The Dallas Cowboys drafted Dak Prescott in 2016 out of Mississippi State in the 4th round a draft class with quarterbacks including Jared Goff and Carson Wentz.
In year three, you can now make the case that Dak Prescott is under the most pressure he has yet to see ever in his football career. Going into this season he lost his number 1 premiere target in Dez Bryant and has lost one of the greatest tight ends to play the game in Jason Witten to retirement.
Losing such great talent in the passing game you would think the Dallas Cowboys would have a bright plan in line for Dak and the offense but the front office did such a terrible job replacing their two stars that departed. In offseason they acquired Allen Hurns and Deonte Thompson through free agency. They also acquired Michael Gallup who they drafted and Tavon Austin who they traded for during the draft in the 6th round. They still also have Terrance Williams and Cole Beasely.
With most young franchise quarterbacks you see teams flooding their rosters with talent. Jared Goff was 0-7 as a rookie starting for the Los Angeles Rams, yes he was playing under Jeff Fisher and not Sean McVey but the fact of the matter is he didn’t have success being the first pick of the draft. Carson Wentz was 7-9 his rookie for the Philadelphia Eagles. With these two quarterbacks on their first contracts both teams made it their priority to surround it as much talent as possible to contend for a title.
The Rams went out to acquire massive defensive talent in the offseason getting Aqib Taleb, Marcus Peters, and Ndamukong Suh. Also making a strength stronger getting Brandon Cooks a deep threat receiver who will make their offense more explosive. The Eagles knew that their running game was the Achilles hill of the team and that they lacked receivers and help in their secondary. They made it their priority to give Carson Wentz the talent to help the team get to the next level getting Jay Ajayi.
