Cowboys draft: 3 hypothetical first-round trade scenarios for Dallas

The Dallas Cowboys could be leaning heavily on the NFL Draft if that’s where owner Jerry Jones wants to focus his “all-in” approach. The team approach for free agency is how it’s always been—modest, with some tier-two players sprinkled in.

The 2023 class has been criticized for not meeting expectations as rookies, and the first three picks (Mazi Smith, Luke Schoonmaker, and DeMarvion Overshown) will now be recovering from surgeries before training camp. That means the Cowboys would have more pressure to hit grand slams with Will McClay and the scouts in the batter’s box.
