This 3-round mock draft focuses on filling holes on the roster while also addressing major concerns — such as their lack of receiver depth and a porous ground game. That said, let’s kick things off with pick No. 12.

Round 1, Pick 12: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

Dallas needs another starting-caliber wide receiver to pair with CeeDee Lamb, and what better way to do this than to select someone who emulates the Dallas superstar. Luther Burden III established himself as one of the best in the nation while at Missouri and said during the Combine that Lamb is a player he studies while honing his craft.

Burden showed up to the Combine at 6-foot-0 and 206-pounds. He recorded a 4.41 in the 40-yard dash, proving to have plenty of speed to go along with his frame. He can win at all three levels, giving the Cowboys someone capable of taking pressure off of Lamb.

Round 2, Pick 44: Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

The Ole Miss transfer put together a sensational campaign in Columbus and followed it up with a dominant NFL Combine showing.

Known for his power, the 221-pounder posted a 4.48 in the 40-yard dash and hit 11 feet on his broad jump.

He showed great explosion to go along with his power, giving Dallas a potentially elite option in the backfield.

Round 3, Pick 76: Alfred Collins, DT, Texas

With their final pick in this 3-round mock, Dallas adds Texas nose tackle Alfred Collins. At 6-foot-6 and 332 pounds, Collins would bring some much-needed size to the defensive line.

The Cowboys haven’t gotten the most out of Mazi Smith, which is why they bring in Collins — who could finally get their run defense on track.
