[DrRage]

The expected early run on quarterbacks happened. The expected flurry of trades in the first two dozen picks didn’t. Throw in a somewhat baffling curveball of a pick by the Falcons, and the 2024 draft board fell in such a way that most of the prospects that had been commonly linked to the Cowboys- along with a whole bunch of others- were shockingly waiting for them when they came on the clock with the 24th selection Thursday night.But that left a lot of attractive options for other clubs, too, players that weren’t expected to last that long. One of them pounced, and the Cowboys opted to slide back to 29th instead, to the spot originally occupied by the Detroit Lions.In addition to adding the 73rd overall pick to this year’s haul (giving them an extra third-rounder), the Cowboys still got their man in Oklahoma Sooners offensive tackle Tyler Guyton, who had been frequently mocked to Dallas from the very beginning of the offseason.Here’s what a collection of outlets had to say about Guyton coming into the draft.
