The Dallas Cowboys could go a number of different routes in the 2023 NFL Draft. Sitting at No. 26 overall, there is no telling how the first-round will play out and which prospects will still be on the board.
Dallas has used the offseason to fill holes and upgrade different areas of the roster, such as wide receiver and defensive back. However, those two positions remain possibilities early. in the draft. Offensive line is another position that could be addressed with a premium pick.
TCU offensive guard Steve Avila is generating first-round hype with just a few weeks remaining until draft weekend. And the Dallas Cowboys are among the teams doing their due diligence
Avila is visiting with the Dallas Cowboys this week. He made it into Frisco on Tuesday as the Cowboys do their homework on the local draft prospect. Avila played a significant role in the Horned Frogs reaching the national championship.
The Cowboys saw guard Connor McGovern sign with the Buffalo Bills this offseason. Furthermore, there could be other movement up front with Tyron Smith coming back, Tyler Smith playing multiple positions, and Terence Steele returning from injury.
Avila makes a lot of sense for multiple reasons. For one, he plays a valuable position that the Cowboys always covet. Secondly, he's a native of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and played his college ball in the area. Therefore, the Cowboys are very familiar with his game.
Dallas has hit on several offensive linemen in the first-round over the years. Adding a talent like Avila in this year's draft would help solidify the unit up front to protect Dak Prescott and open up lanes for Tony Pollard.
The Cowboys will meet with several prospects leading up to the draft. However, it is difficult to ignore the steam that Steve Avila is generating with just weeks before the selection is made.
