Steven Kriz’s Post-Draft NFL Power Rankings

11.  Dallas Cowboys

I fully expect, barring another injury-ridden year for Tony Romo, that the Cowboys will bounce back from the very disappointing 2015 campaign, and deliver another NFC East title.  Their offensive line is still a top-unit in all of football, and, even though they broke one of my carnal sins of drafting, and selected a running back in the first round, Ezekiel Elliott should run wild in this system.  In my opinion, he is a far better back then Demarco Murray ever was, and this should give Romo all the help in the world he needs to get back to the playoffs.  The defense still isn’t very good, but they should be able to grind out the clock and win the time-of-possession game, and win a lot of football games by doing this.  I would expect a bounce back year from Dez Bryant, and I think the Cowboys will run away with the division, and could be a dark-horse candidate to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.
