The idea is dangerous to entertain. Caleb Downs is among the best players in this year’s NFL draft class. Any thought that he could wind up with a star on his helmet feels foolish. We can’t let ourselves believe it. There is no way. Why subject ourselves to that hurt and pain? A light flickers, […]

Odds are that Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles […]
Offensively, the Cowboys have everything you could ask for at the skill positions. Two elite receivers, an upper-echelon quarterback, a borderline Pro Bowl running back, and a multi-Pro Bowler at tight end. When you look at that, the Cowboys have an embarrassment of riches. Yet, when you examine the offensive line, it’s not as star-studded. […]
The Dallas Cowboys front office has been movers and shakers over the last 365 days, repeatedly swapping out players for premium draft capital and vice versa.

That draft delivered five starters and also sets up high […]

The Dallas Cowboys head into the draft with a defensive wishlist longer than a Texas highway, and most fans are hoping their first-round pick will be someone who can tackle something.

The Dallas Cowboys have a need at linebacker, that’s no secret.
