The first round of the 2019 NFL Draft gets underway tonight. On ABC primetime this year, the draft is as popular and flashy as it ever has been. Thousands will watch the commissioner read names from a card Thursday night, but the Dallas Cowboys likely won’t be involved whatsoever. And they’re totally ok with that. The …
Dak and Zeke went viral again this week. Once again, together. This time, the Cowboys franchise quarterback Dak Prescott was feeding his running back Ezekiel Elliott at a Dallas Stars playoff game, shoveling popcorn down the All Pro’s mouth. It was yet another fun Twitter moment from the Cowboys’ star backfield duo, as they have enjoyed …
With the NFL Draft quickly approaching, the shortlist of prospects for the Cowboys to target with their first selection grows narrower and narrower. Now, when the Cowboys come on the clock Friday night, fans will have a clear idea about which group of players they’d like to see the Cowboys choose from. Will they look for …
First team All Conference three times. Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year in 2018. NCAA all time leader in sacks. 67.5 tackles for loss over four collegiate seasons. This guy is a first round pick, right? Not so fast. Both in terms of the expression, and when speaking about the player and his ability. These …
It’s finally draft week. After months of speculation and discussion, we will finally find out who the newest members of the Dallas Cowboys will be this weekend. Being it’s draft week, I took another stab at The Draft Network’s mock draft machine to see what some of their options may end up being. In the end, …
All sixteen regular season games count the same. A win in September means exactly the same as a win in December. Just as a touchdown in the first quarter counts for the same number of points as a touchdown in the fourth quarter. While factually accurate, we know these statements aren’t totally true. Championship teams often “hit …
Dak Prescott is the current and future starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Let’s make that clear. Prescott has done more than enough over the first three years of his career to earn this “franchise quarterback” title, and the contract he will eventually receive from the Cowboys’ front office. But that doesn’t mean the Cowboys shouldn’t …
Wednesday night the official 2019 NFL schedule will be released, and we will know the exact times and dates of each of the Cowboys’ upcoming games. We already know the opponents, however, and we know how the NFL typically likes to schedule games week to week. Based on both prior history and future opponents, here are …
As the 2019 NFL Draft nears closer, the projected options for the Cowboys in the second round become more clear. Of course, we don’t know exactly how the draft will fall before pick 58, but we can certainly dream about the realistic (but appealing) opportunities the Cowboys could have when they come on the clock for …
Despite signing former Green Bay Packers wide out Randall Cobb this offseason, there’s no almost doubt the Cowboys will be looking to add another player to their wide receiver room during the 2019 NFL Draft. Spending a premium pick on a receiver who probably won’t make much of an impact his rookie year wouldn’t be too …
With the 2019 NFL Draft just weeks away, it’s time to start really getting serious about considering who the Dallas Cowboys may add to their roster. The positions of need are well documented, as are both the official and unofficial visitors the Cowboys have had at The Star the last couple of months. Using that information, as well …
In search of defensive line talent during the 2019 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys have been linked publicly to TCU Horned Frogs lineman LJ Collier in multiple mock drafts. Collier is a 6’2″ 283 pound college defensive end who may struggle at first to find a true position in the NFL. Despite his flaws, the Cowboys …
Last night was a major one in the NBA, with two legends and future Hall of Famers playing in their last respective home games. Of course, the legend which means the most to Dallas-area sports fans is Dallas Mavericks great Dirk Nowitzki, who gave a teary-eyed farewell to the Dallas faithful on Tuesday night, finally admitting “it’s …
Entering the offseason, most considered wide receiver a major position of need for the Dallas Cowboys. Despite trading a first round pick for Amari Cooper, and using their third round selection in 2018 on Michael Gallup, the Cowboys remained hungry for playmakers on the outside. They went out and signed former Green Bay Packer Randall Cobb, …
We are only a couple of weeks away from the start of the 2019 NFL Draft. It feels like it’s been a long journey to draft day, but for those in the talent evaluation field, it might not feel long enough. Of course the Cowboys likely won’t have their pick of the board until the second …
To say Taco Charlton has had a rough start to his young career would be an understatement. The former first round selection of the Dallas Cowboys, Taco Charlton has four combined sacks over his first two seasons in the NFL. Three of those sacks came in his rookie season, however, leaving many fans hoping that Charlton …
While the Cowboys spent free agency filling some of their roster’s biggest holes before the NFL Draft, they will almost certainly go into draft day needing to find Ezekiel Elliott a backup running back. Considering they only have two picks in the top 100, spending one of them on a running back who will likely only …
Despite finding some excellent bargains in free agency over the last few weeks, the Cowboys biggest failure thus far has been when it comes to spending big money. In particular, spending big money on their own talented defensive end, DeMarcus Lawrence. Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report wrote a piece this week identifying each NFL team’s biggest red flag heading into April, …
The Dallas Cowboys have their eyes on this year’s safety draft class, bringing in a plethora of prospects for official visits the last few weeks. One of the main safeties which has been linked to them, and has been talked about by many (including myself) as a strong fit within the Dallas Cowboys’ secondary is Washington’s …
If they want to “win” the 2019 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys are going to have to find some hidden gems in later rounds. Without a first round pick, finding talented players who can contribute immediately in 2019 will be tough, but it certainly can be done. Of course, the draft is about more than just …
Since being drafted fourth overall in the 2016 NFL Draft, Ezekiel Elliott has carried a heavier load than just about any running back in football. He’s totaled over 1,000 touches in just three seasons, and did so even with a six game suspension in 2017. This workload cannot be sustainable forever, can it? Probably not. And …
