3 draft picks Cowboys got right and 2 moves they will regret

Cowboys draft move they will regret: Marshawn Kneeland over Trey Benson and Malachi Corley

It's going to be interesting to see how this decision plays out in hindsight. The Cowboys took a risk in the first round on Tyler Guyton, and that was a worthwhile, calculated risk. Guyton is the guy they pegged as a possible starting left tackle. We're not so sure you should be taking that same kind of risk in the second round with back-to-back picks, but that's pretty much what they did with Marshawn Kneeland in round two.

Kneeland didn't have ideal production at Western Michigan when it comes to the overall pass rush numbers (4.5 sacks last year, 1.5 sacks the year prior) but sacks aren't everything. Still, Kneeland is newer to the position, which could end up being good or bad in the long run. The Cowboys had a chance to get a top-flight skill player with either running back Trey Benson or wide receiver Malachi Corley available at pick No. 56 overall and they passed.

Cowboys draft move they will regret: Taking Marist Liufau over Payton Wilson

It's the third round of the NFL Draft, so you don't want to be too harsh about it, but Cowboys fans will rightfully be watching the career development of Payton Wilson with great interest. Fair or not, he will be getting compared to Marist Liufau, a player the Cowboys prioritized in the third round instead of the ACC Defensive Player of the Year.

Wilson fell in the NFL Draft due to age and medical concerns, but the Pittsburgh Steelers scooped him up at the end of Day 2 and he could end up being one of the biggest steals of the class. The Cowboys might live to regret passing on him for Liufau, who is a tenacious and aggressive player but not nearly the same level of athlete.
