What do the Cowboys need this offseason? That’s the core of the journey right now, as free agency comes close to fruition. The Cowboys have the ability to create loads of cap room in a couple strokes of a pen, but the real question is whether they even want to spend in free agency. It’s been a while since they invested heavily in the market and the internal promotion of Brian Schottenheimer doesn’t scream all-in.
Too soon? Well, the reality is Dallas is likely going to need to hit home runs in the draft in order to make a real impact on their roster, and that was the attempt here in this five-round mock draft run on Pro Football Focus.
Dallas needs help in a ton of places, but getting help on offense to compliment the expensive parts they have at quarterback in Dak Prescott and receiver in CeeDee Lamb makes the most sense. The Cowboys already have the world’s best edge player and two All-Pro cornerbacks. They’ll need to grab help at defensive tackle, a barren position, but should do so in free agency instead of waiting on draft picks to develop.
The immediate help comes in the form of skill players.
