We’re now in April, and if you’re a die-hard NFL enthusiast you know that means it’s NFL Draft time baby. Given that we’re only four weeks away from the actual draft, you’re likely going to see mock’s ramp-up from sports sites, so of course, that only means more debate from fans. (We love wholesome debates between …
While it’s typical to see any Cowboys-related mock drafts selecting either Offensive Line or Wide Receiver for the 24th pick, ESPN Reporter Mike Tannenbaum surprised fans on Wednesday when he selected LSU Cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. at Pick 24 in his latest Mock Draft. According to Tannenbaum, Stingley Jr., a projected Top 10-15 player, slid to the …
To drift away from the talk of the NFL Draft and the chaotic NFL offseason, I decided I wanted to dive into the Dallas Cowboys fantasy preview for next season. Now, I get that there could be moves made from now until the start of the 2022 season, but it’s likely the team’s starting offense remains …
As it was announced Saturday morning the New York Jets signed former Cowboys Kicker Greg Zuerlein, I was once again reminded that the Dallas Cowboys currently don’t have a starting kicker on the team. Yes, they did sign former Texas and SMU Kicker Chris Naggar to a futures contract, but he has barely any NFL experience, …
Earlier this week, the Dallas Cowboys appeared to have signed Randy Gregory to a multi-year contract, but at the last minute, things took a turn. Instead, the pass rusher opted to take his services up north to the Denver Broncos. As a result of this strange turn of events, Dallas now has a gaping hole at …
The Dallas Cowboys moved on from long-time starting offensive tackle La’el Collins this week. While Terence Steele is now inheriting the starting role at right tackle, it does beg the question if Jerry Jones needs to draft a tackle this year. The obvious answer is yes, especially when you consider how deep this upcoming draft class …
If you’re like me, you have to admit The Dallas Cowboys surprised you this season by fielding a top defense for once, but it’s obvious their secondary is still an issue. In my piece yesterday, I wrote over two prospects the team could trade up in the first round for and brought up LSU Cornerback Derek Stingley …
While the 2022 NFL Draft is still a month away, I decided to choose two potential players the Cowboys could trade up for in the first round, and to help determine the trade package they would have to put together to move up, I used Draft Tek’s value chart. The chart gives each draft pick a …
In a shocking development. Randy Gregory’s reported new 5-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys is no more. The free agent defensive end will now be signing with the Denver Broncos. Barely an hour after the news of his return to the Cowboys was made public, now it appears something went awry in the finalization and the …
The Cowboys wide receiver depth chart is currently much weaker than in recent years. Two days after Dallas traded Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns, it’s now reported that Cedrick Wilson will be signing with the Miami Dolphins when free agency officially opens on Wednesday. Today was the start of the NFL’s stupidly named “legal tampering” …
The Dallas Cowboys currently have an interesting situation as far as the running back position goes. Obviously, the team won’t be picking one up early in April’s NFL draft. However, the later rounds (particularly the fifth) offer some intriguing options. Will the Cowboys cut or trade Ezekiel Elliot? It’s a question that’s been on everyone’s minds …
The tight end position is a noteworthy question mark for the Dallas Cowboys, mostly due to depth. The team used its franchise tag on Dalton Schultz, who was the 137th selection back in 2018, but is that enough? With that being said, many might not deem the position worthy of an early mid-round draft choice. The …
As is the case for most teams, the way the roster evolves due to free agency greatly affects their drafting approach each year. The Dallas Cowboys are no exception, especially given the recent news that they will be moving on from star wide receiver Amari Cooper. Wide receiver was already seen as an area of need …
One of the biggest offseason needs for the Dallas Cowboys is their offensive line’s interior. Accordingly, CBS Sports currently predicts Boston College’s Zion Johnson going to the Dallas Cowboys with the 24th selection. Dallas made a playoff appearance but was unceremoniously eliminated in the wild card round, failing to make any noise in the process. If …
As the NFL offseason began, the Dallas Cowboys finally became face-to-face with one of their biggest problems and if you haven’t kept up lately with Cowboys-related news, it’s their usual salary cap issues. With 24 free agents, the Cowboys are not only tasked with finding different routes to retain their personnel but to find money since …
The Dallas Cowboys need help at a few key positions. Chief among them is their offensive line. If Jerry Jones wants to make sure Dak Prescott stays upright these coming years, investing top draft capital in the trenches will help ensure he does so. Likewise, there’s another conundrum facing the Cowboys, and that’s their safety group. …
As the Dallas Cowboys enter this offseason, the biggest question around the team is likely on how they can retain all 24 of their free agents. While we aren’t breaking down the free agency situation in this piece, I give three players the Cowboys could select with their 24th pick in this year’s 2022 NFL Draft. …
While the tight end position isn’t as much of a need as a defensive tackle or an interior offensive lineman, the Dallas Cowboys should do their due diligence. Picking one up at this year’s NFL draft could pay huge dividends. Trey McBride and a couple of other tight end prospects would surely benefit the Cowboys. The …
The Dallas Cowboys will need to address their wide receiver corps, which is surrounded by many question marks. Luckily for them, Jahan Dotson and a few other options might be available in the second round of the NFL draft. Who should the Cowboys target in the second round? Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State Optimally, Jerry Jones …
With the NFL Draft under 70 days away, Cowboys Nation mock draft season is well underway and there are some interesting topics. The Dallas Cowboys have over 20 upcoming free agents but other than a handful of names, it appears as if the Cowboys could have a bigger roster turnaround than they had last season. Even …
On draft day, the Dallas Cowboys will need to address their defensive and offensive lines. Offensively speaking, their interior needs some long-term answers, particularly at guard. Regarding the Cowboys’ defense, they need a defensive tackle that will not only get to opposing quarterbacks but also stuff runs consistently. Regardless of what Jerry Jones does with the …
