Needs heading into free agency and draft

FA is first so focusing on FA:
QB - Rush
RB - None
TE - None
OL - Will Hernandez (RG), Evan Brown (C), Kelvin Beachum (SwT)

DE - Darrell Taylor (RDE), Golston, Lawson
DT - Byron Cowart, Solomon Thomas (3T), Johnathan Hankins (1T), Leki Fotu (1T)
LB - Jack Sanborn (SAM), EJ Speed (WILL), Anthony Walker Jr. (MLB), Kendricks (MLB)
CB - Lewis, Mukuamu, Oruwariye, Kristian Fulton, Emmanuel Moseley, Avonte Maddox, Asante Samuel Jr, Benjamin St-Juste
S - None

OL, DE, DT, LB and CB are positions I'd like to see filled in FA to some extent.

Draft is good for 2 RB, 2 DT, LB, S, WR, QB, TE, CB, S.
 
DE: Marshawn Kneeland and Sam Williams should be the focus of development at DE
but they'll need veteran presence to help them develop.

LB is probably the biggest need going into FA and draft.
OT/OG, CB, DL, and RB need to be addressed. in FA and draft

WR2 is a need. Ceedee can't do it all himself.

DE DeMarcus Lawrence - 2 years/$24M

DE Chauncey Golston - 3 years/$22

MLB Eric Kendricks - 1 year/$6.8M

RB Rico Dowdle - 1 year/$6.2M

DE Carl Lawson - 2 years/$7.5M

CB Jourdan Lewis - 2 years/$4.5MQ

DT Linval Joseph - 1 year/$2M

I would resign these with the Cap Room now ... a new contract on Parsons and look for another solid linebacker

They’ve proven over and over and over again that they can’t draft DT’s. So I would like to see DT addressed in FA. Allen is probably a pipe dream with this FO though.
Day 2 strong target at DT. Even taking the Texas DT.

Yes but they don't think they have any need to make a move that significant at DT. They just re-signed their stud Osa. They just need some depth pieces.

This is their mindset.
 
We’re not even sure if Guyton can play any OT spot yet.

If we can’t get Jeanty I’m trading back and hopefully snagging Golden.
Jeanty or Golden are my 2 most wanted (realistic) players I want in rd 1.

Something

Jeanty + Collins

Or

Golden + Henderson
 
My free agency plan would be:

Rb: sign a vet like A.Jones or jk dobbins.

Wr: I'm looking for a vet that still has something left like darius Slayton or dj chark.

Tackle: I'm trying to see if we can get something out of Wynn or rodunz.

G: I'd try to steal beckton 100% to weaken to eagles and strengten us, while also signing hernandez

DT: I'd pick up a vet like Javon kinlaw

De: if we spend money, bosa, if not Payton turner

Lb: if we spend money, Dre or Bolton, if not Sherrod or Barnes

Corner: henderson or Samuel
 
As I see it these are the positional needs.

RB - They need two. I would like to see Dowdle re-signed and another brought in.
TE - I could see taking one but the one thing Dak does well is make TE's look good. Ferguson and Schoon should be fine.
WR - They need a legit no 2. This is likely going to have to be a high draft pick or an expensive F.A.
QB - Should try to find someone to develop.
OT - They can make do with what they have but If they drafted a LT high, Moved Guyton to the right side and cut Steele I would consider that an upgrade.
OG - They could get by with what they have but I think I would move Beebee to RG and Hoffman to C.
C - I don't see this as a need at all. Hoffman to start if injury happens move Beebee back and put Bass at RG.

DE - major need and will require a high draft pick or expensive F.A.
DT - They need two. a 1 tech and a 3. Both are hard to find for this team. Expensive F.A. or early draft pick for the 3 tech and 1 tech they need to find a diamond in the rough.
LB - Oh Lord it looks bad currently. They need two. One needs to be a day one starter. Probably need to re-sign Kendricks and either hit on another in the draft or sign a F.A. Hope that Overshown is able to come back at some point.
CB - Much bigger need than I ever thought we could be looking at. It sounds like we are going to try to trade Diggs and hopefully re-sign Bland. They need to re-sign J-Lew as well and then Draft another early.
S - Dono and Hooker are getting up there but Thomas and Bell might be ready for extended roles. As much as I would like to see one of the many good safeties in this draft on the Cowboys there are just too many other needs.

IF I were GM this is the route I would go.

Get Micah signed long term and do the cap magic that creates more room for this year.
Give an Extension to Bland

Sign Landry at DE.
Sign Allen at DT
Re-sign Dowdle, J-Lewis, Kendricks, And See if D-law will sign a cheaper short term deal. 1 or two years.
Stick with Diggs one more year and see if he can get back to form.

Draft.
1. WR - Tet or Burden
2. DT - Alfred Collins
3. LB - Carter, Paul, Schwesinger, Stuttsman etc.

I would then Package a couple of 5th rd picks to move into the 4th

4. RB - Gordon etc.

With the remaining picks I would try to find those diamonds in the rough. Developmental QB, Maybe a corner, a safety etc.

This only requires a couple of outside free agent signings and would give me some hope.
you forgot the biggest need.

a new GM! nothing else matters
 
Absolute biggest need is LB! They need to pay Nick Bolton and draft a LB with the #12 pick. They can take a RB with #2 and a DT in the 3rd.
What LB is worth a 1st round draft pick at the position they are picking at? If they trade down because Jeanty is gone then I could see them grabbing Jihad Campbell at the 18-25 range. Beyond that this is not a great LB draft for blue chip players.

Free agency is the best bet for getting a LB who will be an immediate impact player.
