Brian Schottenheimer’s first season as head coach ended with a losing record, but there were a lot of great moments. Those moments were usually headlined by Dallas’ high-powered offense with Dak Prescott, Javonte Williams, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens.

The players added on the defensive side of the ball in Rashan Gary, Caleb Downs, Jalen Thompson, P.J. Locke, and Malachi Lawrence will help execute Christian Parker’s vision. Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams have their first full offseason with the Cowboys. A lot will be riding on their success this year.

Before camp gets kicked off in just a few days, here is the current power ranking of the Top 60 Cowboys on the roster.

Tier 1: All-Pro caliber players

1. Tyler Smith

I just know Dak is #11 on your list.

They pretty much lost me having Steele ranked #18 over Beebe

If steel is the 18th best player on your roster it’s a bad sign.

Ferg at 12 is a pretty generous ranking as well.

Steele being 18 on any roster is like 5 day old sushi as your best lunch option.

Be honest. You posted this solely because the staff denied your entry into the CowboysZone witness protection program, right?

17 probowl level players, why can’t we get out of the divisional round lmao

I mean you could also say if Bland is your 17th best player that’s a great sign. He was a all pro just a few years ago.

Yep, great call.
And remember they set the all time seasonal team record for All Pros in a season too a few years back with like 13 IIRC.

Then they promptly got prison raped 48 to 16, er.... 32, at home come playoff time.

Cowboys!
LOL

This list evidently is in 2026 AD.







After Dakota

Bbbbbbbbbbbecause Pollard got injured.

Ehhh I’m not sure about that. Even as someone who is fairly bullish on a bland rebound we still have to acknowledge that he’s a major injury risk with multiple surgeries on that foot that keeps having issues.

He a massive could go either way type of player. Not a bad thing to have on the roster, but you’d like to have a player like that not be your 15th best non specialist.

Really a good chunk of that tier are injury or rebound candidates….overshown, bland, Ferg, Hooker. It’s a lot of question marks at the middle part of this starting roster.

I think that’s every team though. 49ers top 5 guys are Warner and McCaffery. Can’t say I’d be confident in them.

How can they do a roster power ranking when the rookies haven't even taken a preseason snap yet?

I mean we all want Caleb Downs as a top ten player on this list but what evidence is there to put him there? This article has him 11th, by the way.

[TwentyOne]

So Aubrey is not worth mentioning to you ?

But #41 with two sacks as a pass rush specialist is better than Clark and Bland.

mhmm mhmm mhmm......
