Texas star Anthony Hill all but gives Cowboys the green light to draft him – Jason Kandel, The Landry Hat Could Anthony Hill Jr. be paired with DeMarvion Overshown?

Cowboys should draft this turnover machine

The Dallas Cowboys’ defense has a need. A need for speed. And there is no bigger need for fast players than at the linebacker position. The team has attempted to get by with some veteran players, such as Eric Kendricks and Kenneth Murray Jr., in recent seasons while younger players continue to develop, but they […]

ESPN mock draft connects popular name to Dallas Cowboys

Given that the Dallas Cowboys’ first pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft is number 12 overall, there is a finite number of conceivable permutations that make sense. It is the NFL draft and anything can happen, but you get the point. We have a pretty solid idea of the types of […]

Cowboys survey: What the draft priority should be

We are definitely in the dead zone between the action of free agency, and the upcoming NFL draft. Teams are still signing players, but many of these transactions will just be camp bodies to make up the 90-man roster with a slight chance to catch on because of special teams. The Cowboys seem to be […]

Fourth-round draft prospects who can really help Dallas

Pick number 112 is not where the Cowboys need to chase a vanity pick, and it’s nice the team has a fourth round pick to play with. It is where they need to find a player with a real job. Dallas now owns eight picks, including number 92 in the third round and number 112 […]

How Cowboys’ last 3 drafts are hurting the roster

One traditional draft mantra holds that you cannot really judge a draft until three or four years have gone by. But what if there was a way to do it much quicker? What you’d probably need is to establish some kind of expectation for each draft pick and then measure that draft pick against that […]

Cowboys news: Brian Schottenheimer talks NFL draft strategy

Cowboys set up to ‘draft natural, draft pure’ – Tommy Yarrish, DallasCowboys.com The Dallas Cowboys made a few moves in free agency that shouldn’t pigeonhole them into one specific area. With two first round picks in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, Schottenheimer and the Cowboys understand the importance of getting the picks right. At the […]

Cowboys could really elevate secondary in the draft

The cornerback room of the Dallas Cowboys looks a bit like a jigsaw puzzle with a few critical pieces lost under the sofa. While DaRon Bland remains a solid piece when his foot is not giving him trouble, younger guys like Shavon Revel Jr. and Caelen Carson have yet to take a step in the right […]

Why the Cowboys should stay patient with George Pickens’ contract

The Dallas Cowboys find themselves in an interesting situation with wide receiver George Pickens. The front office came out looking like geniuses after they traded away a third-round pick for a pass catcher who just reeled off over 1,400 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. It was sheer brilliance, but now the team must figure out […]

Dallas Cowboys mock draft: 7 rounds to build the perfect defensive beast

When you, as an NFL team, book a 7-9-1 record, and you miss your second straight postseason with a defense that is the NFL’s worst, and couldn’t bust a grape in a winery… well, it’s pretty clear what change needs to be made. For the fourth straight season, the Dallas Cowboys have a new defensive […]

Cowboys news: All options on table to fix defensive holes

Cowboys Linked to 2 Linebackers: Who is the Best Fit? – Cody Warren, Inside The Star The middle of the Cowboys defense at linebacker very much feels like a position they should add to before the draft, if they can. That will matter more now because Christian Parker is trying to build something new, and Dallas […]

Cowboys can fix pass rush with a certain top prospect

The Dallas Cowboys are currently hunting for anyone who can reliably chase after the quarterback. While second-year player Donovan Ezeiruakuk is developing, and the recent trade for Rashan Gary added some serious muscle to the front, the cupboard still feels a bit bare for a team with great defensive aspirations. The front office knows they […]

The real reason the Cowboys signed QB Sam Howell

Last week, the Cowboys made a perceived upgrade to their quarterback room by signing veteran Sam Howell and releasing Will Grier. Many have wondered if this is a sign of waning confidence in Joe Milton III’s development, but we’re going to look at it from a different angle. Given Dak Prescott’s injury history since 2020, […]

BTB Monday Discussion: Would a veteran linebacker trade complete things?

Before the weekend broke things got rather exciting around the water cooler of Cowboys Nation when Nick Harris reported that the Cowboys are interested in Azeez Al-Shaair and/or Jordyn Brooks as fixes for the linebacker position. Looking at the offseason overall to date there is no doubt that the Cowboys still need serious help at […]

The Seahawks just made the George Pickens situation more complicated

Imagine a world where your favorite NFL team gets things done as efficiently and, arguably more importantly, as quietly as possible. In this world you may even be the reigning Super Bowl Champions. You may have cooled off on celebrating after a month and a half and decided that more work needed to be done. […]

Cowboys mock draft tracker: A trade might make sense early

The consensus big board at NFLMockDraftDatabase.com has the following players ranked as the top defenders in the draft. For the Cowboys, these are the ‘Big 6’ – if any one of them fall to No. 12, the Cowboys need to make that player their pick. And if the Big 6 are all gone, should the […]

The Cowboys are making a mistake with this move

With the hiring of Christian Parker as defensive coordinator, the Cowboys are ushering in a new era defensively. With Parker’s arrival, the Cowboys are now transitioning from a 4-3 to a 3-4 base defense. We’ve already seen changes take place with the Cowboys trading away Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers. Odighizuwa, a penetrating […]

If Cowboys trade George Pickens, these 8 teams make sense

The recent blockbuster trade that sent wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos may or may not have set the trade value for Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens. His future beyond the 2026 season is currently hanging in limbo with little to no contract talks, making a potential trade still a possibility. The Broncos […]

An offer the Cowboys can’t refuse during the draft

The linebacker room of the Dallas Cowboys feels like a game of musical chairs where half the chairs are missing legs. While the team has some young, recent high draft picks like DeMarvion Overshown and Marist Liufau on the roster, health or development has kept them from reaching their true upside. Add in the fact […]

Cowboys do not need to force this particular position in the draft

There has been quite a bit of talk regarding CJ Allen’s workout at the Georgia pro day. After not working out at the scouting combine earlier this month, Allen elected to do positional drills, but no athletic testing at the Georgia pro day earlier this week. Despite impressing on tape in 2025, short clips of […]

Cowboys could be slow-playing free agency for one specific reason

After some moderate activity in the first few days of free agency, the Cowboys have been pretty quiet. And it’s not like the Cowboys have filled all their roster holes, far from it. Bob Sturm recently opined that the reason the Cowboys are so bad at free agency is that they set valuations on players, […]
