With the 2022 Reese’s Senior Bowl set to start practices on February 1, the Dallas Cowboys will be making their annual trip to Mobile to get a first-hand view at some of the top prospects in this year’s draft. The rosters are set, with seven players from my most recent mock draft attending, and several others that could fill the final four spots in the draft order that have yet to be determined. A year ago, Dallas selected a trio of defenders that competed in the Senior Bowl, in Osa Odighizuwa, Chauncey Golston, and Jabril Cox. All three made a…

With the 2022 Reese’s Senior Bowl set to start practices on February 1, the Dallas Cowboys will be making their annual trip to Mobile to get a first-hand view at some of the top prospects in this year’s draft crop.

Football fans couldn’t have asked for a better slate of games than we witnessed in the Divisional Round, with every game coming down to the wire. Any of the four teams eliminated last weekend could have advanced if only a few plays had gone in their favor instead of vice versa. With that in mind, next April’s first-round selections will likely revolve around finding players that can help them get over the hump in 2022. I’ve updated my most recent postseason 2022 NFL mock draft to reflect the addition of Buffalo, Tennessee, Tampa Bay, and Green Bay to the updated…

Following the Wild Card Round, we now know the 2022 NFL Draft order through the 24th pick, so I’ve updated my NFL Mock Draft 2.0 to include the six teams whose season ended last week. The deadline for underclassmen to declare has also expired, meaning we now know who will be in the 2022 NFL Draft. There were quite a few prominent prospects who chose to return to school, but we still hit triple-digits in underclassmen forgoing their remaining eligibility. Here’s a look at my updated NFL Mock Draft first-round predictions based on the 24 picks we know. 2022 NFL…

Last Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys season came to an end with a 23-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, leaving fans, players, coaches and ownership less than satisfied, to say the least. With Kellen Moore and Dan Quinn hitting the interview circuit, this staff is likely to see change. In addition, the Dallas Cowboys roster has 23 players hitting free agency this offseason (20 UFA, 1 RFA, 2 ERFA) and are currently estimated to be $13.6M over the 2022 salary cap. After the Cowboys signed 13 players to their reserve/future list, they currently have 54 players under contract heading into…

We know who holds the top 18 picks of this April’s NFL Draft, with teams like the Giants, Jets and Eagles each holding two picks in the top 18. NFL mock drafts have been popping out all week, making predictions about which players can best help the teams that failed to make the playoffs this year. Of course, a lot will happen over the next three months to give football fans a clearer picture of which prospects will dawn the colors of their favorite teams. The postseason bowls for NFL prospects are on their way, and the deadline for underclassmen…

The Dallas Cowboys are one Packers loss away from jumping into the top overall seed in the NFC after their win in New York this Sunday. The Giants came in with an abundance of injuries that gave them little chance to compete, and Dallas took care of business. Dallas will now wait patiently for the Tuesday night outcome between Philadelphia and Washington before “the team with no name” has to make the short turnaround to Texas. Regardless of who wins on Tuesday, Dallas can clinch the NFC East with a home against Washington next Sunday. Here are some positives and…

The Dallas Cowboys took their fanbase through every emotion imaginable in the nation’s capital. In the end, they got their ninth victory in a year that looks like 10 will win the NFC East. Still, this offense has to get their act together at some point. Sure, an NFC East crown and a playoff berth are fine accomplishments, but that’s far from where the goals should end. I know the Cowboys’ haters are rolling their eyes at that statement. Every year, it seems as if the weight of being the most iconic sports franchise in the world leads to people…

The Dallas Cowboys wrapped up their 12-day, three-game stretch with a 1-2 record after a 27-17 win over the New Orleans Saints. Despite an underwhelming showing in several areas, Dallas was able to grab a little momentum despite the absence of Mike McCarthy, among others, who were out with COVID-19. Dan Quinn stepped in to do an admirable job without the defense being affected, and the win provided a much-needed boost, as the Cowboys now prepare for a three-game stint with NFC East opponents. More importantly, it appears Dallas came out of this game relatively healthy, which hasn’t always been…

With only a few weeks left before Conference Championships, it appears the college football playoff landscape is close to being decided. One could make a case that Georgia can clinch a spot in the four-team playoff with wins over Charleston Southern and Georgia Tech, regardless of what happens in the SEC Championship. Alabama, Oregon and Ohio State all control their destiny by winning out, while Cincinnati would benefit from one of those three losing. Let’s take a look at this week’s top college football matchups for NFL scouting purposes. Game of the Week: Iowa State vs Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, Norman,…
