There are a number of expiring contracts for the Dallas Cowboys this offseason and unless a fair amount of players are willing to take a hometown discount, those losses will need to be addressed via either unrestricted free agency or the NFL draft. Knowing this club’s allergy to signing big-name free agents, the draft will always be their most-used method of snagging elite talent. The Cowboys have been lucky with two of their more recent WR selections in the NFL Draft. Michael Gallup has more than exceeded his draft pick which was 81st overall, and nobody expected CeeDee Lamb to slip to No. 17 overall in the 2020 draft.
Gallup’s injury may have dampened his free agency prospects, but it also makes him an unknown were he even to return. This year’s draft is riddled with talented replacement options. What if one of the top players falls into the Cowboys laps? Will they draft a more pressing need or will they take the best player available like with Lamb? Arkansas’ Treylon Burks could be a fantastic fit in Kellen Moore’s offense.
