Cowboys get perfect "way-too-early" ESPN ranking " Inside The Star
"The Cowboys didn't make any real moves on offense this offseason. They are just running things back. But the way the offense could become even better in 2026 is if Flournoy takes a big step up in Year 3."
"I think Dallas is exactly where they should be with the offseason and draft that they had. Regardless of what their schedule looks like, this team with the worst defense in football a year ago won seven games. If you don't think about the improvements that they made, the defense still has some glaring issues."
"In the end, the Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons and got four brand-new starters on the defense. They now have Kenny Clark, Rashan Gary, Caleb Downs and Jerry Jones. He was not given enough credit for trading for probably the third-best defensive tackle in football in the middle of last year, Quinnen Williams."
During the NFL offseason, ESPN released early power rankings placing the Dallas Cowboys at No. 16, ranking them eighth in the NFC. The Cowboys made no significant offensive moves, instead focusing on defensive improvements. Key defensive acquisitions include Kenny Clark, Rashan Gary, Caleb Downs, and Quinnen Williams, obtained through strategic trades. Despite having the worst defense last season while winning seven games, the team has substantially strengthened their defensive roster. The ranking reflects appropriate positioning given their offseason activity and draft performance. Offensive improvement could come from Flournoy's development in his third year. The ranking will likely change as the season approaches, but currently reflects the team's competitive standing.
