The start of the 2024 NFL regular season is still months away. That may make discussing the starters the Dallas Cowboys already have on their roster wildly premature. After all, free agency has barely begun, especially for the normally slow moving Cowboys, and the draft is always their main tool for talent acquisition.
Allow me to explain why this may be far more relevant than you think. Last year, Dallas made two significant acquisitions before the draft, Stephon Gilmore and Brandin Cooks. Both came via trade, but still made bigger contributions than we have seen from outside players in years.
