The Cowboys are hosting projected first-rounder Armand Membou on a top-30 visit, per ESPN’s Todd Archer. 
The Missouri product is widely considered to be one of the draft’s top-two offensive tackles along with LSU’s Will Campbell. Membou has skyrocketed up draft boards since the Combine, where he ranked among the top four offensive linemen in the 40-yard dash, broad jump, vertical jump, and bench press.
That performance may push him into the top 10 on draft night and out of the range of the Cowboys, who hold the 12th overall pick. Membou, currently the 12th-ranked prospect on Daniel Jeremiah’s big board, has the size and athleticism to start at offensive tackle in the NFL, though it’s unclear if he would have that opportunity in Dallas anytime soon.
The Cowboys signed right tackle Terence Steele to a long-term extension in 2023 and invested a first-round pick in left tackle Tyler Guyton last year, but they may look at Membou as a high-upside guard after the retirement of Zack Martin. The latter enjoyed a stellar career in Dallas, collecting nine total first- or second-team All-Pro nods. Replacing his level of play will be a challenge, and slotting in Membou along the interior could achieve that goal.
The junior took on first-team duties midway through his debut Tigers campaign and continued in that capacity the rest of the way, earning second-team All-SEC honors last season. With 29 starts to his name, Membou could step into a role right away in the NFL, although the fact he played exclusively at right tackle in college means a guard opportunity at the pro level would require a transition phase. Still, Dallas would have a potential successor for Steele (whose contract does not include guaranteed salaries beyond 2025) in place with a Membou selection.

‘In Jerry, Cowboys fans (don’t!) trust’.
Due diligence. I doubt they’re drafting OL in the first unless it goes sideways on them.
