The Dallas Cowboys own seven picks in the 2024 NFL draft, including No. 24 overall in Round 1. The Cowboys probably need to address their offensive line after losing left tackle Tyron Smith and center Tyler Biadasz in free agency.
The Cowboys finished 12-5 last season before losing in the wild-card round to the Green Bay Packers. They have had a relatively quiet offseason, acquiring six players in free agency including linebacker Eric Kendricks.
The 2024 NFL draft will take place at Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit from April 25 through April 27. Round 1 will begin April 25 at 8 p.m. ET, while Rounds 2 and 3 are on April 26 starting at 7 p.m. ET. Rounds 4 through 7 begin at noon ET on April 27. The draft will be broadcast on ESPN, ABC, ESPN+ and the ESPN App. There are 257 total picks in the draft.
Here's the full list of the Cowboys' draft picks by round, along with a look at their top roster needs headed into the 2024 season.

Top three needs: OL, RB, LB. The Cowboys lost left tackle Tyron Smith and center Tyler Biadasz in free agency and could use ready-made starters at either position. Same goes at running back with Tony Pollard leaving for Tennessee, meaning the Cowboys' leading returning rusher is Rico Dowdle, who had 361 yards in 2023. Linebacker was the final need listed over defensive tackle, even though the Cowboys added Eric Kendricks in free agency. DeMarvion Overshown is coming off a torn ACL, and while there are positive reports of his recovery, he has yet to play a down in an NFL game. The Cowboys can look to remaining free agency to find a defensive tackle rather than spending a premium pick on that spot for a second straight year. -- Todd Archer
