5 major takeaways from Cowboys unpredictable 2023 NFL Draft
By Jerry Trotta
4. Cowboys are comfortable with their offense
This goes without saying after the Cowboys used three of their first four picks on defensive players. Luke Schoonmaker was Dallas' lone offensive investment through Friday until they drafted North Carolina OT Asim Richards, who projects to convert to a guard in the NFL, with the No. 169 overall pick.
As much as fans would have liked the team to draft a receiver early or wait until before Round 5 to onboard an offensive linemen, the front office has good reason to be comfortable with where the offense is at.
That's not to say they rested on their laurels, but think about how much firepower resides within Dallas' offense.
Dak Prescott is a top-10 QB in the league, and closer to the top five when he's on his game. CeeDee Lamb established himself last year as an elite receiver and hasn't even hit his prime, while Brandin Cooks has seven 1,000-yard seasons under his belt and Tony Pollard is as explosive as they come at the RB position.
Though it has injury concerns, the offensive line is elite at full-strength and Prescott now has three capable tight ends to target.
The offense could've used another playmaker or readymade starter, but it was in a great place entering the draft to begin with.
