The Dallas Cowboys have addressed several short-term needs, but there are always two goals in roster construction. Getting right for the 2023 season is first and foremost, and with the franchise tag placed on Tony Pollard followed by the trades for Stephon Gilmore and Brandin Cooks, Dallas has done that.
Those moves are one-year rentals though, although Cooks conceivably could stick around for the second year of his contract. Other moves made in between, re-signing Leighton Vander Esch and more importantly Donovan Wilson, deal with both the short-term and bigger picture. To truly address future needs though, the draft is the avenue the Cowboys will travel.
