Cowboys have crucial decisions to make; trade, stay put, or bail?
The Cowboys have the ammo to move, but is that in their best interest?
The Dallas Cowboys have their way of doing things when it comes to team building. They aren’t going to spend money on big impact free agents, and they choose to build with a draft-and-develop strategy, signing bargain free agents and making smart trades for veterans. It hasn’t led to championship rosters, but it isn’t changing anytime soon with Jerry and Stephen Jones in charge.
Dallas has to take that into account as the draft approaches. The picks they make could depend on factors other than who the best player is when they are picking . Attempts to move up or back, which positions they target, and when, could all be dictated by factors beyond who is the best player left on their board.
Corners who could start as rookies stretch further than other defensive positions When the Cowboys select at No. 12, a tie-breaking factor in their decision-making could be position depth at their need positions. At No.
92, drafted cornerbacks have a higher probability to start than defensive ends and pass rushers. Players like Texas corner Malik Muhammad or Duke's Chandler Rivers could be starters as rookies, and they could be the pick at 92. Linebacker depth guys who need to develop and situational defensive ends were the options at those positions.
