The Dallas Cowboys will want to get it right at the 2024 NFL Draft. GM Jerry Jones' team has always had the hype over the last few decades, but the Cowboys have not won a Super Bowl since 1996.
They ended the 2023 season as NFC East champions with a 12-5 record. However, they suffered a humiliating elimination in the wild-card round, losing to Jordan Love's Green Bay Packers.
Nonetheless, the Cowboys will look to bolster their squad at the upcoming draft to make a deep run in the playoffs next season.

Dallas saw a number of players leave in free agency with one of the biggest names being Tony Pollard, who signed with the Titans to replace Derrick Henry.
The Cowboys desperately need some help at OT, LB and CB, though picking a running back isn't out of the equation either. They currently have Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaughn in their RB room along with Royce Freeman, who was a more recent addition.
