As the NFL offseason gains momentum, the Dallas Cowboys are actively trying to fill gaps on their coaching staff and evaluate their roster needs. Defensive tackle ranks high on their priority list after the team’s 2023 draft pick, Mazi Smith, underperformed as a starter. Osa Odighizuwa is set to enter free agency and re-signing him will be crucial if cap space allows. The Cowboys eye a strong draft class featuring top prospects like Mason Graham and Shemar Stewart, which could help bolster the line.

Additionally, running back is a sensitive area, with leading rusher Rico Dowdle likely leaving in free agency. The Cowboys must decide between drafting a running back or a defensive tackle, with options like Ashton Jeanty and Kaleb Johnson on their radar. Finally, the offensive line, particularly with the potential retirement of Zack Martin, adds urgency to seek quality replacements like Tyler Guyton and Josh Simmons, ensuring depth and competition moving into the next season.
