Even with Jason Witten’s return to football, the Dallas Cowboys should be in the market for a tight end in this year’s NFL Draft. And, of course, the best place to get an up close and personal look at the upcoming crop of tight ends, was at the 2019 NFL Combine. The Cowboys kept a keen …
The 2019 NFL Combine is just about complete, as the final group goes through their workouts Monday morning to cap off the weekend. Obviously the Cowboys were paying close attention to each group participating, but some groups stand out in particular due to team need. Running back is one of those areas. Dallas is looking for …
The Dallas Cowboys, like every other NFL team, have been putting in the work these past several days at the 2019 NFL Combine in Indianapolis to better familiarize themselves with this year’s draft class ahead of the NFL Draft in April. This is the first opportunity a lot of these teams have had to get to …
Wide Receiver Cole Beasley has been an important part of the Dallas Cowboys offense for the past several years now, but his time with America’s Team may be coming to an end. No one really knows right now whether or not his time in Dallas is officially over, but it doesn’t hurt to look at younger and …
The 2019 NFL Combine is upon us, and with the excitement of some sort of football being back also comes confusion for a lot of fans. Which drills matter? Which position groups do they matter for? How fast is fast? Do the Cowboys care about any of these drills in particular? The combine (and the NFL draft …
With the combine kicking off this week, it’s a great time to get out my first mock draft of the season. Considering the Cowboys don’t have a first round pick, doing a traditional first round mock really isn’t valuable on this site. Instead, here is my first official try at a 7 round mock for the …
Michael Dogbe is another in a long line of NFL Draft hidden gems. The talented defensive lineman from Temple is fresh off his senior season and thanks to a strong outing at the Senior Bowl, he’s starting to get some recognition. The 6’3″ 285-pound senior in 2019 had a very strong finish to his collegiate career. …
NAME: Andy Isabella SCHOOL: Massachusetts (UMass) CONFERENCE: Independent POSITION: Wide Receiver CLASS: Senior JERSEY: No. 5 RECRUITMENT RATING: 3-star HT: 5’8 7/8″ WT: 186 D.O.B.: 11/18/96 Highlights: Pros: Andy Isabella has shown the ability to play both out of the slot or on the outside during his time at UMass, but will likely find most of his success as a slot receiver in the NFL. …
Heading into both free agency and draft season, safety is a clear need of the Dallas Cowboys for 2019. They’ll likely need to take one within their first two picks, unless they address the position in free agency first (see: Earl Thomas). This year’s safety class is one that can fit many different types of needs, …
The NFL doesn’t really have an offseason if you are interested in the NFL Draft, and this week only proves this further true with the 2019 NFL Combine getting underway. More than 20 tight ends will attend the combine, and the Cowboys will likely keep a close eye on each one of them. In particular, three …
We are 16 days from the start of NFL free agency and 59 days away from the first round of the NFL Draft and the Dallas Cowboys will hope to continue their recent track record of success. They’ve been able to find players on each day of the draft over the last few years. No longer …
Last week, we discussed Kentucky cornerback Lonnie Johnson Jr. and his potential fit with the Cowboys defense. The idea was that while many of his coverage skills are raw and need substantial development, his height/weight/length fit exactly what Kris Richard tends to look for. Notre Dame’s Julian Love is almost the opposite of this. The 5’11” …
NAME: Jalen Hurd POSITION: Wide Receiver SCHOOL: Baylor CONFERENCE: Big 12 CLASS: Senior JERSEY: No. 5 RECRUITMENT RATING: 4-star HT: 6’4″ WT: 229 D.O.B.: 1/23/96 Highlights: Before we get to know Jalen Hurd the player, I thought it would be a good idea to tell you little bit about his background. Not only was he a 4-star recruit coming out …
The NFL Scouting Combine is only a few days away as on-field workouts will begin on Friday, March 1st. It’s a special event for many draft fans and a time to discover great athletes and raw ability. It’s also an important opportunity for prospects to make their stock go way up, and sometimes watch it plummet. …
Although the Dallas Cowboys won’t be on the clock in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, they essentially invested their first pick in Amari Cooper. However, wide receiver remains a need for the team, specially with Cole Beasley heading for free agency. Out of West Virginia, Wide Receiver David Sills is an interesting potential …
The Dallas Cowboys will receive an extra fourth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft after the league awarded compensatory picks today. The pick will be 136th overall, which is one spot below were Dallas drafted Dak Prescott in 2016. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1099031412425019399 We have Anthony Hitchens to thank for this extra pick. The former Cowboys linebacker signed a …
I thought it would be a good idea to get out another 7-round Dallas Cowboys mock draft before the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine kicks off next week. Not only will the Combine shakeup a lot of people’s big boards and draft rankings, but it will also be the first opportunity a lot of us will get …
While most fans are hoping the Cowboys snag a different safety who played his football in the state of Washington, Huskies safety Taylor Rapp should be towards the top of their draft targets on day two. The Cowboys have some decisions to make when it comes to their back-end, particularly at safety. Do they want to …
The 2019 NFL Draft will be an interesting one for the Dallas Cowboys. From the outside looking in it doesn’t seem as if they have any clear “needs” that need to be addressed. But, if you were to dive deeper into their roster you’d probably discover things might not be as stable as we’d like to …
Since Kris Richard has taken over the back-end of the Dallas Cowboys defense, they have clearly shown a bias towards a “type” of cornerback. Richard, looking to build this Dallas unit in a similar form to his Seattle teams, has prioritized long corners both in height and arm length. As his responsibilities within the organization increase, …
NAME: Rodney Anderson SCHOOL: Oklahoma CONFERENCE: Big 12 POSITION: Running Back CLASS: RS Junior JERSEY: No. 24 RECRUITMENT RATING: 4-star HT: 6’1″ WT: 219 D.O.B.: 9/12/96 Highlights: Before we get into the player, we should really try to get to know Rodney Anderson the person. He attended Katy High School in Katy, Texas, one of the powerhouse HS football programs in the state. …
