Offensive needs

There is all the talk about the offensive line needs and how bad it has been this year. I totally agree with this statement but people can not forget about the fact that the Cowboys do lack some depth on the rest of their offense.

The receiving corps is known for Austin, Bryant and Witten, some of the best receivers in the entire league. Bryant is already over 1,000 yards for the season and Witten and Austin could join him at this mark. Which is really amazing that one team could have 3, 1,000 yard receivers. Only a few teams have ever been able to accomplish this. You can look at this stat in a good way but then also in a bad way. Having 3, 1,000 yard receivers tells people that you have 3 very good receivers. But it also tells people that they are mainly the only people the quarter back throws too. After Austin who is at 898 yards, the next closest is Ogletree at 399. Meaning almost 70% of Romo's yards go to the top 3 receivers. Which yes if he trusts them, then why not? Well if Romo only throws to them defenses can easily defend the Cowboys against the pass. The can double coverage or and make sure they have their best guys on Austin, Bryant, and Witten. A good offense is a team that has at least 4 or 5 receivers that can go onto the field and make plays. At tight end I think the Cowboys are set, Witten only needs 6 receptions to break the record for receptions in a season by a tight end and already holds the record for receptions all time for Cowboys. There are also some quality back ups behind him that could fill in for him. But as for receiver the Cowboys should look to find another one in the draft, they could possibly pick one up in the second or third round, this would add much depth to their roster and make their receiving corps a lot better.

The run game also needs help. Murray has been very helpful to this offense and has proved he is the starter. But when he got hurt the Cowboys were hurt badly. Felix Jones was not able to do really anything for the Cowboys when Murray was out. Forcing them to rely on their passing attack which caused turn overs. The Cowboys should look to find a quality running back in the draft to take some of the load off of Murray and be able to step up when Murray gets hurt. Some backs stand out in the draft class that the Cowboys could pick up in the about the 3rd round of the draft, people like Montee Ball, or Stepfan Taylor would be great for this offense.

Over all the Cowboys have a lot to do in this draft, they need to get some solid offensive lineman, run stopping defensive lineman, and offensive weapons that can really step up.
