The curtain has closed on the 2022 NFL draft, at least for the Cowboys. Dallas stood pat and took all nine of their aloted picks, including six on Day 3. There’s still some work to be done as the club will sign a slew of undrafted free agents to compete, but now that the first few waves of free agency and the seven rounds are completed, it’s time to spin forward to the offseason work.

Dallas started the weekend with 64 players under contract and there could be 15 UDFAs added. For now, this is how we see the individual positional depth charts. Our presumptive starters from this draft class? The prospects from Rounds 1, 3 and one of the fifth-round guys.
