Cowboys Eye Offensive Lineman in 2024 Draft to Bolster Unit

As the 2024 NFL Draft nears, the Dallas Cowboys are targeting an offensive lineman to fill the void left by their recent free agency losses. With nine or ten offensive linemen potentially available in the first round, the Cowboys may select a player at the 24th overall pick. Incumbent left guard Connor McGovern, who played left tackle in college, could potentially move back to left tackle, but the Cowboys’ decision will depend on the quality of offensive tackles available. With only two first-round trades since 2010, the Cowboys could consider trading down to acquire additional picks or stay at the 24th pick to secure a top talent.

Bears’ No. 9 Draft Pick: Receiver, Defensive Line, or Left Tackle

The Chicago Bears are set to make their first-round pick on Thursday night at the NFL Draft in Detroit, and the team has been evaluating players at three positions of need: receiver, defensive line, and left tackle. Although quarterback Anthony Richardson is projected to go first overall, it is unclear whether the Bears will use their No. 9 pick to select a player at one of their targeted positions. General manager Ryan Poles has acknowledged that the decision will be difficult, but he has hinted that the team is considering all options, including the possibility of trading down to acquire more picks. The Bears currently have four draft picks, the lowest number in the NFL this year.
