The Dallas Cowboys selected Boise State LB Leighton Vander Esch with the 19th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft Thursday, April 26.

Footballguys View: Vander Esch is a good against both the run and pass, and can add more muscle to his frame as well. He may not walk right into a massive role, but he can be an impact player down the road for a Dallas team which lacks them on defense.
