Cowboys biggest needs heading into the NFL Draft

Well, not that free agency is all but over the Dallas Cowboys, it is all about recapping what they did and what the biggest need it heading into the NFL Draft next month.

The thing is, this offseason was probably the most active Jerry Jones has been since who knows when, and a lot of folks including myself are wondering if they even got better on the defensive side of the football.

A lot of talk was around trading for Maxx Crosby or signing Trey Henderickson, but those fell through, and really the only major signing they made was Jalen Thompson the safety from the Arizona Cardinals.

With all the major names gone, they still have needs on that side of the ball, and unless they surprise us with another trade, it looks like they are going to be banking on hitting on the first two round picks they have next month.

Linebacker

For me, and you may think differently and that is okay, but the biggest need is still at the linebacker spot.

As of now, the off-ball linebackers are DeMarvion Overshown, Shemar James and Justin Barron, that clearly needs some work.

My major issue is that everyone is putting stock into Overshown, and he has played 18 games in three years because of that knee injury, and he has to at least show me that he is able to stay on the field before I buy all the way into him.

They are just not very good at that spot, and the issue with picking at 12 is a little to late to be able to get Sonny Styles, the linebacker from Ohio State.

Secondary

With that said, my guess is that they will have the best cornerback left on the board at 12 next month.

They signed Jalen Thompson, who was their big signing last week, but also added Cobie Durant, who can play at just about any spot in coverage, and also P.J. Locke.
