Cowboys rank 7th on Bill Barnwell's offensive playmakers list

[fivetwos]

Giants have better personnel than 31st with just Nabers alone.

Skateboo isn’t awful and they just added Shuster and Beckham. A juggernaut it is not, but they aren’t 31, nor could the Arizona Cardinals be SIXTH (aside from when they play us).

 

[fivetwos]

Probably purely based on their performances vs the Cowboys defense

Ah man you beat me to that.

Btw I’m highly disappointed for not getting a like for my EWF reference yesterday. You’re better.

 

[JoeKing]

The Cowboys offense will prove to be far better than seventh in the league... if Dak stays healthy.

 

[Kwyn]

What??? Sure they have Marvin Harrison Jr. but I wouldn't pick any of their RB's over Williams and no other WR over the Cowboys top 3 dogs. I get Trey McBride puts up huge numbers. But I'm not picking the Cardinals over the Cowboys!

32 of 32 teams would take Love over Williams right now.

Did you maybe forget about him?

The only place the Cowboys are better is WR2. Tight End an absolute blowout for the Cards.

 

[Kwyn]

What about the other positions? Harrison isn’t even the best receiver on his team if they had a QB and Harrison hits his potential I’d understand. Jacoby is solid but 6 seems high.

Tight End and RB are, or will be, absolutely elite. Barring injury, Love will be OROY.

 

[Kwyn]

I feel that seventy is actually pretty close to right.

It also shows how bad the situation will be next year if Jerry fumbles the Pickens play.

Ferguson and Williams are due to fall this year and 2027 will be even worse.

CeeDee also had a down year, for him, and will need to rebound.

Hasn’t even played a snap…..

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Not so worried about his rankings, I know we have playmakers. The key however for any playmaker is to have space and time. How successful the playmakers are will hinge largely upon the big uglies and the trigger man.

 

[charron]

He seems to have dinged the Cowboys because he doesn't like CD but gives Cardinal players a lot of grace because he likes them.

 

[Kwyn]

Hasn’t even played a snap…..

If there’s one position that is a near certainty, it’s elite, three down running backs.

Pretty much every draft guide had him just behind Saquan/Bijan.

You wouldn’t trade him instantly for Javontae? Because that’s kind of the gist of these rankings

Top five from each team racked and stacked

WR1
WR2
WR3
RB1
TE

Hasn't stopped people from pumping up Downs here though

I would trade Javonte for Jeanty that doesn’t mean he was better last year.

I’ve yet to hear anyone pump up Downs as one of the best safeties in the league. Even if they had this place isn’t be all for what’s right lol.

Well, good thing cause the exercise was for 2026

So in 2026 has Love played a down? Because I thought that was the point. Judging someone based on facing collegiate players seems silly to me but hey….

Have you looked around this place?

We’re gonna need one of these for Trigg also once preseason starts.

7. Dallas Cowboys

2025 rank: 11 | 2024 rank: 8

The Cowboys might claim to have the best one-two punch in the league at wide receiver between CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

Pickens' performance after moving from Pittsburgh to Dallas is a great example of how context can dramatically change a player's production. Pickens shifted from a run-first offense with bad quarterback play in Pittsburgh to one that played faster, threw more often and was operated by a much better signal-caller in Dallas. Pickens played better in a vacuum, but he also was in a much more advantageous situation to succeed.

Lamb's 2023 season might look like an outlier if he can't come close to hitting that 1,749-yard mark again in 2026. He's still extremely efficient, but Lamb has missed time with injuries each of the past two seasons and hasn't been able to command the outlandish target share he saw during that big campaign. Between Pickens and tight end Jake Ferguson, who made it back to the Pro Bowl after catching more than 80% of the passes thrown in his direction last season, it's tough to see Lamb earning 181 targets again anytime soon.

Javonte Williams was a pleasant surprise at running back in 2025, staying healthy for the majority of the season and averaging nearly 5 yards per carry along the way. He had struggled to stay on the field since an early-career knee injury, so if he can keep this up in 2026, it'll be difficult to find many faults with what the Cowboys can roll out for Dak Prescott.

Cardinals? Falcons?

I cant disagree with the rest although niners have lost a couple of pieces and mccaffrey is older, but their coach is very goodnin creating mismatches

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Love and McBride are miles ahead of what Dallas has at RB and TE.

WRs? And how much better is Love over Williams who had 1200 yards.
