The Dallas Cowboys don't need to be blowing up any other team's phone during the 2023 NFL Draft. They already made their two big trades, acquiring veteran starters in wide receiver Brandin Cooks, an ideal No. 2 to CeeDee Lamb, and cornerback Stephon Gilmore, the 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year who can solidify the Cowboys' secondary opposite Trevon Diggs. Thanks to their effectiveness in re-signing almost every defensive contributor from a season ago, Dallas' defense is essentially ready to roll for 2023. The Cowboys' offseason moves acknowledge they have a window of contention over the next two seasons, the final two of quarterback Dak Prescott's four-year, $160 million contract. There are no-trade and no-tag clauses in his contract, so Dallas will have to pay up to keep him once again in a couple years. That will come on top of likely big-money extensions for linebacker Micah Parsons, Lamb and Diggs in the next few years. That ticking clock means there's a lot riding on the Cowboys to continue their strong offseason by supplementing their current roster with inexpensive, impact contributors in this upcoming draft. Today, here's an approach the Cowboys should use if they opt to not make trades and simply pick players with their current collections of picks. Here is our seven-round 2023 Cowboys mock draft, where all Dallas has to do is select the best player available.
