As was said many times leading up to the draft, it was going to be nearly impossible for the Cowboys to address every need in the 2022 exercise. Free agency left too many holes to be filled by the club’s three top-100 selections. While the team did extremely well in Day 3 selections, the truth is it’s very hard to find multiple long-term contributors from those picks.
So when it comes to spinning things forward, those along with UDFA finds aren’t going to be enough to move the needle. Observers should assume Dallas will still need to address some of those positions while hoping for a diamond in the rough to emerge. After months of speculation, feeling a sense of draft prep withdrawal? Have no fear. These outlets have published 2023 first-round mocks to give readers a chance to get an early jump on who the best of the next set of prospects appear to be.
Of course, the 2023 season will change the outlook on these guys, but it’s still fun to create a watchlist and see how the Cowboys new roster is being evaluated.
