Outside of Micah Parsons, the linebacker position is very thin for the Cowboys. Leighton Vander Esch has underperformed, we don’t know what Jabril Cox could be and Luke Gifford hasn’t escaped special teams yet. In the middle rounds of the 2022 NFL Draft, LSU’s Damone Clark is an option at linebacker. Last season, Clark was a …
Almost two weeks ago, Jerry Jones said to media that he would consider trading up from the 24th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft if the right prospect fell into Dallas’ range. Today, just a few days from the NFL’s marquee offseason event, the Cowboys are rumored to be considering Oregon pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux as …
The Dallas Cowboys have nine selections in the 2022 NFL Draft, including four in the fifth round. After losing wide receiver Amari Cooper, guard Connor Williams, and edge rusher Randy Gregory, among others, let’s just say there are many holes on the team. The biggest defensive holes are defensive tackle and linebacker, while the interior offensive …
Running back is one of the Cowboys’ strongest positions ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft. But though RB is not a major concern for Dallas this offseason, the contracts of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard could cause it to get more attention next week than we’d otherwise assume. With one of the league’s best one-two punches …
If the Cowboys want to draft a receiver in the later rounds of the NFL Draft, a West Texas prospect could be a strong option. Texas Tech’s Erik Ezukanma, one of the more underrated wide receivers in this year’s draft, is an intriguing prospect. He has a diverse skillset and has a great combination of size …
Assessing the Cowboys’ needs for the 2022 NFL Draft can be a difficult balancing act. Not all roster positions carry the same weight and some aren’t as clear as others based on what we know of the current talent. Another factor to consider is players who are expected to miss games in 2022; how much could …
NFL Draft this, NFL Draft that, I feel like everything has been so repetitive when it comes to draft coverage that I’m going to go crazy. All jokes aside, I’m very excited for NFL Draft Night because it’s one of my favorite days of the year and all of the crazy scenarios that could materialize are limitless. …
As Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones came out Wednesday saying he would trade up in the NFL Draft (which was a surprise for many), I was inspired to write up three predictions for the upcoming Draft. As the biggest storyline is arguably around who they’re going to draft with their first-round pick, I give my three predictions …
Recently, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has expressed interest in moving up from the No. 24 pick in this year’s draft. It would be a rare move for Dallas, as the last time this happened was in 2012 (Cowboys traded up from No. 12 to No. 6 to select LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne). There’s …
Drafting kickers isn’t common; only eight have been selected by the Cowboys in over sixty years. But given Dallas major need at the position in 2022, could this upcoming draft be the ninth time it happens? Of those eight kickers drafted during franchise history, only two have come during Jerry Jones’ ownership. They weren’t far apart; …
As we inch closer to the NFL Draft, it feels like it’s been all-out Mock Draft Galore among analysts and fans, and I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for it to end. All jokes aside, I can’t lie that I don’t love reading about the hypothetical scenarios that have the Dallas Cowboys snagging a …
The Cowboys always seem to have a hole at safety. Unfortunately for them, there’s no safety worth taking at pick No. 24. Notre Dame’s Kyle Hamilton will undoubtedly be gone, and better prospects will be available when Dallas picks. However, plenty of talent will be available on day two of the NFL Draft. One that stands …
While you never want to hear the idea of your team potentially drafting an injured player in the NFL Draft, I decided to reverse the trend and talk about the Dallas Cowboys potentially drafting Michigan EDGE David Ojabo. Ojabo, who was being rated as a Top-15 player before he tore his Achilles at his Pro Day, …
Probably the biggest theme to the Cowboys 2022 offseason so far has been their lack of aggressiveness in free agency. But could Dallas be saving its big moves for the upcoming NFL Draft? Jerry Jones comments earlier today may be a clue. Speaking to the media during a press conference regarding a new business venture, Jerry …
Unless the Cowboys want Connor McGovern starting at left guard, they need to draft a starting-caliber guard in the NFL Draft. Two of the best guards in this draft, Texas A&M’s Kenyon Green and Boston College’s Zion Johnson, could be available at pick No. 24. Assuming both will be there, here’s a breakdown of each and …
There are many different ways that the Cowboys could go with their first three picks in the 2022 NFL Draft. Depending on available talent at positions of need, could a run-stuffing defensive tackle be in the mix? If so, UConn’s Travis Jones could be on Dallas’ radar Friday night. While Georgia’s Jordan Davis has become a …
After spending the 12th Pick on Penn State Linebacker Micah Parsons in last year’s draft, people figured there would be a mix of offensive and defensive players targeted after Parsons, but the club surprised everyone and spent almost all of their picks on defense. Now entering this year’s draft, it’s clear that both sides of the …
The NFL Draft is drawing closer, and it’s created more conversation about what the Cowboys will do with their No. 24 pick. If Dallas wants to draft a wide receiver with that pick, look no further than Ohio State’s Chris Olave. Olave enters the draft as one of college football’s best wide receivers in recent years. …
After losing Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson, wide receiver is a need for the Cowboys heading into the 2022 NFL Draft. One wide receiver that could be available at No. 24 for the Cowboys is Arkansas product Treylon Burks. Burks spent three seasons as a Razorback, making three All-SEC teams. He caught 146 passes for 2,399 …
Entering the 2022 NFL Draft you’re likely to hear that some of the Dallas Cowboys’ biggest needs are at Offensive Line, Wide Receiver, Linebacker, Edge, Cornerback, and Defensive Tackle. However, could the one position we are ignoring that the franchise needs is a backup Quarterback? Now I’m not advocating that the franchise spends one of their …
The Dallas Cowboys will likely address both the wide receiver position and their offensive line within the first couple of days of this month’s NFL draft. However, Appalachian State’s D’Marco Jackson would make for an intriguing linebacker prospect if he’s available on Day 3. With the early, splashy waves of free agency now in the rearview …
