Cowboys Headlines: Plans for Pickens, CB injury updates among news from league meetings

The start of the league's annual meetings gave Cowboys media members brief but valuable access to both head coach Brian Schottenheimer and executive vice president Stephen Jones, resulting in a torrent of updates on some of the most pressing issues within Cowboys Nation. While George Pickens definitely remains in the team's future plans, it's unclear if the wide receiver will participate in much of anything until his contract is figured out, repeating a familiar tune over recent years in Dallas. Looking at some of last season's trouble spots, there's good news at cornerback, as both DaRon Bland and Shavon Revel got positive reviews as they work their way back from injury...

and the need at linebacker is fully recognized, though how the team plans to address it could come in various ways. And Dak Prescott has had a tumultuous offseason; his head coach gave an update on how the QB holding up as he works through some personal struggles. Elsewhere, highly-touted CB Avieon Terrell suffered a hamstring injury as he worked out for teams Monday; how might that change his standing on Dallas's big draft board?

It doesn't change a thing in our latest mock, where the Cowboys walk out of the first round with Caleb Downs, All-Pro middle linebacker Jordyn Brooks, and a top-tier edge rusher to boot. All that, plus a member of the 1992 team is lost too soon, and a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader... dating a divisional foe?!?

The league meetings offered a peek into several other camps, too. The Eagles are sticking to the party line- for now- on wide receiver A. J.
