Dak's Cowboys Weapons Earn Stunning Ranking from PFF

The Dallas Cowboys offense, for most, was missing one piece after the offseason work done by the front office - a No. 2 receiver.

With Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams at running back, a reworked offensive line and a solid draft haul, the only thing left was a running mate for CeeDee Lamb, and Dallas got it in George Pickens.

For some, that completes the offense for Dak Prescott, but others aren't sold. When ranking the receiver rooms of all 32 teams, Pro Football Focus places the Cowboys at a stunningly so-so No. 15.

"CeeDee Lamb carries the Cowboys’ ranking here," Pro Football Focus writes. "His 79.9 PFF receiving grade in 2024 was low for his standards, but he recorded a 91.2 mark the year prior when Dak Prescott was fully healthy. Dallas traded for George Pickens, who is coming off a career-high 78.6 PFF overall grade, but they need more from Jake Ferguson, Jalen Tolbert and someone — anyone — out of the backfield."

After the year Dallas had, if that's the driving force here, middle of the pack feels right, and let's be honest, all of the hype surrounding the offense is pure speculation and "hoping" Pickens can continue his ascension, Jake Ferguson and Jalen Tolbert can improve.

That is a lot of hope, but it is far more than what Dallas had to work with last season.

As we look ahead to the 2025 season, we believe the Cowboys will have an offense that is not middle-of-the-pack, but rather one that is capable of pushing toward or even into the top 10.

Of course, everything has to go right, for example, Prescott stays healthy, and if he does, Dallas' weapons will be ranked far higher than 15th next offseason.
