The Dallas Cowboys’ decision in the second round to draft another edge player in Donavan Ezeiruaku overshadowed an immediate challenge for defensive tackle Mazi Smith. While many heralded the pick as a steal for Dallas, the …
With the first round selection of guard Tyler Booker in last week’s draft, along with Ajani Cornelius in the sixth round, the Dallas Cowboys have 15 players on the offensive line on the roster. Unless the game plan is to start eight of them along with Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and a running back, that number …
The Dallas Cowboys currently have just two reliable receivers for Dak Prescott to throw the ball to this fall. After receiver CeeDee Lamb and tight end Jake Ferguson on the depth chart, there are a lot of question marks. The Cowboys chose to ignore filling the WR2 slot on the depth chart last week. Despite Jerry …
After the first-round selection of offensive lineman Tyler Booker in last week’s draft, conventional wisdom had the Dallas Cowboys focusing on the run game in 2025. That might have been true had Dallas bothered to follow that pick up with a three-down running back in either of the next two rounds. Instead, the Cowboys selected another …
If there was one position room, on the offensive side of the ball at least, that the Dallas Cowboys improved in the draft, it was the quarterback room. And they didn’t even spend a draft pick, or sign a free agent post-draft, to do it. And here you guys keep saying I never write anything positive …
Now that the 2025 NFL Draft has concluded, and the undrafted rookies are signing as free agents, it’s time to take stock of the NFC East. While the weekly schedules won’t be released by the NFL until May 14th, we do know the home and away opponents for all four teams. This year will be a …
After fumbling, stumbling, bumbling, and reaching their way through the first two days of the NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys got one thing right on the third and final day. They didn’t draft a tight end. After an overall middle-grade draft, we’ll take whatever victories we can get. See, Ron, I can write something positive about …
The first two nights of the 2025 NFL Draft are in the books. With the final four rounds a few hours away from getting underway, let’s take a look at how the NFC East’s teams did over the first three rounds. It won’t come as much of a surprise as to which NFC East team emerged …
With glaring needs at starting running back and starting wide receiver, the Dallas Cowboys did what they always do. They fumbled the draft. For the third straight year. One night after reaching for Tyler Booker with the 12th overall pick, Jerry Jones decided to double-down. In the second round, he drafted another edge player. That made …
I’ll be honest with you. As soon as the Dallas Cowboys pick of another offensive lineman was announced, I almost called it a night. Shoot, for a fleeting moment, I was about to call it a season. And there’s still six more rounds of this draft to play out. Is Tyler Booker a bad player? No. …
There were two late trades by teams looking to double-up in Thursday night’s first round of the NFL Draft. When the first was announced, everyone assumed a quarterback that wore the number “2” jersey for his college team was about to be drafted. The assumption was that Shedeur Sanders free fall was going to end. Instead, …
Whether you like the Cowboys’ first-round pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, or absolutely hate it, the deed is done and the second half of the first round is underway. The big mystery of the night? Just how far will Shedeur Sanders fall? Unless the Giants or Browns are planning on moving back up into the …
The second eight picks are on the board and the Dallas Cowboys finally get their man. So far, the only trade has been between the Jaguars and the Browns. So much for Jerry Jones’ teased pre-draft trade talk so far. Not that any of us were really surprised he was all hat and no cattle again …
The night we’ve been waiting for since the Dallas Cowboys were officially eliminated from the 2024 playoffs is here. The 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay. For Cowboys fans we have some more time to go until Jerry Jones screws up makes his pick. The first notable thing of the draft? Roger Goodell riding out onto …
When the Cowboys finally go back on the clock on Saturday, assuming they don’t trade up into the fourth round, they will have seven picks over the final three rounds. Since the NFL reduced the draft to just seven rounds, the most picks Dallas has ever had on the final day was 10 back in 2009. …
Since the NFL went to a seven-round draft format over three days, getting the second day’s picks in the second and third rounds right, has become paramount in the league. Over the last four drafts, the Dallas Cowboys have come up short on Friday evening. As has been the issue with the last two first round …
There have been seven NFL drafts since the unmitigated disaster that was the Dallas Cowboys taking Michigan’s Taco Charlton with the 28th overall pick of the 2017 Draft. Between 2018-2022, with the lone exception of 2019, when Dallas traded the pick to obtain Amari Cooper, the Cowboys had a great run in the first round. 2018 …
The Dallas Cowboys will enter the final round of the 2025 NFL Draft with two picks. As is the case in the sixth round, they are later in the round. But value is still there to be had, and the Cowboys might just pull a rabbit out of their hat with the 239th pick of the …
The Dallas Cowboys will have two picks in the sixth round of the NFL Draft next week. That’s the good news. The bad news is that both picks fall in the bottom third of the round. With as many needs this roster has to fill, it becomes more important than ever for the Cowboys to hit …
Near the end of the 2024 college football season, LSU receiver Kyren Lacy was a potential first-round pick in next week’s draft. That all changed in mid-December on a road in Louisiana. Lacy was allegedly driving recklessly, speeding and passing in a no-passing zone that morning. An oncoming car swerved to avoid hitting Lacy’s car. That …
After taking the first couple of hours off of the Saturday session of the draft, the Dallas Cowboys will get back to work in the fifth round. Dallas will have two draft picks in this round to work with. At one point, they had four picks in the fifth round. They shipped off one to Buffalo …
