The Dallas Cowboys are having a phenomenal season this year, with a 10-3 record heading into Week 15. They recently secured a big win against the Philadelphia Eagles, solidifying their position as a Super Bowl contender. Despite their success, fans are already looking ahead to the 2024 NFL Draft, hoping to see improvements in some areas.
Sportskeeda’s Mock Draft simulator predicts the Cowboys will draft Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson in the first round, which makes sense given the team’s need for a more prolific running game. With Mike McCarthy calling plays, Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb have excelled in the team’s pass-dominant offense, but a dominant running back like Henderson could take them to the next level.
Henderson boasts an impressive college career, with 2673 rushing yards and 32 rushing touchdowns on 427 carries over 30 games at Ohio State, averaging 6.3 yards per carry. He also has 569 receiving yards and five touchdowns. This makes him a desirable prospect for the Cowboys in the upcoming draft.
The Cowboys’ current running backs, Tony Pollard and Rico Dowdle, have not been as productive as expected, and the team is in need of an upgrade in that position. Even if they don’t land Henderson, they are likely to pursue other highly touted running backs such as Blake Corum, Trey Benson, and Braelon Allen.
Overall, the Cowboys are looking to bolster their team for a continued push towards Super Bowl contention.
