FRISCO – The Dallas Cowboys have been labeled as a non-winner this offseason, with losses piling up despite few replacements.
As the 2024 NFL Draft, which begins April 25 in Detroit, inches closer, the Cowboys and owner/general manager Jerry Jones will evaluate players who could help Dallas get through the playoff hump. We are working hard to achieve this goal.

NFL.com proposed a five-round mock draft that would fill key holes on the roster.
Round 1, Pick 24: Dallas Cowboys – Jonathan Brooks, RB, Texas Longhorns
“Brooks' story (and game) reminds me of Todd Gurley, who injured his ACL in November of his final season at Georgia and ended up being a top-10 pick the following April. Despite the injury, Gurley carried the ball 1,265 times and caught 218 passes in his first five pro seasons. Dallas could consider Brooks a workhorse of its kind thanks to his combination of power and agility. ”
Round 2, Pick 56: Dallas Cowboys – Brandon Coleman, OG, TCU Horned Frogs
Coleman is a third-year starter and was named team captain last season. Draft experts say he will be drafted as a guard, but could play tackle in an emergency.
Round 3, Pick 87: Dallas Cowboys – Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia Mountaineers
NFL.com believes Frazier's short arms could cause problems at the next level, but also notes that his lower body strength may compensate. He is projected to be a depth pick, but if his hand skills improve he could be a starter.
Round 5, Pick 174: Dallas Cowboys – Josh Newton, CB, TCU Horned Frogs
Draft experts say Newton can play inside or outside, giving him the versatility that Mike Zimmer likes at corner, and is also good in run support.
Dallas' 2024 Draft Picks: The Cowboys hold original picks in the first, second, third and seventh rounds. They sent their original fourth-round pick to the Chiefs for a 2023 sixth-round pick, and sent a 2024 sixth-round pick and a 2023 fifth-round pick to the Texans for Brandin Cooks. Obtained.
The Cowboys have two compensatory picks in the fifth and sixth rounds, as Connor McGovern's departure gave Dallas the 174th pick and Dalton Schultz acquired the 216th pick. .
