Dallas has the 26th pick in the first round next Thursday night in Kansas City, Missouri.
"We think we’re in a great situation to really improve our football team," executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones said in a radio interview, "but not be pressed necessarily to draft for a need."
The Cowboys acquired receiver Brandin Cooks from Houston and cornerback Stephon Gilmore from Indianapolis in trades involving late-round draft picks. Both are likely starters who should give Dallas more depth.After a second consecutive 12-5 season, this one ending with a divisional-round loss to San Francisco, the Cowboys brought back safety Donovan Wilson, linebacker Leighton Vander Esch and defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins.
Special teams ace C.J. Goodwin and backup pass rusher Dante Fowler also are returning, while running back Tony Pollard has been given the $10.1 million franchise tag after the offseason"Part of the reason I think we’ve been confident in our system is we are able to take care of a lot of our needs before we even get to the draft," Jones said. "You’re never going to take care of every last one of them, but you certainly want to try to do as many as possible before you pick.
