"Despite Shelton being the Cowboys biggest reach according to the consensus board, the Cowboys seemed to be very high on the former Penn State offensive lineman and considered drafting him in the third round with the 92nd overall pick."
"Shelton is still a bit raw from a technical and strength aspect, but his athleticism and length gives the Cowboys a player that has legit developmental starting potential."
"Based on how high the Cowboys seem to be on Shelton, it should not shock anyone if he is the team's number one option at swing tackle and the first off the bench to replace Guyton or Steele if their play doesn't improve in 2026."
"In the Cowboys defensive heavy draft, it's easy to forget about Shelton and his possible impact on the Cowboys offensive line rotation in 2026, but it would be wise to keep his name near the top of the list of potential starters as we approach training camp."
The Dallas Cowboys had a successful draft, adding players who will contribute significantly in 2026. Drew Shelton, a fourth-round offensive tackle, is a notable pick despite being a reach. The Cowboys considered him in the third round, indicating their confidence in his potential. Shelton's athleticism and length provide a foundation for development, especially as the team seeks a future starter at tackle. His experience at both left and right tackle positions makes him a key player to watch as training camp approaches.
