Time for the annual laundry refresh in Dallas, with the offseason’s newest additions to the team getting their jersey assignments just ahead of the draft. Today’s headlines are topped by a new No. 1, as well as a new No. 2 and unfamiliar faces repping the digits once worn by Trevon Diggs, Herschel Walker, Ed “Too Tall” Jones, and DeMarcus Lawrence. The Cowboys may not be done adding to the roster, of course, with whispers still rumbling about dealing for Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II… and could running back Jaydon Blue be on the trading block after just one lackluster season?
Brian Schottenheimer reveals how he’s approaching his second draft differently, there’s a wide receiver prospect you likely haven’t heard of who’s suddenly getting a lot of buzz, and just how will the recent revelations surrounding Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain affect his draft stock and ranking on the Cowboys’ big board? You might be surprised.
Elsewhere in draft news, Notre Dame’s head coach makes the case for his star running back to be among the earliest picks on Thursday night… by suggesting he could also play wide receiver at an elite level. And there will be 32 first-round picks… but how many of them are actually first-round talents? A deep dive suggests no more than 20, which may make the Cowboys’ current drafting spots even more valuable.
Around the league, longtime Cowboys foe Zach Ertz says he doesn’t want his ACL injury to be the final play of his NFL career; would the Eagles bring him back so he can put his name in the franchise record books? The Patriots claim head coach Mike Vrabel is conducting a business-as-usual week of draft prep amid sticky allegations of an affair with a notable NFL insider, and the Arizona Cardinals have announced the passing of former head coach Dave McGinnis.
