Though the Dallas Cowboys didn’t have a first round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the NFC East was very active on the first day of the draft.

The Dallas Cowboys have general depth across the roster right now, but you can’t include the running back position in that statement.

After the Dallas Cowboys gave up 273 rushing yards in last season’s playoff loss to the Rams, the defensive tackle position became a greater concern for 2019.

If you were to look at the Dallas Cowboys depth chart at wide receiver right now you would think they were set at the position. But, the way they’ve approached the offseason and some of the prospects they’ve shown an interest in throughout the draft process seems to suggest otherwise. Wide receiver seems to be very …
The Dallas Cowboys got a jump on most NFL teams in using their 2019 draft picks. Last October, they traded this year’s first rounder to the Oakland Raiders for Pro Bowl receiver Amari Cooper. Thanks to that move, the WR position is not a dire need in this week’s draft. While Dallas won’t enjoy the usual …
Yesterday, I took a look at a few Aggies who have garnered some interest from the Dallas Cowboys during the pre-draft process.

The Dallas Cowboys have been pretty forthcoming about their desire to add another starting caliber running back to pair with Ezekiel Elliott at some point in the 2019 NFL Draft.

They’ve searched far and wide to get an understanding of this draft class in hopes of finding the best players possible for the 2019 season and beyond.

After re-signing DeMarcus Lawrence and trading for Robert Quinn, the Dallas Cowboys have their starting defensive ends for the upcoming 2019 season.

I’m convinced the Dallas Cowboys’ biggest need heading into the 2019 NFL Draft lies at the safety position.

With a pretty deep safety class, I believe they’ll find a quality player …
The Dallas Cowboys have invested a lot of draft capital in their offensive line over the last several years. Just last season, they spent a second-round pick on Guard Connor Williams.
