Cowboys eye freakish DT, physical CB, RB of future in PFF’s 4-round mock

Mazi Smith, Eli Ricks, and Zach Evans are among the names to know before the NFL scouting combine; all could give the Cowboys a boost. | From @ToddBrock24f7

The Cowboys’ areas of need are no real surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention. But the way in which the front office will choose to address those needs (and their order of importance) is, of course, up for great debate this time of year.

There are decisions to be made with a slew of the team’s own free agents, and there will be other teams’ castoffs that warrant at least a discussion about their potential fit in Dallas.

But the Joneses love to build primarily through the draft, relying on young and inexpensive collegiate talent for their main influx of new personnel.

PFF‘s John Owning has sifted through through this year’s class to identify the first four picks that make the most sense for Dallas in 2023.
