There’s no definitive answer for how many blue-chip players need to be on an NFL roster to guarantee a Super Bowl. However, if the Dallas Cowboys want to make it to the playoffs this year, they need at least four to five blue-chip type talents.
So, what characteristics does a player need to be considered a blue-chip talent? The bare minimum should be an All-Pro level talent. Pro Bowls have become more subjective to the point where the bar to get in has been lowered. No offense to Tyler Huntley, the former Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback, but he earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2022 with a 2-2 record as a starter.
