After a disappointing 7-10 season, the Dallas Cowboys made coaching changes with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer taking over as head coach and Matt Eberflus as defensive coordinator. Quarterback Dak Prescott is expected to be fully recovered from injury, while the team retained star wideout CeeDee Lamb and solid offensive linemen Cooper Beebe and Tyler Smith. On defense, additions like Dante Fowler Jr. and veteran defenders were made in free agency.
Armed with 10 draft picks, the Cowboys addressed needs by selecting a wide receiver in the first round, a top running back prospect in the second round, and a nickel cornerback to fill a gap left by free agency. They also added depth at edge rusher and a tight end option in later rounds. The team aimed to bolster offensive line depth and running back options to complement their existing roster for the upcoming season.
