Cowboys foolishly gambling with 4th round pick trades

Cowboys foolishly gambling with 4th round pick trades

When the 2025 NFL Draft gets underway in Green Bay next week, the Dallas Cowboys will be without a fourth-round pick for the second straight year. And they have no one else to blame but themselves for it. Last year’s fourth-round pick had been traded to the San Francisco 49ers back before the 2023 season began …

Defensive Tackle Debate: Mazi Smith or a Rookie Draft Pick?

This time two years ago, then-Michigan Wolverine Mazi Smith was gearing up for the NFL Draft as one of the top defensive tackles available. Two years later, the Cowboys may draft a rookie to compete with, or replace Smith. That’s simply the business of the NFL. Dallas’ 2023 first-rounder is heading into the third year of …

Could the Cowboys go bold with this 1st-round pick?

Could the Cowboys draft a star tight end in the 1st round?

The 1997 Cowboys draft saw a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles to select LSU tight end David LaFleur in the first round. That remains the last time Dallas drafted a player at that position on Day 1 of the NFL Draft. LaFleur played just four seasons in the league, and the 2003 selection of Jason Witten …

Micah Parsons gets personal memorabilia signed by 2 MLB legends

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons has quickly become one of the NFL’s brightest stars, known for his relentless motor, jaw-dropping athleticism, and game-changing plays.

Cam Skattebo should be the Cowboys 3rd round pick

Cowboys should head for the desert for their 3rd round pick

By then, however, the top players will likely be gone. There is one running back who made a name for himself in his senior season …

The Dallas Cowboys’ defensive end group leaves something to be desired. That something is a proven player other than Micah Parsons and Dante Fowler. Besides these two players, the Dallas Cowboys have some unproven talent in the defensive end room. Young players such as Sam Williams, Marshawn Kneeland, and Tyrus Wheat have not proven much in …

Agent 0 Demarvion Overshown

Agent 0 is back on the case

In a move that should have happened the instant the NFL lifted its league-wide ban on any team jersey having just a “0” on it, DeMarvion Overshown is back as Agent 0. When the NFL lifted the restriction, then safety Jayron Kearse was slated to wear the number but instead was issued a “1”, leaving fans …

Jerry Jones speaks Cowboys ahead of Super Bowl LIX

Should the Cowboys take 1 big swing on draft day?

The Dallas Cowboys currently hold 10 draft picks going into this year’s NFL draft. Which begs the question: Do they use all 10 picks and draft 10 players? Or, do they take some of those extra picks in the final three rounds and take a big swing in the first round? Jerry Jones hasn’t taken many …

The Cowboys should steer clear of this potentially available player

Recent speculation has emerged regarding the New York Jets potentially trading their standout running back. While the allure of acquiring a player of Breece Hall’s caliber might tempt some teams, the Dallas Cowboys should exercise caution and refrain from pursuing such a trade.

One way or the other, the Dallas Cowboys should attend to an offensive need in the first round. Should they hold true to that, they can go running back or wide receiver, whichever one they don’t pick in the first round, in the second round. Or, they could go with a defensive player in this round …

Should Dallas get defensive in draft’s 1st round?

Should Dallas get defensive in draft’s 1st round?

In yesterday’s post, I mocked the entire first round of the NFL draft with Dallas taking a wide receiver with the 12th pick. As an interesting aside, I had the Cleveland Browns taking WR/CB Travis Hunter instead of his Colorado teammate, quarterback Sheduer Sanders. Six hours later, this happened: https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1909290522142789669 Hey, Adam, thanks for reading. I’ll …
