The Dallas Cowboys have one of the best defenses in the NFL. Led by DC Dan Quinn, stars like Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Trevon Diggs have spearheaded one of the most impressive units in NFL recent memory. 

That's why it makes sense that in the latest ESPN mock draft, which has experts Todd McShay and Mel Kiper alternate picks for three rounds, the Cowboys take an all-in approach to bolstering their offense.

During the playoffs it became painfully obvious that all the San Francisco 49ers had to do was take CeeDee Lamb out of the equation and see the rest of Dak Prescott's targets fail to come up big for the team. 

The Cowboys quarterback had one of his worst performances ever in that game and now the priority is clear for the team: Surround him with better talent. Here's how the two ESPN draft gurus mocked the team's draft: 

• 26. WR Quentin Johnston, TCU
• 56. TE Sam LaPorta, Iowa
• 90. RB Kendre Miller, TCU

Grabbing two TCU players in the opening rounds? That's a Texas-style mock draft if you ask me. And you know what, it's almost impossible to complain about it. 

Although many have criticized Johnston for showing inconsistency and plenty of body catches on his college football tape, if you want a first-round WR with size, he's probably as close as you're going to get to it.

Johnston is a 30-visit for the team, too, which means there's some interest there.

Here's what A to Z Sports' Tyler Browning wrote of the prospect on our Top 30 visit tracker:

Quentin Johnston is a prototypical X receiver. He came in at the combine at 6'3 and 208 pounds. However his play is not of one. He lacks the mentality of, when the ball is in the air it's mine. He is someone who can win through route running, as he can attack the defenders' blind spot. He gets the defender to open their hips as he sells the vertical route before snapping off his route and giving the QB an open throwing window. Knows the nuances of route running and how to maximize his separation ability. Explosive player, tested with a 40.5" vertical and a 11'2 broad jump. Tracks the ball at a very high level. 

As for LaPorta, a three-star wide receiver out of high school, the Cowboys would be getting a solid pass catcher at tight end. McShay calls him an "immediate answer to losing Dalton Schultz in free agency" in the mock draft.

LaPorta would surely give Jake Ferguson a run for his money in the battle for the starting role. Some insiders have hinted at LaPorta going much earlier than many would expect.

Going back to the state of Texas, the Cowboys end up with another Top 30 visit in the third round as McShay has them drafting running back Kendre Miller out of TCU. The team is expected to be in the RB market after releasing Ezekiel Elliott earlier in the year.

He'd be a nice complement to Tony Pollard in the backfield. Here's how The Athletic's Dane Brugler sums up Miller in his 2023 Draft Guide:

Overall, Miller is a work in progress as a receiver and blocker, and his decision-making as a runner has room for improvement, but his lower-body agility, acceleration, and natural balance are traits that can upgrade an NFL backfield. Not being able to work out pre-draft might hurt him a tad on draft weekend, but he has NFL starting talent. 

Two pass-catchers and a running back to kick things off? That would be a very intriguing approach for the 2023 Cowboys considering they usually like to keep things balanced. 

However, if they truly have a win-now mentality going into the season, it might be the way to go this year.
