FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys are like a lot of teams. They know the best way to build a team is through the NFL draft.
But an issue is starting to take shape with that theory.
One player remains from the Cowboys' 2015 draft class, defensive end Randy Gregory, and he is set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2022, although right tackle La'el Collins was signed as an undrafted free agent that year and under contract through 2024. Four players remain from the Cowboys' 2016 draft: running back Ezekiel Elliott, linebacker Jaylon Smith, quarterback Dak Prescott and cornerback Anthony Brown.
