The Dallas Cowboys have the No. 19 overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft. Who should the Cowboys be evaluating as the Scouting Combine nears?

The Dallas Cowboys are one of the most polarizing franchises in all of professional sports. With a rabid fan base and an owner who’s committed to greatness—but has questionable methods of achieving it—Dallas is at the heart of a vast majority of NFL discussions.

The discussions from which the Cowboys are consistently omitted, however, are those of a championship contending nature—a truth that could change as soon as 2018.

For all that critics have to say about the divisive franchise in Dallas, the Cowboys have done a remarkable job with the NFL Draft. Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott are franchise players at running back and quarterback, and the offensive line ranks amongst the best in the NFL.

Furthermore, the likes of Sean Lee and DeMarcus Lawrence have become two of the premier defensive players in the game today.

As the 2018 NFL Draft nears, however, the Cowboys are facing more pressure than never to ace the proceedings. With limited cap space and a roster that produced a 9-7 record in 2017, Dallas needs to acquire the caliber of players who can help it make the leap.

The question is: Who should the Dallas Cowboys select at the 2018 NFL Draft? That all starts with the first round, where Dallas has some compelling options.
