[DrRage]

The Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to play the NFL’s 12th-toughest slate of opponents in 2024. And it looks as if some of the newest players in the league will provide some of their biggest challenges. The Cowboys’ 14 regular-season opponents combined to take 12 first-round picks in this year’s draft, including three of the top eight players selected.Several of those rookies will be quite familiar to Dallas, as they’re guys the Cowboys themselves were seriously considering for their own first-round pick. But scouting them as college prospects and facing them as professional offensive linemen, cornerbacks, wide receivers, and quarterbacks are two very different things.Here’s a rundown of which 2024 first-rounders the Cowboys will line up against during 15 games of their upcoming season, with only their slated matchups against Houston and Cleveland providing breaks, as neither of those teams made a selection until the second round.
