This offseason, the Dallas Cowboys have made strategic moves, adding eight former first- and second-round picks through free agency and trades, showcasing a commitment to building a stronger roster. Among these signings, cornerback Kaiir Elam from Buffalo stands out, as he aims to fill the gap left by Jourdan Lewis. However, questions remain about the Cowboys' ability to replace key players like Trevon Diggs, who is nursing an injury, and the departure of veteran guard Zack Martin.

The defense has seen enhancements with Solomon Thomas, a once high draft pick, joining the ranks alongside Osa Odighizuwa. The landscape at linebacker also shifts with Kenneth Murray's arrival from Tennessee. While the Cowboys have bolstered their defensive front, the offensive line and receiving corps still hold uncertainties, particularly with Brandin Cooks now with the Saints. The upcoming NFL draft will be pivotal in addressing these needs while leveraging the newly acquired talent effectively.
