The Dallas Cowboys added to their defensive interior, got linebacker help, and brought in another offensive lineman in the NFL Draft.
Many will call it a reach, but the Cowboys took Michigan tight end, Luke Schoonmaker in the second round. He fills a need and will contribute early in the 12 personnel package that Dallas runs.
It wasn't until the sixth round that they drafted some speed on offense by taking Kansas State running back Deuce Vaughn. As an All-Big 12 performer and Consensus All-American, Vaughn could end up being one of the steals of the draft when it's all said and done.
Before Vaughn starts navigating through running lanes, and Schoonmaker earns his stripes in the trenches, both will be present for a special event. From May 18-21, Vaughn and Schoonmaker will attend the NFL Players Rookie Premiere.
Per the NFLPA website:
“NFLPA Rookie Premiere provides partners with unmatched access to 40 of the NFL’s newest stars at their first major business and marketing event following the NFL Draft. This is one of the most valuable opportunities available to NFLPA partners because it’s the first time to connect directly with professional football’s most promising and marketable young players–all in one place—and build content and relationships that extend into the season and beyond.”
The NFL is all about entertainment, but it's a business at the end of the day. This is a great way for these young players to lay the groundwork for endorsement opportunities and make other business connections.
