55 MINS AGO - Photo by Courtney Culbreath/Collegiate Images/Getty Images For a guy who likely won’t be available in the draft, Kyle Pitts has Cowboys Nation talking. Kyle Pitts is absolutely dominating Cowboys draft talk as of late. And for good reason, the 6’6, 240-lb 20-year-old completely dominated, torched and ran amok through opposing SEC defenses on his way to a unanimous All-American selection and the John Mackey award for the NCAA’s best tight end in 2020. The scout projections of the man are incredible. He’s drawn comparisons to some of the game’s greatest catching threats, including Megatron (Calvin Johnson) after the carnage he left in his wake during his junior season. He posted 43 receptions for 770 yards and a whopping 12 touchdowns. But those numbers probably don’t even do him justice. Pitts was designed for the football field, and has a rare mixture of size, agility, and hand-eye coordination (I’m talking like – footballs stick to his mitts like glue) that can pit him as Collapse

6 HRS AGO - Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports All the Cowboys news, at your front door. Pre-draft position preview: Antwaun Woods is dependable, but DT is far from Cowboys’ strength - David Moore, DMN The Cowboys know they have work still to do at defensive tackle. Position strengths It’s hard to find much. Youth? The Cowboys took Neville Gallimore in the third round last season and Trysten Hill in the second round the year before. There have been flashes of promise from both — flashes — but nothing sustained. If Hill builds on what he showed early last season before injury ended his season that’s a good sign. Antwaun Woods is dependable. Free agent signing Brent Urban does a good job of holding his own at the point of attack and should hope the team’s run defense. Position weaknesses The organization has been unwilling to invest any draft or significant free agent capital in the one-technique (nose tackle) tackle which is key to controlling the run. It shows. Serviceable players at this Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images We take a detailed look at the 2010, 2013, and 2016 drafts to figure out how serious the Cowboys are about drafting the Best Player Available. One of the biggest ironies of the NFL offseason is how the entire mock draft industry (and yes, it is an industry, people make real money with mock drafts) is built around the concept of drafting for need, yet every draftnik will insist teams must draft the best player available (BPA) or at least, in a minor concession to draft-day reality, the best player at position of need (BPAPON) or some similarly abbreviated derivative. Underlying the BPA approach is, of course, someone’s arbitrary ranking of who exactly those best players are. And draftniks will talk themselves into a holy furor if teams don’t draft the exact player the draftnik had ranked as the BPA. Yet all we can really ask of NFL teams is that they stay true to their own draft boards. Legend holds that those draft boards should be Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports Scarbrough was the Cowboys’ “Mr. Irrelevant” in 2018. April is one rambunctious time of the year for the NFL. Free agency – though it’s usually dwindled down in terms of hot topic temperature as most of the market’s bigger names have already found homes – remains a central focus as NFL teams strive to round out their rosters. Front-office management and team officials are furiously sharpening their coaching staffs as they construct a mental dream team of behind-the-scenes beings to lead the on-field regime. And draft talk continues to dominate most headlines, while budding NFL talent makes preparations for the ultimate life-changing moment: hearing their name called at the commissioner’s podium on draft night. As the long-awaited occasion looms and hypothetical speculation boils over, the football world can’t help but to fill some of the future’s uncertainty with memories of drafts from years past. Dallas is chock-full of unforgettable Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Photo by Chris Coduto/Getty Images It’s possible the Cowboys could sign K.J. Wright and Richard Sherman after April 27th. The Dallas Cowboys front office knows that the more picks you have, the more draft capital you have to move up for a player. Or they can stay put and draft multiple players in an effort to find players that can contribute in a multitude of ways on the team. So their strategy has been pretty simple: sign their own players, sign free agent players that aren’t going to break the bank but are valued by the team. While they do this, they allow their own former players they believe will command more money to test the market, and if another teams signs them they know that some will bring compensatory picks next season as long as they stick to their plan. Courtesy of Spotrac.com The compensatory pick deadline is April 27, meaning they can sign anyone after that date and it won’t affect the compensatory formula. And if we look at what they’ve done so Collapse

3 DAYS AGO - Could the Cowboys trade down in round one for the first time since 2013? Under Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys trading down in the first round has been virtually nonexistent. Since 2007, Dallas has opted to move their selection down in round one just once. This happened back in 2013 when the Cowboys sent the 18th overall pick to the San Francisco 49ers for pick 31 and a third-round selection. For Dallas, this unusual trade back actually worked out very well. Despite moving back 13 spots, the Cowboys were able to select center Travis Frederick in round one. Frederick went on to become a five-time Pro Bowler during his six-year career. Dallas also used the extra third-round selection on Baylor wide receiver Terrance Williams. The wideout also played six years in Dallas, posting some solid production. Williams totaled 500 plus receiving yards in five of his six seasons in the NFL. Although it worked out for the Cowboys in 2013, for the most part, Dallas has been uninterested in moving Collapse

3 DAYS AGO - Richie Grant is one name that is often mentioned for Dallas. | Photo by Don Juan Moore/Getty Images The Cowboys news is always a hot topic. Dallas Cowboys draft debate between Richie Grant and Jamar Johnson - Mike Crum, Cowboys WireIt looks like the Cowboys might finally be putting some emphasis on safety, and there are a couple of names to watch on Day 2 of the draft. Going over tape on Jamar Johnson and Richie Grant feels like deja vu. Both players project best at FS, but have versatility to play in the slot occasionally in the right match ups, they both have the size to be in the box at times. They both offer excellent ball production and have weaknesses tackling. Even production wise Grant in his first two years as a starter had four forced fumbles, seven tackles for a loss and seven interceptions. Johnson in his first two years as a started had two forced fumbles,7.5 tackles for a loss and six interceptions. The two prospects are very similar, the difference is Johnson Collapse
