The Dallas Cowboys enter the 2024 NFL Draft with a clear focus on bolstering their offensive line. Having lost eight-time Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith and Pro Bowl center Zack Martin in free agency, the Cowboys have identified offensive line as a top priority. According to Cowboys COO and executive VP Stephen Jones, the team’s attrition has hit the offensive line the hardest. With potentially nine or ten offensive linemen expected to come off the board in the first round of the draft, the Cowboys could select a player at the 24th overall pick. Incumbent left guard Connor McGovern, who played left tackle in college at Tulsa, earned his first Pro Bowl nod in 2023. The Cowboys will need to evaluate McGovern’s suitability as a left tackle compared to the quality of offensive tackles available in the draft. While the Cowboys have only traded down in the first round twice since 2010, they could consider trading down to acquire additional picks or stay at the 24th pick to secure a top talent. Here are five players who could be on Dallas’ radar to improve their offensive line: 1. Jackson Powers-Johnson (Center/Guard) 2. Tyler Guyton (Offensive Tackle) 3. Amarius Mims (Left Tackle) 4. Graham Barton (Guard/Center) 5. JC Latham (Right Tackle/Guard)
