Cowboys NFL Draft 2026: Dallas selects LT Overton, DL, Alabama at pick 137
"LT Overton is a slow-twitch end with impressive power and a consistently rugged demeanor. He has long arms and plays with the anchor/leverage that helps him secure his gap."
"Overton rarely gains early positional advantages and isn't going to be a gap-shooter. He lacks range in pursuit and won't threaten tackles to the corner with his get-off as an edge rusher."
"The Micah Parsons trade left a huge hole at pass rusher, the Cowboys need an injection of talent. Trevon Diggs' departure and DaRon Bland's injury issues means the team needs help."
The Dallas Cowboys selected LT Overton, a defensive lineman from Alabama, with the 137th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Overton is characterized by impressive power and a rugged demeanor, though he lacks early positional advantages and range in pursuit. His play strength and leverage are notable, but he may benefit from adding mass and transitioning to a 3-technique role. The Cowboys also need to address gaps in their roster, particularly at pass rusher, linebacker, cornerback, safety, and offensive tackle.
