This Cowboys draft prospect has shutdown corner pedigree

The Dallas Cowboys have eight picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. They own picks 12, 20, 92, 112, 152, 177, 180, and 218, and the shape of the roster makes it easy to see why an all-defense approach could be appealing (even if it is very unlikely). Dallas has already reworked the unit some this […]

How the Cowboys can cash in on elite edge rusher

The Dallas Cowboys’ edge rushing group has recently begun a makeover and now features a whole lot of question marks.

Why Christian Parker is the key to fixing the Dallas defense

As we approach the end of March and the calmer waves of free agency, many are underwhelmed by the Cowboys’ activity so far this offseason.

Cowboys should draft this turnover machine

ESPN mock draft connects popular name to Dallas Cowboys

Given that the Dallas Cowboys’ first pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft is number 12 overall, there is a finite number of conceivable permutations that make sense. It is the NFL draft and anything can happen, but you get the point. We have a pretty solid idea of the types of […]

Cowboys survey: What the draft priority should be

We are definitely in the dead zone between the action of free agency, and the upcoming NFL draft.

The Cowboys seem to be […]

Fourth-round draft prospects who can really help Dallas

Pick number 112 is not where the Cowboys need to chase a vanity pick, and it’s nice the team has a fourth round pick to play with. It is where they need to find a player with a real job. Dallas now owns eight picks, including number 92 in the third round and number 112 […]

Cowboys could really elevate secondary in the draft

The cornerback room of the Dallas Cowboys looks a bit like a jigsaw puzzle with a few critical pieces lost under the sofa. While DaRon Bland remains a solid piece when his foot is not giving him trouble, younger guys like Shavon Revel Jr. and Caelen Carson have yet to take a step in the right […]

Why the Cowboys should stay patient with George Pickens’ contract

The Dallas Cowboys find themselves in an interesting situation with wide receiver George Pickens.

It was sheer brilliance, but now the team must figure out […]

Here is what the Cowboys reportedly offered Raiders for Maxx Crosby
