Over the past few seasons, the Cowboys have opted to focus more on the draft rather than signing big names in free agency to fill needs. Instead, they've turned their attention to mid-level players, such as Nolan Carroll and Stephen Paea to help round out the roster going into the draft.
The idea is to have a roster that doesn't force their hand at any position when the time comes to make their selection. Take recently signed Nolan Carroll, for example. The Cowboys clearly had a need at cornerback, but with Orlando Scandrick, Anthony Brown and the aforementioned Carroll, the team has three reliable players they could use if the board doesn't fall the way they anticipated.
The Cowboys want to improve their defense and plan on spending a majority of their picks trying to improve their pass rush and secondary. But they will stay true to their board and pick the best player that falls to them.
