The Dallas Cowboys hold the No. 4 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft after a season doomed by injuries to QB Tony Romo and poor QB play. With only a few needs and free agency essentially over, Dallas is looking to the draft to address them. The Cowboys are hoping to fix the weaknesses that prevented the team from making the playoffs and ensure they make a trip to the postseason next year. Here are all the latest Cowboys draft rumors that you need to know.
Ohio State RB Ezekiel Elliott Visiting Dallas
The Cowboys are in the process of setting up their pre-draft visits with prospects, and one of those is Ohio State RB Ezekiel Elliott.

Elliott is the draft's top running back and could be a top 10 pick. The Cowboys' interest in him is curious, given that the team has Darren McFadden, brought back Lance Dunbar and added Alfred Morris in free agency. However, Elliott isn't the only RB the Cowboys are looking at.
Cowboys Looking At Henry?
The Alabama running back is clearly the No. 2 back in the draft, behind Elliott. The Cowboys are also looking at Henry, who told NFL.com he met with the Cowboys. If the Cowboys want Henry, there only likely chance to grab him will be at the top of the second round. While Henry could go before that, it'd be a real shock if he slipped to the Cowboys pick in Round 3.
Dallas Met With Ramsey
The top player on the Cowboys' board might be Florida State DB Jalen Ramsey, so it shouldn't be a surprise that he recently visited with the Cowboys.
I'm told Jalen Ramsey has visited the #Cowboys and has a visit with the #Titans on the horizon. Both teams picking in the top 5 ...

The Cowboys might not get a chance to take Ramsey. The Chargers could take him at No. 3 overall, and the Titans are clearly interested. But if Ramsey is on the board for the Cowboys, they should end up taking him. He'd fill a big need in the Cowboys' secondary.
