Just throw every draft pick on defense. This feels like a fair mentality for the Dallas Cowboys relative to the upcoming NFL draft. We all saw what happened in 2025 and nobody has any desire to see it repeat itself ever again. The defense was dreadful.
Part of the reason for this conclusion though is that the Cowboys’ offense was spectacular in 2025. It wasn’t spectacular enough to carry the dreadful defense which is why we have said everything that we have so far here, but it is hard to find any warts on the offense is the point.

There is a sneaky need at one offensive position
There is always debate around the quarterback play for the Dallas Cowboys, but I think we can all accept that the team is set here and very solidly so. At running back the Cowboys have someone back on the roster who was very productive for them last year in Javonte Williams. It would be nice to figure out who is going to supplant him and for someone like Jaydon Blue or Phil Mafah to rise up into that role, but if you are worried about RB2 then you have first world problems.
Wide receiver is a matter of individual perspective. For 2026 specifically, the Cowboys are more than fine with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens at the top. Ryan Flournoy presents a very fine option at WR3 so when the team is in 11 personnel they are cooking with gas.
Jake Ferguson is solid option at tight end. Given that the Cowboys handed him a contract extension at training camp last year the post is his for the foreseeable future, and he clearly has a connection with Prescott and the rest of the offensive cast. The Cowboys could certainly be in worse shape there.

This is not exactly RB2, but it is similar in a general sense. The Cowboys do have a bit of a problem behind Ferguson. This is an issue should Ferguson ever miss any time, but it is also an issue for when the team wants to operate out of 12 personnel. More pass-catching options are always preferred and right now the Cowboys hardly have a second tight end who they can reliably depend on.
Luke Schoonmaker has yet to take any kind of serious step since the Cowboys spent a second-round pick on him three years ago. Given that 2026 is the final year of his rookie contract you can argue that the team could/should consider moving on if the opportunity presents itself, but given the lack of competition at the spot that is hard to really see right now.
To be perfectly clear this is in no way an advocation for the Cowboys to spend a premium pick at tight end. But this is something for them to keep in mind.
The focus of the offseason has rightfully been on defense and it feels like the general consensus is that improving that will fix things because the offense was so good last year. It is possible, some would even say likely, that there will be some regression to the mean on offense which is why having more options as noted could be helpful from a raising-the-floor perspective.
