Cowboys Mock Draft: Finding Prescott’s successor, refreshing OL, LB, RB

In our latest mock draft, several trades put Dallas in a position to nab the heir apparent while also selecting a couple big-time program duos. | From @KDDrummondNFL

The biggest decision the Dallas Cowboys have to make this offeason is just how much they want to tie the foreseeable future to quarterback Dak Prescott. With eight seasons under his belt, Prescott is reaching the point of his career where the lack of playoff success for the organization has become a part of his personal narrative. Whether or not the club believes they can win with him directing the pirate ship or not, leads them to six options.

Only one option with Prescott, although it is by far the most likely conclusion, results in Dallas not drafting a successor in the next two drafts. That’s a multi-year extension. So in that vein, and knowing we have a dozen mocks to play with between now and the actual draft, playing out that scenario and seeing what the entire haul would look like is going to be our focus.

In this iteration, Dallas accepts a trade-back offer to ensure they have the same number of top-100 picks going to their other needs as well as a franchise QB successor.
