The NFL Draft is less than a month away, which means we’ll be seeing weekly rumors from now until draft day. This week, the smoke around the Cowboys’ draft plan centered around Texas A&M star Shemar …
Since 1989, the Dallas Cowboys have only used a top-100 pick on a wide receiver or running back just 18 times. Their philosophy has generally prioritized linemen, linebackers, and defensive backs in the early rounds, widely ignoring the skill positions: running back and wide receiver (I purposely left out tight end). A mixed bag of Hall …
Since Jerry Jones purchased the Dallas Cowboys in 1989, the team has built a franchise rich in history, but when it comes to drafting wide receivers in the first round, the Cowboys have been remarkably selective. In fact, only three wide receivers have been selected in the first round during Jones’ tenure as owner. This limited …
Considering how many holes the Cowboys are trying to fill this spring, tight end might be the one position that they should ignore. Dallas has a solid top three tight ends on their depth chart coming into next month’s draft. Bringing in another tight end might be overkill. In other words, if it ain’t broke, don’t …
Even with Stefon Diggs signing a massive deal to join the New England Patriots on Tuesday, there does remain quite a few free agent receivers on the market. There was no way the Cowboys were going to spend that kind of money on Diggs. Despite many in the fanbase wanting to see the Diggs brothers on …
The Cowboys have made moves to address a shockingly empty running back room this month. With Rico Dowdle packing his bags for Carolina, Dallas was left with Deuce Vaughn, Hunter Luepke, and Malik Davis at running back. That was not optimal. In the two weeks of free agency, the Cowboys have signed a pair of backs, …
The Dallas Cowboys, one of the NFL’s most storied franchises, have long been known for their strong roster, both in terms of talent and historical success. However, despite their rich legacy, the Cowboys have been rather selective when it comes to drafting quarterbacks. Since 2001, the team has only selected five quarterbacks: Quincy Carter, Stephen McGee, …
Quinn Ewers could be the backup plan for Dallas in more ways than one as they prepare to host the University of Texas Quarterback. As all fans know, the Cowboys have a $240 million quarterback in Dak Prescott, but his injury history has made it almost mandatory to draft a young quarterback. A young gunslinger to …
With this year’s free agency period now at two weeks old, there are several free agent quarterbacks still on the market. The Dallas Cowboys have two quarterbacks currently on the roster in Dak Prescott and Will Grier. They will almost certainly add a third sooner or later. But will that new quarterback come from free agency …
As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the Dallas Cowboys find themselves with a top 12 pick in the draft for the first time since the 2021 NFL Draft when they selected LB Micah Parsons in the first round. With an established core and a roster filled with talent, the Cowboys’ front office faces a pivotal decision …
We’re just two weeks into free agency this year. But there is one NFC East team that appears to be off to an early lead. The Washington Commanders have re-signed 15 of their free agents already. They’ve also added 10 more free agent signings and picked up two key pieces in trades. The Commanders are hitting …
A draft prospect the Dallas Cowboys 2025 draft plan must include is a pass rusher, and one of the top pass rush prospects should be available at pick 12. The Cowboys did bring back a former player, Dante Fowler Jr., who spent last season with the Washington Commanders. Fowler had a great season last year and …
The 2025 Dallas Cowboys will need to upgrade several skill positions, with the wide receiver position being one of the two most important areas that need help. The Cowboys have added depth to the wide receiver depth chart by signing Parris Campbell, but this signing does not improve the talent situation. CeeDee Lamb needs another talented …
Each day we get closer to the NFL draft in April, and after the moves both the Dallas Cowboys have made and other teams throughout the league have done, the Cowboys draft board looks a lot different now than it did two months ago. The Cowboys have signed some depth players, and a few are probably …
The Dallas Cowboys are primed to take a big leap in the 2025 NFL season, largely due to a stronger than normal draft crop, with several compensatory picks as well. Not to mention, these are key additions that fill some of the major holes each team needed to address, and it helps their attempts at being …
We are nearly a month away from the NFL Draft, and one thing has become clear in Dallas: the 2025 draft class may revolve around the Cowboys’ wide receiver weakness. Five years have passed since the team selected CeeDee Lamb with the 17th pick, and it could be time to bring in the star WR2 that …
The Ohio State Buckeyes are ready for the upcoming NFL Draft, with several players expected to be selected. Surely one of the best players around, TreVeyon Henderson, has showcased his talent in the best possible way, convincing scouts that he has exactly what it takes to make it at the highest level. Last season was amazing …
Now that we’re closing in on April, it’s officially Cowboys Mock Draft Monday season. While a surprise signing could still come in, it seems that Dallas has made their moves for free agency and is looking toward the draft. The front office was significantly more active this year than in previous ones, but their moves were …
The Dallas Cowboys have been granted four compensatory draft picks for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, a recognition of personnel decisions and roster departures. Dallas was awarded three 5th round and one 6th round pick. Compensatory picks are given to teams based on the free agents they lost in the previous offseason where were signed by …
This 2025 Dallas Cowboys mock draft will be based on the roster holes filled, or, in some fans’ opinions, not filled, by free agent signings. The official start of NFL free agency was Wednesday, March 12th, at 3 p.m. central time, and the Cowboys were busy. Not only were a few outside free agents signed, but …
Well, after a week of free agents getting signed left and right, the Dallas Cowboys once again have shown all the fans they simply don’t care enough about winning football games. After clearing all the cap space they did last week, they have done nothing in return attempting to make this football team better. While you …
