This offseason for the Dallas Cowboys has been defined much more by their departures in free agency compared to additions that move the needle for Mike McCarthy’s team to be taken seriously as championship contenders. The NFL draft next month stands as the next real opportunity for the Cowboys to add talent after unsurprisingly passing on the early waves of free agency. They will have their work cut out for them with needs for a new starting left tackle and center being their most pressing roster holes. It is hard to look past all the Cowboys have lost this offseason, also including last year’s starting running back Tony Pollard, and remain optimistic about the strengths that remain on the roster - particularly on defense where new coordinator Mike Zimmer is tasked with picking up the pieces left by Dan Quinn to keep this unit near the top of the league.
