Cowboys draft poll: 5 draft scenarios for Dallas to fill holes on the roster

The Dallas Cowboys are prepping for the NFL draft after making some moves in free agency. With holes still on the roster, we solicited questions about possible scenarios for the team in the draft. Here are five that could be in play. Cast your vote on each and leave your opinions in the comment section.

The Dallas Cowboys have the choice of offensive tackle Will Campbell (LSU), running back Ashton Jeanty (Boise State), and cornerback Will Johnson (Michigan) at pick 12. Who should they take in that scenario?

Cornerback is a huge need for Dallas with questions about two starting spots unanswered (Trevon Diggs injury, Jourdan Lewis departure). On the offensive line, a player like Campbell available is hard to pass up, even with his shorter arms. Running back is still one of the team’s biggest needs and in a class full of talent, Jeanty is clearly at the top.

Drafting a wide receiver with either of the team’s first two picks is a very smart draft strategy?

Dallas has an abundance of down-roster receiver talent, but with Brandin Cooks out of the building, the team is in desperate need of a WR2. This year’s wide receiver class has talent, but it’s not as deep as previous years. Taking a position of need that has limited supply could be the best way to go, but that limits their draft plans.

Does the addition of Solomon Thomas preclude Dallas from taking a defensive tackle (or nose tackle) in this year’s draft? Or is it still a major need?

Dallas added two defensive linemen during free agency, one of those was ex New York Jets player Solomon Thomas. He’s spent much of his career as a rotational player on the defensive line, but he’s remained productive. During his last two seasons with the Jets he tallied 8.5 sacks, 57 total tackles, 12 tackles for loss and a forced fumble. But how do we feel about drafting a defensive tackle in light of this addition?
