With breakout star Overshown out for a substantial time moving forward, the\u00a0Cowboys\u00a0hit the position hard in free agency and the\u00a0NFL Draft\u00a0for more depth.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas traded for the\u00a0Tennessee Titans&#8217; captain Kenneth Murray Jr. and made an underrated move to swipe Jack Sanborn from the\u00a0Chicago Bears\u00a0as a free agent. In the Draft, Dallas picked up Shemar James who has had a solid start to OTA workouts.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b
