The Dallas Cowboys are not that far away from competing for a playoff berth, despite how horrible their 2020 season was. Injuries were catastrophic and the defense was led by an inept effort. I’m not saying Mike Nolan was inept as a defensive coordinator, though I was against the hire from the jump. But the effort that was put into the season, with all things considered was unacceptable. Trying to fit square pegs in round holes with no offseason made little sense and refusing to adjust was frustrating to say the least.
But that’s all in the past. What matters is improving for the 2021 season, and that will take improved personnel on both sides of the ball. Assuming the Cowboys will have Dak Prescott for at least one more season, we’ll keep quarterback off the table in this discussion. But where else will Dallas need to improve the roster? Here’s where.
