running back today with one of their three picks. The choice won’t change the expectation Ezekiel Elliott will rejoin Dallas backfield in 2024 to complement and help mentor that rookie. This has been the sense for several weeks. Now increasingly imminent.

New Cowboys LT Tyler Guyton will wear No. 60 in Dallas, the team announced. What the rookie first-round pick wore at Oklahoma.

It is difficult to tell what the Cowboys think of former Texas RB Jonathon Brooks.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said former Texas RB Jonathon Brooks had the best predraft interview of any prospect Jones has spoken to in 30 years. “We got him high, high (on our board). He’s a good player.” Will McClay reminds the room that Brooks is still available in draft.

Cowboys felt void of not having a 2024 fourth-round pick, which they traded for QB Trey Lance last year. EVP Stephen Jones: “It sounds obvious, but the only thing better than getting a four is a three.”

Dallas picked up Lions’ No. 73 overall pick in first-round trade back.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on the war-room deliberation at No. 24 overall: “We had four trades working at the same time.” They didn’t want to trade back too far. Lions gave them a third-rounder.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy on new LT Tyler Guyton: “Gosh, you’ve got to be so excited about his athletic ability. …He’s got a tremendous ceiling.” 6-7 with excellent footwork. Wants to learn. O-line coach Mike Solari built rapport with him. Coaches in Oklahoma raved about him.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on new LT Tyler Guyton: “This is a sexy pick for an offensive lineman because he’s got a lot of upside. I’m excited about that.”

Graham Barton was among players the Cowboys were ready to draft if still available at No. 29 overall, Stephen Jones confirmed. Cluster included, of course, the team’s ultimate selection, new LT Tyler Guyton.

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said team had four players it really liked when moving back five spots. Believed in board. “Certainly, that paid off for us.”

New Cowboys LT Tyler Guyton: 'I couldn't ask for a better team to play for.' Said he is 'really excited' to play on left side after primarily being a RT at Oklahoma. 'I'll jump right in at left tackle and do whatever I can.' On replacing Tyron Smith: 'I'm going to work my ass…
