3-Round mock draft brings Cowboys weaponry, defense system upgrades

With free agency on the doorstep and the Cowboys looking to fill multiple needs, what could their draft strategy look like?

Dallas Cowboys fans rejoiced this week as franchise quarterback Dak Prescott was signed to a four-year deal worth up to $164 million. Locking in Prescott allows the teams to silence questions regarding his future and focus on free agency and the draft. The team has worked on clearing cap space this week, both with avoiding a second Prescott franchise tag and the restructuring of highly-paid players.

These moves will allow the Cowboys to be a buyer in a loaded free-agent market. The team has quite a few holes to fill, especially on the defensive side of the ball and there are plenty of free agents who could help accomplish that goal but this coming draft is lining up well with the glaring needs the team has. Here’s a potential three-round mock scenario for the Cowboys front office using the Pro Football Network Mock Draft Simulator.
