Cowboys draft new blood

The Dallas Cowboys picked some new players this weekend, but it remains unclear whether they'll keep some of the stars they already have.

Why it matters: Cowboys fans have been waiting almost 30 years for the team to win another Super Bowl.

State of play: This is the last year of quarterback Dak Prescott's contract, and there's a chance the team won't extend it before the season starts.

• Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb — who led the NFL in catches — also hasn't had his contract extended and hasn't shown up yet to offseason workouts.

The latest: The Cowboys drafted eight players after starting the weekend with seven picks.

• They exchanged their 24th pick in the first round with the Detroit Lions for their 29th pick and an extra third-round pick.

Who's who: The University of Oklahoma's Tyler Guyton was picked 29th in the first round. The former TCU player will play left tackle.

• Marshawn Kneeland — defensive end from Western Michigan — was picked in the second round.
• Cooper Beebe — guard from Kansas State — was picked in the third.

• Marist Liufau — linebacker from Notre Dame — was also picked in the third.
• Caelen Carson — cornerback from Wake Forest — was picked in the fifth.
• Ryan Flournoy — wide receiver from Southeast Missouri State — was picked in the sixth.
• Nathan Thomas — offensive lineman from Louisiana-Lafayette — was picked in the seventh.
• Justin Rogers — defensive tackle from Auburn — was also picked in the seventh.

The bottom line: The Super Bowl is always in sight.

• Until it's not.
