"Debating the Best Draft Strategy for the Dallas Cowboys"

The Dallas Cowboys drafting a tight end in the first round of the NFL Draft would be a mistake, as they already have two good tight ends on the roster and the position is not a pressing need. While there is a small wave of support for the Cowboys taking a tight end in the first round, it is unlikely to happen. Instead, the team is expected to focus on addressing greater needs, such as defensive tackle or offensive lineman.

"2023 NFL Draft: Detroit Lions' Strategy for Building a Strong Offense"

The Detroit Lions are expected to add another offensive lineman in the upcoming NFL draft, despite having six starting-caliber players under contract. With needs emerging at guard, the Lions could target O'Cyrus Torrence, the best pure guard in this year's draft, with the 18th overall pick. If they go in a different direction on Day 1, Day 2 tends to be a great spot to find premium guards, and TCU's Steve Avila is an intriguing option. Andrew Vorhees, who tore his ACL at the combine in March, could be a value pick on Day 3.
