What are the most important positions to add to this team?

Teams have wanted Sam Bradford, Wentz over and over, etc etc. Don’t be naïve
I didn't say NO team would want him. I said THEY wouldn't want him.
Not everyone wanted Bradford or Wentz. I wish we could fine a team stupid, I mean, desperate enough to take Dak off our hands. But Tennessee has Malik Willis and Miami has given up too many picks and doesn't have a number 1 in the upcoming draft.
Now if you're talking about a team giving up a 5th round pick for Dak, all bets are off.
But a first?
From Tennessee or Miami?
I don't think so.

What do they expect to actually accomplish with a few drafted players? We can continue to build, but next year won't look much different than this year.
13 wins. I would take that in a heartbeat.

So we are stuck with both Dak and Zeke. Dak for 2 and Zeke for one more year. Continue to build the Oline and Dline. What are the most important positions to add to this team?
Why are they stuck with Zeke? It's a net gain to move on from him. And yes, they need to focus on getting better up front. They don't have an elite QB who can compensate for much less than ideal across the roster.

The years of an easy East are over. If Washington gets the QB situation figured out, it'll really be competitive. So, cruising to easy wins and getting a false sense of accomplishment while securing a playoff spot is out the window.

Buckle up for rough times on Air Dakota. Doesn't handle headwinds well.

I would call Miami and Tennessee and see if they want Dak. Yes I know about the no trade clause but those are good fits that maybe he would wave the clause
Excellent idea. That's what I've been saying. Put together a deal and try to get Prescott to waive the No Trade clause.

All that does is get you to the playoffs. The last two seasons were the worst 12 win teams in Cowboys history.
I know we're all frustrated, but we beat some quality teams this season. To say they were one of the worst 12 win teams in franchise history is a stretch.

It's not a stretch at all. Keep in mind I am comparing it to all other 12 or more win seasons. In every other year the Cowboys won 12 or more games I thought we had a legit shot at going to the SB. Not in the last two years.

Everyone was so proud of whipping up on a 8-9 team. All that showed was that when the rubber meats the road against the top teams we choke.

Defense heavy draft. LB, DT, CB, Safety and a Kicker thrown in. Maybe an Offensive Lineman for the offense.
This is what I think, and maybe add an OL so our run game can get better, since that's what we need to lean on in order for Dak to succeed.

Why are we stuck with Zeke? He had 800ish yards and 3.8 this year. Under 60 a yards a game. Cut/trade his vastly overpaid butt and draft a RB who can replace that production on a rookie deal.

A difference maker at RB. Pollard just proved that he's not an every down back. He can't carry the load especially for the entire season.
Best season for Dak was when he had a GREAT running game.
This offense with ball controlled running under Cooper Rush was 4-1 so back to power running mixed with Dak will work.

Our coaches got stupid and forgotten the winning formula. Even when we are behind we needed to keep running the ball.
