It’s finally draft week and the 2024 NFL Draft is just a few days away where the Chicago Bears are waiting to make the first overall pick. I decided to do a full NFC East 7-round mock draft to see how the division rivals can draft players in an attempt to overtake their division counterparts. The …

At the time of this writing, we’re roughly 80 hours from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. We know the Dallas Cowboys have a lot of holes to fill on the roster. They’ve lost several players to free agency and retirement. They’ve only signed two outside free agents – a linebacker and a free agent …
We are less than a week away from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announcing the #1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to the Chicago Bears. After several mock drafts leading up to the big day, today is the day I release my final Cowboys mock draft before the main event starts this Thursday. As always, …
This time next week, we will know what the Cowboys draft class looks like. We all know how important those first couple of picks will be, considering how much the team lost in free agency. They need to hit on their three top-100 picks if they want to see success in 2024. At the same time, …
If Roger Goodell – or any of his replacements – steps up to the podium in Detroit later this week and announces the Cowboys have drafted a tight end, kicker, or a punter… Seriously, I expect all of you to join me at The Star with lit torches and sharpened pitchforks in hand. The one area …
With so many more areas of urgent need in next week’s draft, would the Dallas Cowboys spend one of their seven picks on a defensive back? They just moved Markquese Bell back to safety from linebacker. Even without Stephon Gilmore – assuming Trevon Diggs has fully recovered – they appear to be well stocked at cornerback …
Given the issues Dallas had at stopping the run in 2023 – along with the retirement of Leighton Vander Esch – the Cowboys must draft a middle linebacker next week. Yes, the free agency signing of Eric Kendricks addressed that concern somewhat. But Kendricks is 32, on a one-year deal, and is not the long-term answer. …

They are a unique drafting team, …
In last year’s draft the Dallas Cowboys decided to address their woeful run defense in the first round. They took defensive tackle Mazi Smith out of Michigan. They come into this year’s draft still needing to address their woeful run defense. Smith is bordering on being a Taco Charlton-level – another Michigan defensive lineman drafted by …
The only certainty going into next week’s draft is that Dallas has so many needs they can’t miss with their first pick. Unless they pick another tight end. But not even Jerry Jones is that crazy. Is he? The majority of the mock drafts flooding the internet with 10 days to go before the first pick …
