LT Overton, the last pick of the Cowboys in the fourth round, NO. 137, is a versatile defensive lineman. Did some good work at the Senior Bowl.
— Calvin Watkins (@calvinwatkins) April 25, 2026
RE: Overton and the 4i spot, remember that Parker's defenses don't use a ton of 4i compared to the rest of the NFL.
DAL actually used 4i's more last year than PHI did by ALOT ⬇️

📰 LT Overton is heading to the #Cowboys as their third fourth-round pick of the 2026 #NFLDraft — but plan on versatility from him in Dallas.
He's a DT they view as one they can pop outside at times.
