The Dallas Cowboys obviously didn't have the season they wanted to have in 2024.
Dallas dealt with a pretty shocking amount of top-tier injuries -- including to quarterback Dak Prescott -- but there was enough depth in the franchise to still win seven games. The Cowboys have been busy throughout the offseason so far, but there is a lot of work that still needs to be done.
Dallas needs one or two more offensive playmakers before the 2025 season gets here. That has been talked about enough and is pretty clear. A running back and a wide receiver in the NFL Draft would be great. But, the Cowboys could also use an offensive lineman or two. That's part of the reason why Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox floated a hypothetical deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"Cowboys Get: 2025 1st-round pick (No. 5)," Knox said. "Jaguars Get: 2025 1st-round pick (No. 12), 2025 2nd-round pick (No. 44), 2025 5th-round pick (No. 149), 2025 6th-round pick (No. 204). The Cowboys may hope that a healthier roster is enough for them to return to relevance in 2025. However, Dallas needs to upgrade its offensive line if it hopes to become a serious playoff contender. Future Hall of Fame guard Zack Martin retired this offseason, and tackle Tyler Guyton left plenty to be desired as a rookie last season—Pro Football Focus graded him 115th out of 140 tackles.

"Making an aggressive play for one of the top linemen in the 2025 class would make sense. Only two line prospects—LSU's Will Campbell and Missouri's Armand Membou—received first-round grades from the B/R Scouting Department. Landing one of them would be a win for Dallas. Membou could immediately slot in at right tackle and provide a big upgrade over Terence Steele. Campbell could either start at guard or left tackle, which could put Guyton back at his natural position on the right side."
This is pretty aggressive and seemingly unlikely, but it would fill a need for Dallas and protect Prescott for the foreseeable future.
