Why
Dallas Cowboys start at cornerback, where the secondary needs a dependable starter who can hold his coverage without constant help. Wide receiver comes next, giving the passing game a clear downfield option, and running back after that, a back who produces on short downs and in the ground series.

How he drafts
Track record read
The Cowboys, under Jerry Jones, consistently demonstrate a first-round predilection for investing heavily in the trenches, whether it's offensive tackles with impressive physical traits like Tyler Guyton or defensive tackles with high floors like Mazi Smith. Their focus on athletic defensive linemen, particularly edge rushers, is also notable, often sourcing talent from Power Five programs but unafraid to target promising players from non-elite schools such as Western Michigan. The pattern suggests a pursuit of high-ceiling talent, prioritizing athleticism and size at key positions.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Georgia
CBThe press-man boundary CB Dallas desperately needs outside. He lacks bulk for run support, but elite ball production buys plenty of patience.
Ohio State
WRThe physical 'X' receiver to pull double teams off CeeDee outside; superstar ceiling once he sharpens his intermediate breaks.
Florida
RBBrings the between-the-tackles violence Dallas desperately needs in the backfield. Plug-and-play early-down starter; lateral agility caps the ceiling.
Second round
3 names
South Carolina
CBBrings Dallas the lateral twitch they miss outside. High floor as a returner, but SEC double moves still burn him.
Texas A&M
WRPure slot juice to take quick-game pressure off CeeDee. Tiny catch radius, but the open-field YAC pays off right away.
Ole Miss
RBBrings the home-run juice Dallas’ backfield has lacked for years. One-year sample, but the burst in zone translates immediately.
Third round
3 names
Michigan State
CBQuick eyes and boundary range for Dallas' zone rotation. Clean bet: proven instincts, but desperately needs mass to hold up outside.
Oklahoma
WRChain-mover from day one to complement Lamb. High-floor WR3 with reliable hands, even if he won't stretch the field.
Louisville
RBInjects the home-run juice Dallas' backfield lacks; not built for twenty touches yet, but he erases pursuit angles instantly.
