Cowboys insider lays out likely NFL Draft strategy
The Cowboys may already have their plan together for the draft.
It is no secret that the Dallas Cowboys have multiple needs to address in the NFL Draft. Free agency will shape a clearer picture of which positions the Cowboys need to prioritize and which ones have already been covered.
Wide receiver and defensive back are two needs that are well-known. Dallas desperately needs to add another pass catcher alongside CeeDee Lamb. That would give Dak Prescott multiple options through the air.
On defense, the Cowboys would be wise to add a corner. Trevon Diggs is an established commodity, and Da'Ron Bland emerged in a big way. But, Dallas needs more depth and talent in the secondary.
Running back and tight end are two other positions worth considering early in the draft. Especially since there is some things that need to be resolved at both spots this month.
Dallas reportedly plans to place the franchise tag on Tony Pollard, who is coming off a gruesome injury. Whereas Dalton Schultz could be on the way out after playing on the tag this past season.
Therefore, it is becoming easier to piece together what the Cowboys will do once the draft arrives. In fact, Dallas Cowboys insider Bobby Belt believes that he has a good feel on what the strategy appears to be.
Furthermore, it would be smart for the Cowboys to add a corner early in this draft. There are more than a handful of high-quality corners that could be in serious consideration for the first-round.
The receiver talent is headlined by Jaxon Smith-Njigba from Ohio State, Jordan Addison out of USC, and TCU's Quentin Johnston. Zay Flowers from Boise State is another that has some early-round buzz.
Additionally, the draft just so happens to have good talent at running back and tight end, as well. If the Cowboys play things right, there should be a realistic scenario where Dallas fills important needs with premium selections.
That would be the ideal situation. Either way, the Dallas Cowboys should have plenty of options to improve the roster come April.
