DALLAS, Texas (PSF)– We are now less than a month away from the 2023 NFL Draft in Kansas City, Missouri.
The Dallas Cowboys sit with the 26th pick in the draft, and Cowboys fans are more anticipated for this year’s draft than in years past, thanks to the aggressiveness that Jerry and Stephen Jones made this offseason so far.
The additions that they made this offseason so far are:
Franchise Tagged: Tony Pollard
Re-Signed: Donovan Wilson, Leighton Vander Esch, Cooper Rush, CJ Goodwin, Chuma Edoga, Ronald Jones, Dante Fowler, Johnathan Hankins, Tristan Vizcaino, Malik Jefferson, Issacc Alarcon, Seth Green
Acquired Via Trade: Stephon Gilmore, Brandin Cooks
Gone: Connor McGovern (Buffalo Bills), Luke Gifford (Tennesee Titans), Noah Brown (Houston Texans), Dalton Shultz (Houston Texans), Jake McQuaide (Detroit Lions). Carlos Watkins (Arizona Cardinals)
Released: Ezekiel Elliott
Dallas looks to beef up their offensive line and the interior-defensive side of the ball through the draft.
Many mock drafts have Dallas taking Texas runningback, Bijan Robinson, but Dallas could get a runningback in later rounds to accommodate Tony Pollard. Mock drafts also had Dallas taking guard Steve Avila out of Northwestern.
It’s always interesting to see the top 30 visits each team has because it can give you a general idea of who your team might draft.
