There are still plenty of boxes to check between now and the 2024 NFL Draft weekend in April. But one of the early milestones in the process will happen this weekend and next week, as the Cowboys attend an upcoming prospect showcase.
The annual Senior Bowl will once again be held in Mobile, Alabama. Practice will be held throughout the week starting January 29th, with the game scheduled for February 3rd. Also that week, east and west temple bowl Moved to Frisco. The game will be played on Thursday, February 1st at the Ford Center.
Before things start in earnest, here are the top three needs for the Dallas Cowboys going into the spring schedule.
- No.3 – Offensive line – At this point in the process, the offense has two free agents, with Tyron Smith and Tyler Biadasz both scheduled to hit the open market in free agency. With question marks surrounding the futures of both players, it's safe to say Dallas should prepare for some moves. That means considering a deep center and offensive tackle in the draft to strengthen the front line.
- No.2 – Defensive Tackle – Like the offensive line, there are questions about Jonathan Hankins, the only run-chopping defensive tackle Dallas has had the past two seasons. Hankins has made it clear he wants to stay in Dallas, but he would also be wise to build with him. Hankins could return to an even bigger defensive end as Dallas pursues young defensive tackles like JaeZean Newton (Illinois), Byron Murphy II (Texas) and Tyvondre Sweat (Texas) .
- No. 1 – Linebacker – There was only one true linebacker on the final active roster at the end of the season. Damone Clark and Marcquez Bell did their best to fill the gaping hole left by losing Leighton Vander Esch midway through the season, but both players played out of position, which led to It showed that. It's time for Dallas to invest in the linebacker position again this offseason, and they will have a legitimate opportunity to do so with a deep class at the position.
