Stephen: Reaching For Draft Needs, Like Pass Rush, Can Lead To “Huge Mistakes”

INDIANAPOLIS – This April, the Cowboys plan to stand firm with an approach that’s worked well for them in the draft: selecting the best players available on their board.

It’s not a unique philosophy, for sure, and it’s no secret the club has question marks at certain positions on its roster at this point in the offseason. Twenty players scheduled to be free agents when the new league year begins March 9, and, despite the defense improving its quarterback sack total last season (36, ranked 13th in the league), the team has stated pass rush help as a priority.
