The NFL Draft is quickly approaching, so I am taking a look at every team’s main targets. Let us know in the comments who you think each team should be targeting and what you think of our picks. Here are the main targets for the Dallas Cowboys:
1. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

If Jeanty falls to pick 12, there is no more obvious player-to-team fit than Jeanty with Dallas. Brian Schottenheimer could draft his LaDainian Tomlinson if he makes it that long.
2. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Jerry Jones loves to make a splash in the draft, and drafting the big-bodied Arizona WR to pair across from CeeDee Lamb would make some waves. There is no doubt that the Cowboys want a WR in this draft.
3. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

If he falls to Dallas in Round 2, would be a perfect low-ego, professional football player to take some attention off of CeeDee Lamb without creating any more problems in the offense.
4. Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina

High risk, high-reward player who could go from day 2 selection to shutdown corner.
5. Alfred Collins, DT, Texas

An in-state prospect who could come in and help the Dallas run defense issues.
