FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys continued to stack their defense with another physical addition in the middle rounds of the NFL Draft.
With the 137th overall pick, Dallas selected defensive lineman LT Overton out of Alabama Crimson Tide football, adding more size, strength, and intensity to a unit that’s clearly becoming a focal point of this draft class.
Overton brings a rugged, SEC-tested presence to the Cowboys’ front. Known for his relentless motor and physical style of play, he thrives in the trenches — shedding blocks, collapsing pockets, and disrupting plays before they can develop. His toughness fits exactly what Dallas has prioritized throughout the draft: speed on the edges and power up front.
This pick continues a noticeable trend for the Cowboys, who have leaned heavily into defensive reinforcements. From early-round impact players to mid-round depth, the organization is building a unit designed to be faster, deeper, and more aggressive heading into the upcoming season.
For a defense looking to take the next step, Overton represents more than just depth — he’s another piece in a rapidly forming identity. One built on pressure, physicality, and a refusal to back down.
