The 2021 draft class had a rough weekend in Denver, but theyll make the squad, along with an up-and-coming fifth-round pick Bland who appears like he has a strangle hold on the backup nickel back position. Waletzko showed better at LT than Josh Ball did, and if he doesnt get shut down for the year he should be the backup LT. Ball and Collins are really a toss-up for backup right tackle behind Steele.

Neville Gallimore DE5: Chauncey Golston, Cut: Tarell Basham, Big Kat Bryant, Mike Tafua, Will the Cowboys go thin at DE now that they know what they have in Micah Parsons as a unicorn? While the focus is on the names that will be on the backs of jerseys this fall, there is something else that has to be considered. That means a likely move to add additional depth at guard, or perhaps someone with the position flex to back up both guard and tackle. One way to look at this is to figure out what is the minimum number for each position. Veterans with at least four accrued seasons aren’t subject to waivers, making McQuaide a top candidate along with Noah Brown, Dante Fowler, or perhaps C.J. DeMarcus Lawrence Dont rule out a veteran WR being brought in at some point during camp, either. The Dallas Cowboys will get to work figuring out their roster at training camp over the summer but there are some players that already have the inside track. Neville Gallimore and Osa Odighizuwa are the base package on passing downs, and I think Quintin Bohanna has earned a spot as a legitimate run stuffing 1-tech. The hope among Cowboys followers is that the team can add a solid veteran LB to improve the talent/depth of the unit. The Cowboys' secondary has several holes, and even Trevon Diggs was a boom-or-bust corner who could regress. North Texas is under storm risk levels 2, 3 and 4. Example video title will go here for this video. CB1: Trevon Diggs In this prediction, Alec Lindstrom gets the nod and a redshirt year to grow.

As you can see, I’m leaving a TBD spot for a player that I expect to be added sometime over the next week. Hopefully, he can have a rebound year with the Cowboys as he did in limited action with the Saints. However, the team might be able to snag a better PS player from the QBs that are going to hit the streets as other teams go through the same decisions. Mukuamu and Bell have earned it, and the club should have seen enough out of Thomas and Coyle to bring them back to the practice squad if they arent claimed. While most of their time on the field will be on special teams, both players have shown flashes of sure tackling and picking off passes. Will Grier didn’t show as much as we’d have liked on Friday night but I think it was still enough. . John Ridgeway will either develop a sudden injury to be stashed on IR, or they will move him to the practice squad for a year of development. It was great to see him get out of training camp healthy, and he should be a starter from day one. Dallas Cowboys. Rico Dowdle at one point seemed like a favorite to be the backup, but after undergoing a knee scope, hes opened the door for JaQuan Hardy and Aaron Shampklin to show what they can do and possibly unseat him at the position he was once favored to win. I believe Dowdles experience in the offense will help him in the end and ultimately allow him to win the backup role. Mike Tafua has done enough to stick around on the practice squad. Goodwin is going to repeat his 2020 when he was released but brought right back after the team moves Waletzko to IR. I think Dallas would rather use that roster spot to secure a young DT prospect like John Ridgeway or a sixth LB in Devin Harper, focusing more on development for the future. They need those blockers to help KaVontae Turpin make his dazzling returns. So trying to compare them as equals is kinda pointless from the jump. There isnt much discussion for the top three spots, but expect the Cowboys to sign a veteran tackle after the first week of the season. While it appears that the Cowboys have decided Rush is Prescotts backup based on his limited work Friday night, and Grier not taking the job by storm, for some reason I think Grier gets the nod.

Cornerback C.J Goodwin has been a special teams ace for a few seasons but is a liability at cornerback. Again, pretty cut and dry on the 53 here as Farniok backs up both center and guard. Michael Gallup Expect the Cowboys to keep a center on the practice squad. Oops. A new 'study' claims to have the answer. He will likely sit out against Tampa and perhaps Cincinnati, but the potential for him to play in those early NFC East battles with the Giants and Commanders is too great for Dallas to close the book on just yet.

CeeDee Lamb, Jalen Tolbert, Noah Brown, Simi Fehoko, KaVontae Turpin, Dennis Houston. With Wilson’s contract expiring after this year, how much sense does it make to let him take up a roster spot? If things get crowded, Goodwin could easily end up being an odd-man out and released should a trade for an outside player be for a future draft pick instead of sending a player away. After the reports of how bad Will Grier has looked in team practices, Im not sure if he will be on this Cowboys roster once the season begins. Dowdle missed last season with a hip injury, but the team was high on him after his rookie season. A strong unit gives a reason to add one just to retain a quality talent.
