Well here we are at St. Patrick's Day and surprisingly Cowboys have had a decent week even if they haven't signed an outside free agent or made the "BIG MOVE".

Resigning Wilson S, LVE LB, Rush QB, and Goodwin ST, then franchising Pollard RB were good moves and we should expect resigning of Fowler Edge, Hankins DT and Watkins DT along with McQuaide LS coming up soon. Then the trade for Gilmore CB was great to pair with Diggs. So the defense is much better although another LB and better NT would be helpful. Could see us try to sign Greg Gaines NT to a 1 year deal.

The offense with the release of Zeke still needs help at LG, RB, and especially a speed WR.

IMO, we could see Dallas make a run at Dalton Risner LG, Damien Harris or Kareem Hunt RB but only true really good WR is OBJ and his price tag is out of line. We could try to trade of Jerry Jeudy WR Denver but current price tag way to high or wait until Hopkins is released by Arizona where Cardinals would get $19 million cap space with a June 1st release.

Going into the draft currently, see offensive play makers as the most pressing assuming we sign Risner at LG.
26. Trade, Dallas moves down 3 spots with the Saints - 26,58,176 for 29,40

29. Jahmyr Gibbs RB Alabama - provides a great two back offensive with Pollard and if don't be surprised to see Dallas sign Zeke back at $3 million on 1 year in June who is an excellent pass blocker and short yardage guy. Gibbs should remind fans of a young Barry Sanders coming out of college.

40. Darnell Washington TE Georgia - IMO, will be the best of the TE bunch, he is the next Gronk, huge target, good blocker, great hands and will make the 3 TE sets a fun thing to watch with Dallas. Great red zone target at 6'7" 270 lb.

90. Andre Carter DE Army - all over the place on draft boards, believes he is there in 3rd, will need some time to develop but as a situational pass rusher at DE or OLB should help Dallas right away and develop into a full time starter or rotation piece with Lawrence, high ceiling, high upside

129. Jonathan Mingo WR - has the size and decent speed with excellent hands but needs to run routes better. See Dallas signing Hopkins once released so drafting a WR might be the embarrassment of goods and go a different direction like CB

OR

129. Jaylon Jones CB Texas A&M - great size, good speed, long arms, great ST player where he will 1st be used.

163. Andrew Vorhees OG USC - underrated OG prospect with position flex, suffered a knee injury at combine so falls in the draft but very capable as starting OG or swing OG. They have time to wait on him if they sign Risner to a short term deal at LG.

212. Max Duggan QB TCU - has the attitude, leadership and grit, a perfect guy for McCarthy to tutor

246. Isaiah Land Edge Florida A&M - definitely a project but one helluva pass rusher, could be used in situations where it helps free up Parsons on rush downs.

Roster:
QB - Prescott, Rush ----- Duggan of PS
RB - Pollard, Harris, Gibbs
WR - Lamb, Gallup, Hopkins, Tolbert, Turpin, Houston
TE - Washington, Ferguson, Hendershot, McKeon
OT - Smith, Smith, Steele, Waletzko
OG - Martin, Risner, Farniok, Alarcon .....Vorhees IR
OC - Biadasz

DT - Gaines, Hankins, Gallimore, Osi, Bohanna
DE - Lawrence, Williams, Armstrong, Fowler, Carter ..... Land PS
LB - Parsons, LVE, Clark, Cox, Harper
CB - Diggs, Gilmore, Joseph, Goodwin, Wright, Jones
S - Kearse, Hooker, Wilson, Bell, Mukuamu

ST - McQuaide, Anger, K

Your draft does make sense however the history of small running backs is not very productive nor long lasting Gibbs could be the exception. Your guard selection alone but he’s not an athlete so he’s not gonna be moving around in zone block well. I do like your draft but I would take a second running back
