Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones (above) and his crew will be in the Cowboys' draft "war room" tonight, likely early, for the 2024 NFL Draft. The draft technically takes place from Detroit, Michigan, but will be happening from sites all across the nation, and live on national television. We'll be live on thefootballbeat.com. Here's our mock draft, if you want to see how ETBlitz.com editor / publisher Mitch Lucas thinks things could go down. He had 11 of the 32 first-round picks correct last year.

Kilgore's Braydon Nelson (above) in thought before competing in the shot put at the UIL Region III Meet at Bullard. Nelson won his third Whataburger / ETBlitz.com Boys Player of the Week, a record, as he's setting all kinds of records this year. Nelson is headed to the state track meet in both the shot and the discus. He's joined this week by Tatum golfer Hannah Marcott (below, with her teammates). Hannah was the low scorer for the Eagles, who qualified for the Class 3A state golf tournament at ShadowGlen Golf Club on May 6-7 in Manor.
