Asked to describe his play, Marshawn Kneeland said, 'Violent. Physical. High motor. High effort. Always find a way to get to the ball.' He said he was surprised to get the call from the Cowboys. Had an informal visit at the combine and said he 'might've,' had a Zoom call.

With their second round pick, the Cowboys have taken Western Michigan edge Marshawn Kneeland. He had 13 sacks, 28 tackles for loss.

Steelers take West Virginia center Zach Frazier. Another possibility for the Cowboys gone but they felt there numerous centers available that could starter as a rookie if needed. But, they also profess some faith in Brock Hoffman.

Texas RB Jonathon Brooks off the Carolina. Now everybody will blame Jerry Jones for talking too highly of him Thursday. Cowboys thought extremely high of him and were OK with the recovery from the ACL. But I'm not so sure Jerry wasn't going a little overboard on purpose.

Packers take A&M LB Edgerrin Cooper. Now he was a guy the Cowboys had interest in taking in the second round.

Jackson Powers-Johnson goes to the Raiders. Not sure he would've been an option to Dallas in the second round.

With three picks Friday, paired with Tyler Guyton, Jerry Jones is excited about the Cowboys' prospects. “The middle of this draft really looks good and has all the way through ... I think we’re going to get him some teammates that he can go to the house with.'

Tyler Guyton’s day started with his first flight on a private jet, getting his first jersey, seeing The Star and knowing his locker is near Zack Martin, Terence Steele and Tyler Smith.

The best parts of what the Cowboys did Thursday:

* Keep Tyler Smith at left guard
* Add a third round pick to fill holes
* Draft Tyler Guyton. Their track record w/ first round OL gives them the benefit of the doubt.

Jerry Jones on Texas RB Jonathon Brooks: “In my 30 years I thought it was the best interview that I ever interviewed with a player. He’s outstanding. And he’s a great football player. We got him high, high, high. And he’s a good player.” Someone to think about in Day 2.

When the Cowboys made the move from No. 24 to No. 29, they eyed four players: Tyler Guyton, Darius Robinson, Jordan Morgan and Graham Barton. They had other opportunities to trade down from No. 29 but did not want to get out of the first round.
