The Cowboys position groups are harder to rank than you would think.
A few position groups are some of the best in the NFL, so the top of the list was much easier for me than the middle down. The harder positions will need young players to grow up in a hurry, and veterans to stay healthy.
These same positions will need someone in those groups to step up and take the lead before things get messy after the season starts.
Love it or hate it, this is how I see the position groups being ranked.
How could anyone not put this wide receiver group at the top of the power ranking?
CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens combined last season for 2,506 receiving yards, 12 touchdowns, with only 12 drops on 168 receptions.
I don’t know if there would be much of an argument with just these two receivers, but this position has a breakout candidate in Ryan Flournoy, and KaVontae Turpin brings the speed.
What I think is crazy about this group is that Lamb and Pickens will get the majority of looks and the other two will get the leftovers, but Flournoy and Turpin can turn these looks into major gains because of the attention they won’t get.
Dak Prescott has more than enough help in this area. Nobody should blame wide receivers this season for anything.
Quinnen Williams changed the way I look at the defensive line and being ranked the 6th overall defensive tackle in the NFL may be the fuel to push him to take over next season.
I’ve watched the Dallas Cowboys get pushed around for so many years, I don’t know what it’s like to have a team stop the run. Williams gives them something they’ve been missing for years.
Then you add in Kenny Clark and give those two an entire offseason together. I can’t wait to see what they look like in year two.
Add in a couple young guys in Otito Ogbonnia and Jay Toia and this line could be formidable next season.
Dallas finally has some weight inside, and I’m all about it.
Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe, and Tyler Booker could become the best interior line in the NFL this season. These three guys are beasts and could become the meanest part of this offense.
Smith already plays with the kind of edge I like in a guard. Beebe is hitting his stride and will de-cleat someone. Booker looks like he’s trying to take someone’s head off every play.
The Cowboys proved last season they could run the ball and these three guys are one of the main reasons that was possible.
I feel like this is the position group that can line up, tell the defense what they are about to run, and still get four yards.
This trio might be my favorite part of the team.
