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. Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College

Could provide additional pass rush help immediately to a defense that struggled at times last season. He would be the perfect fit for them.

2. Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Versatile piece that can play any scheme and position in a secondary that was a weak point last season. They might have to try and trade up 3-4 picks in order to get him though.

3.  Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

With Philadelphia being in the division, you’re going to have to stop the run to beat them, and Harmon could help with that as a potential late day 1 or day 2 selection.

4. Jonah Savaiinaea, OT, Arizona

Offensive tackle may not be the biggest priority in Washington, but they could use a Day 2 pick to pick a guy who could help protect Franchise QB Jayden Daniels.

5. Treveyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

The Commanders have two serviceable running backs, but Henderson’s speed and explosiveness could add another dimension to the offense.
