Dallas Cowboys mock drafts, and the NFL draft in general, simply mean more than it does for many other franchises. Fans of other organizations get excited about the prospect of free agency. Cowboys fans either get their hopes up for the inevitable nothingness that’s as inevitable as Thanos, or they’ve already given up on the exercise entirely. The NFL draft is how Dallas builds their roster. No team had more homegrown talent on their roster than the Cowboys did heading into 2022. But while they remained largely inactive in the free agent market, Dallas used draft picks to trade for Stephon Gilmore and Brandin Cooks, erasing their two most-significant needs. The Cowboys must draft well to maintain competitiveness, and they do it at an insane rate. Over the past decade, Dallas has only truly missed on one selection in the first round, when they drafted Taco Charlton. Everything else has been nailed on the head.
