The Dallas Cowboys entered Day 3 of the NFL Draft needing to fill just a few holes in order to continue what was already an excellent first two days. They did so, garnering more talent and then augmented it with what is shaping up to be a hopefully impressive haul of undrafted free agents.
It’s crazy for some to think, but not everyone was glued to their computers and televisions over the weekend, so a recap of the flurry of action is in order, to make sure none of the transactions were mixed. A review of the non-pick related items will be up later today, but for now, walk back through the 2020 NFL Draft weekend.
