After months of preperation and projection, just like that, the 2021 NFL draft is over. The Dallas Cowboys, shockingly, made 11 picks and are poised to add an additional 13 undrafted free agents if things go according to plan. That’s quite a haul for a team looking to add talent after a disappointing season.
With the draft now over, the Cowboys shouldn’t stop their pursuit of getting better. There are veteran players still available who can help Dallas in their championship aspirations. The Cowboys didn’t fill all their holes in the draft and even if they did address their positions of need, there are more experienced options out there.
The Cowboys are one of the teams who prefers to wait on signing some veterans until after it doesn’t affect their compensatory pick formula, a period that ends on May 3. While money is tight without working some restructure triggers or release some fringe veterans, expect Dallas to take another look at a few free agents who haven’t yet been signed.
