With the 2019 NFL draft nearly at hand, here’s a look at the top positional needs of each team before the selections begin Thursday. NFC East Dallas Cowboys Needs: TE, WR, CB, DT Analysis: The return of Jason Witten from retirement and ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” broadcast booth is, at best, a partial and temporary repair for the Cowboys’ tight end situation. They need help there, and adding a wide receiver also should be a priority in case the arrival of Randall Cobb does not compensate for the departure of Cole Beasley. The Cowboys are without a first-round pick after sending it to the Raiders in the Amari Cooper trade. New York Giants Needs: QB, WR, offensive line, pass rusher, S Analysis: The Giants’ roster should be considered a total rebuilding project, even if general manager Dave Gettleman won’t acknowledge that.

President Robbins discusses Campus Conversations, strategic plan, UA sports
As the new semester approaches, The Daily Wildcat sat down with returning President Robert C.
