If the Dallas Cowboys had to field a roster right now, would they even have a complete team?
As we gear up for the 2024 NFL Draft, one of the key exercises is to see where the holes are on the current Cowboys roster. So using only current talent, we’re going to try to put together a 53-man projection. This is one of the clearest ways to identify how Dallas will prioritize its draft selections this week.
This is especially intriguing right now given the mass exodus of players this offseason with few replacements. Gone are Tyron Smith, Stephon Gilmore, Tyler Biadasz, Tony Pollard, Leighton Vander Esch, Michael Gallup, Jayron Kearse, Dorance Armstrong, Dante Fowler, and others who’d have probably made the team this August. So far, Dallas has only retained a few of last year’s free agents while adding two external free agents; a major disparity in departures over arrivals/keepers.
