The Dallas Cowboys are going back to the drawing board after an early exit in the playoffs courtesy of the Green Bay Packers. The team is fairly complete but a few tweaks are needed here and there. There is some speculation those tweaks could be to the coaching staff, with Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels possibly teaming up in Dallas. The tweaks to the roster will have to come by way of the draft, with the team currently $14 million over the cap. Cap casualties — like Brandin Cooks and Cooper Rush — will lead to roster spots that need to be filled. Even with some creative moves (restructuring Dak, Dexter Lawrence, and giving a fat contract to CeeDee Lamb), they won't have the space to resign Tyron Smith, leaving the biggest offseason hole on the blind side of the quarterback. The Cowboys currently have seven picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, and there will be no trades in this mock. Jerry Jones is one of the best drafting general managers in the game, and there's no doubt he will make selections that will contribute right away. He will also draft players that may not play a role in 2024 but will in years to come.
