The Dallas Cowboys had four picks on the final day of the 2024 NFL Draft:<br/><br/>Round 5 : No. 173 <br/><br/>Round 6 : No. 216<br/><br/>Round 7 : No. 233<br/><br/>Round 7 : No. 244 <br/><br/>Round five : Pick 173 – The Cowboys selected CB Caelen Carson out of Wake Forest. In 2023 Carson played in 11 games and finished with 42 tackles, 29 of them being solo tackles. He led the team with eight pass breakups. <br/><br/>We got to speak to Carson after the pick and he was asked what the Cowboys are getting, “Gritty player. Somebody that is gonna do whatever for the team, play special teams, play nickel, play outside, so you got versatility. And just a competitive dude. I’m competitive by nature. My personality might be quiet but on the field it’s a whole different personality.” Carson told the media.<br/><br/>When asked about playing alongside Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland, Carson stated, “Definitely. I’m ready to learn from those guys. Trevon Diggs, another Maryland guy, I’m from Maryland too so we have that connection right there. I’m just excited to really learn. They’ve got a lot of interceptions together. I’m excited to see how they do that type of stuff, learn from their game and just compete with them.”<br/><br/>Round six : Pick 216 – The Dallas Cowboys selected former SE Missouri State WR Ryan Flournoy. Out ofall the wide receivers, Flournoy produced the fastest GPS time during position drills at the 2024 combine. The WR who did so in 2023? Puka Nacua.<br/><br/>In 2022 Flournoy earned First-Team All-Ohio Valley Conference honors in his first year at Southeast Missouri. He started 11 games at wide receiver and led the team in receiving yards (984), receiving touchdowns (7) and receiving yards per game (89.5). <br/><br/>Round seven : Pick 233 – The Dallas Cowboys selected Nathan Thomas, OT, out of Louisiana.

He was also graded 80 percent or better in 11 of the 13 games. <br/><br/>Round seven : Pick 244 – The Dallas Cowboys selected Justin Rodgers the DT out of Auburn. Rogers is a big nose tackle prospect with the size and strength to occupy blockers and help clog up the middle. He has strong hands and can discard blocks quickly. He flashes the ability to push the pocket rushing the passer. He has 17 tackles and 1 sack in 2023, and made seven starts as a senior. <br/><br/>We spoke with GM and owner Jerry Jones after the draft along with head coach Mike McCarthy they told us that these were players that they needed and they are all great fits.
