Why going after a wide receiver in the first round might be risky business for the Cowboys

Why going after a wide receiver in the first round might be risky business for the Cowboys

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/ There is definite risk to going wide receiver in the first round. The more we examine the talent layout of the upcoming NFL draft, the more and more it seems that an offensive tackle will be the pick. According to NFL Mock Draft Database, eight offensive tackles are expected to come off the board in the first round, with five of them ranging from picks 18 to 30. NFL Mock Draft Database Could the Cowboys be fortuitous to have the stars line up so nicely for them after losing their star left tackle, Tyron Smith, in free agency?...

2024 Dallas Cowboys pre-draft visit tracker: All reported names plus what you need to know

Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/ We are tracking everything you need to know regarding Dallas Cowboys pre-draft visits. We have reached the point in the offseason where attention has shifted towards the 2024 NFL Draft. The Dallas Cowboys have chosen to not be active in free agency, and to place all of their energy in the draft itself, so needless to say what they do throughout it is of high intrigue. When it comes to the draft one of the most important parts of the process for the Cowboys is what happens prior to it in terms of visits. The Cowboys are meticulous about who...

Jerry Jones believes Dallas Cowboys defense already better against the run

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports The Cowboys must improve against the run in 2024 and Jerry Jones believes they already have. Stopping the run has been a problem for the Dallas Cowboys over what we will refer to as this little “run” that they are on. To be clear, the run in question is the three consecutive playoff seasons. The 2021-2023 seasons were ended by the San Francisco 49ers twice before the Green Bay Packers added their name to the list. There is a Wild Card win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tom Brady’s last-ever game also included. In the first two...

Cowboys are a few moves away from having a viable running back room

Cowboys are a few moves away from having a viable running back room

Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports A strong running game will really help everything on offense. After moving on from former first-round pick Ezekiel Elliott after the 2022 season, the Cowboys turned the keys to the running back room over to Tony Pollard, although he was coming off of a leg injury. He would rush for over 1,000 yards last season, but it was clear that the quickness and explosiveness weren't the same as in year's past. Pollard was a free agent to begin the offseason, and he even considered taking less money to return. Money talks, though, and Pollard is now...

Cowboys decade-long track record of under-investing in team suggests Jones family is not in it to win it

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports The Cowboys have one of the lowest cash spends of all teams in the league over the last decade. The Cowboys have traditionally shied away from spending big in free agency, and this year has proven to be no different. Dallas has repeatedly expressed their preference for signing their own players to contract extensions and have frequently and regularly cited the salary cap as a key reason why they don’t splurge in free agency. Also, it feels like every year, there seem to be players on the roster the Cowboys need to sign/re-sign to...

Tyler Smith’s 2024 position on the Cowboys will likely be determined on April 25th

Photo by Cooper Neill/ For now it’s a mystery but we will soon learn the permanent home for Tyler Smith When the Dallas Cowboys drafted Tyler Smith 24th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, we weren’t sure what position he would ultimately play. In general, the plan seemed to be he would be the eventual replacement for Tyron Smith who was getting up there in age and was struggling to stay on the field. With Tyron still around, the team wanted to slide him inside to left guard. Unfortunately, the Cowboys had to break the glass sooner than expected when Tyron got hurt...

The tale of two centers: What the Cowboys should expect going from Tyler Biadasz to Brock Hoffman

The tale of two centers: What the Cowboys should expect going from Tyler Biadasz to Brock Hoffman

Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports Do you think the next Cowboys center is already on the roster? The Dallas Cowboys let Tyler Biadasz walk in free agency this offseason as the veteran center signed a three-year deal worth $29 million. It’s a nice payday for a fourth-round draft pick who turned into a regular fixture along the Cowboys' offensive line. Biadasz only missed two games over the last three years since becoming the team’s everyday starter. He even earned Pro Bowl honors in 2022. While Biadasz has been a good player, he’s never gotten the praise received...

Jerry Jones: Cowboys’ Tyler Smith is ‘working option’ at LT for 2024 - Todd Brock, Cowboys Wire With the Cowboys having no clear plan at LT, everything remains on the table. Tyler Smith could be on the move again. The Tulsa product, who will turn 23 in early April, has been shuffled between left guard and left tackle ever since being selected in the first round of 2022’s draft.

Ricardo Brazziell / USA TODAY NETWORK Here is our scouting report on running back Jonathon Brooks from Texas In keeping with our series of prospects the Dallas Cowboys could target in next month’s NFL draft, we look at Texas Longhorns running back Jonathon Brooks.

Brooks’ season ended...

Data suggests we shouldn’t expect much from the Cowboys 2023 draft class in year two

Photo by Timothy T Ludwig/ Last year’s draft class was severely underwhelming, and there is some statistical evidence that suggests it’s not likely to get much better. It’s been all quiet on the Texas front as the Dallas Cowboys have been their usual selves when it comes to free agent spending. With a huge net negative between additions and departures, the Cowboys will soon turn to their most valuable roster-building tool to save them, the NFL draft. Normally, this wouldn’t be that much of a worry because the team has proven they can replenish the roster just...

Cowboys aren't far from stabilizing the linebacker position

Cowboys aren't far from stabilizing the linebacker position

Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports What do you think the Cowboys linebacker position will look like in 2024? One of the big question marks for the Dallas Cowboys once the offseason began was what direction they were going to go to bolster their linebacker room. When veteran Leighton Vander Esch was released and forced to retire due to neck issues, it became even more paramount to figure things out at the position. Under Dan Quinn in 2023, the Cowboys experimented with Markquese Bell playing linebacker. He made plays, that's undeniable, but he also got exposed for his lack...

Cowboys secondary has become the top defensive group on the roster, and what that means for Mike Zimmer

Photo by Richard Rodriguez/ The Dallas Cowboys secondary is in good hands in 2024. This offseason for the Dallas Cowboys has been defined much more by their departures in free agency compared to additions that move the needle for Mike McCarthy’s team to be taken seriously as championship contenders. The NFL draft next month stands as the next real opportunity for the Cowboys to add talent after unsurprisingly passing on the early waves of free agency. They will have their work cut out for them with needs for a new starting left tackle and center being their most...

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports The Cowboys could look for LB depth in the late rounds of the draft. Stopping the run is a top focus area for the Dallas Cowboys defense entering 2024 and the linebacker room will play a major role in ensuring that there is improvement. In anticipation of Leighton Vander Esch officially retiring from the NFL, the Cowboys added their only outside free agent signing, LB Eric Kendricks. The experienced veteran baton has now been passed from Vander Esch to Kendricks to help mentor the other young LBs, including Damone Clark and DeMarvion...
