Mosley: Cowboys like Tyson Jackson

Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley

I'm hearing that the Dallas Cowboys have a lot of interest in LSU defensive end Tyson Jackson (6-4, 295) heading into the draft. Jackson's not a great pass-rusher, but he would have a chance to replace Chris Canty in the Cowboys' 3-4 scheme.

It looks like the Cowboys will allow Canty to explore free agency. If Jackson somehow slips to No. 51 (and I think there's a chance), the Cowboys would love to take him.

Much more to come on this front.
