In: Chris Jones, Brett Maher, L.P.Looking to salvage his career after never clicking in Pittsburgh.īack with DC Dan Quinn, but just one productive season on his resume. However, in today’s pass-happy NFL, it’s hard to see either player seeing the field on a regular basis. Both players can deliver huge hits in the run game while providing valuable depth on special teams. Kavon Frazier and Donovan Wilson are similar players in that they’re both better suited as box safeties. That said, the Cowboys didn’t invest in safeties so these three should see the majority of the playing time. Xavier Woods is a decent starter but Jeff Heathcan be upgraded. The Cowboys are banking on George Iloka playing like he did with the Cincinnati Bengals. In: Xavier Woods, George Iloka, Jeff Heath, Kavon Frazier, Donovan Wilson He’ll probably convert to safety at some point during his career. Michael Jacksonis listed as a cornerback, for now, doesn’t have the ability to follow receivers around in man coverage. Jourdan Lewis looks good when he’s on the field, but the coaching staff seems turned off by his relatively undersized frame. Anthony Brown holds down the slot to round out the starting cornerbacks. The starting spot opposite Jones is up for grabs, and right now Chidobe Awuzie has the best chance to win it. In: Byron Jones, Chidobe Awuzie, Jourdan Lewis, Anthony Brown, Michael Jacksonīyron Jones is one of the better cornerbacks in the league and should continue his impressive career. Christian Covington and Joe Thomas round out the depth chart and should contribute on special teams. As a lifelong Cowboy, it’s hard to imagine Jerry Jones parting ways with the former lifeblood of the defense. Sean Lee is no longer a starter but he still provides valuable depth. Justin March-Lilliard earns the last starting spot and would be a nice complement to Vander Esch and Smith. These two could easily comprise the best linebacker duo in football. Leighton Vander Esch and Jaylon Smith took the league by storm in 2018 and should only get better with experience. The Cowboys know their strength lies in the front seven, so they carry six linebackers into the regular season. In: Leighton Vander Esch, Jaylon Smith, Justin March-Lilliard, Sean Lee, Christian Covington, Joe Thomas Kerry Hyder misses the roster in this projection but could easily beat out Dorrance Armstrong for the final defensive end spot. Tyrone Crawford’s ability to line up all along the line earns him a spot, while Daniel Wise gets a job because the Cowboys need all the interior line depth they can get. The same goes for Dorrance Armstrong, although he could be a regular gameday inactive if he doesn’t show something in the preseason. Joe Jackson has NFL build and could use a year on the bench to develop his pass-rushing moves. Maliek Collins loses his starting position, but he’ll still remain a valuable depth piece. Taco Charlton needs to stay on the field and improve his consistency, but for now, he makes the roster. Demarcus Lawrence is the obvious star with Trysten Hill, Antwaun Woods, and Robert Quinn rounding out the starting unit. The Dallas Cowboys love their front seven, so this projection has the team carrying 10 defensive linemen. In: Demarcus Lawrence, Trysten Hill, Antwaun Woods, Robert Quinn, Maliek Collins, Taco Charlton, Joe Jackson, Daniel Wise, Dorrance Armstrong, Tyrone Crawford However, he’s a good downfield blocker, and that skill has value in the Cowboys run-heavy attack. Noah Brown, meanwhile, has just nine catches in his NFL career. If the Cowboys can coach up his skills, he could develop into a serviceable depth receiver. Johnson has NFL athleticism but his lack of receiving polish led to him going undrafted in the 2019 NFL Draft. Should those two not make the team, the most likely replacements are Jon’Vea Johnson and Noah Brown. Tony Pollard and Tavon Austin have similar skill sets and Austin could be the odd man out if Pollard impresses in camp. He should be ready for the start of the season, but the Cowboys might choose to move on from the former Jacksonville Jaguar. Allen Hurns carries a $6 million cap hit and is coming off a gruesome ankle injury. Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and Randall Cobb will be the top three options, but everything else is up in the air. Nobody really knows what the wide receiver room will look like in Week One. In: Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, Randall Cobb, Allen Hurns, Tavon Austin
