Starting at guard in each of his first two seasons, Green earned second-team AP All-American honors in 2020 on one of college football's best offensive lines. Green will kick outside to left tackle as a junior and has the athleticism to remain there at the next level.
There was a thought that the Dallas Cowboys could bolster their offensive line early in the 2021 NFL draft, particularly if a player like Rashawn Slater was available when they were first on the clock. Instead Dallas added to their defensive front, drafting Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons.
Could they add another Penn State product early in next year's draft, and bolster their offensive line at the same time? Rasheed Walker could have tested the 2021 draft waters, but decided to return to campus for another season. He has ideal size and solid technique to play tackle in the NFL, and could be the heir apparent to Tyron Smith on the left side of the Cowboys offensive line.
Green made massive strides from his freshman year when he allowed 28 pressures at right guard. He allowed only 10 at left guard as a sophomore. He'll kick out to tackle this upcoming season, and he has the athleticism to stay there in the NFL.
There was some talk of the Cowboys wanting to move up the board for Kyle Pitts heading into this year's draft, but it would have taken a massive trade package to get it done. Tight end remains the missing piece on offense for Dallas, and after it dedicated its first six picks to defense last week, it will now be able to look back to offense next year. Wydermyer has a great 6-foot-5, 255-pound frame and is productive. The Texas native has six TDs in each of his two seasons with the Aggies and has averaged 12.2 yards per catch over his career.
Hutchinson suffered season-ending ankle surgery in 2020, but he was disruptive as a sophomore in 2019. He produced 4.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, six pass deflections and two forced fumbles.
A college right tackle who will likely move inside to guard in the NFL, Kinnard is an ass-kicker in the run game and surprised NFL scouts when he decided to pass up a spot in the top 100 to return to school. With improved consistency in pass protection, he might be able to break into the first round.
The Cowboys really tried their best to fix the defense with the 2021 draft class. However, literally every position group needed work, and safety was the one that got skipped over in 2021. Hamilton is a fall, long safety who plays like a menace downhill, both vs the run and when driving on routes. It's possible the Cowboys may want more of a true post safety, which Hamilton is not, but his range and man coverage skills versus tight ends and slot receivers is valuable.
