For Me Dez Bryant in his Prime was an absolute terror on the field pairing him up with Ceedee Lamb would be a dangerous combination that no one could ever stop. Give Dez 88 and give CeeDee 82 it would look good on him. Dez, CeeDee, and Brandon Cooks in the slot.
P.S. if you want me to Delete just tell me and I will.
Granted, we have had very gifted players in the last 20 years who are definitley deserving of recognition, but for Gen X, Millenial (of which I am), and Gen Z Cowboy fans who don’t know much before the modern era, you owe it to yourself to check out this man’s YT channel:

His breakdowns of the older Cowboy squads, as well as his Top 5’s at every position, show just how lucky and DAMM special this franchise has been for 60 years. GM Tex Schramm and Head Scout Gil Brandt were amazing at their jobs and were even utilizing data driven evaluations with a custom computer back in the late 60’s.
It’s easy to dismiss the old Legends and say they wouldn’t fit in today, but if you compare their stats to now, all things being equal, they would kill it. With modern conditioning and nutrition, guys like Bob Lilly, Randy White, Too-Tall Jones, Harvey Martin, Hollywood Henderson, and Tony Dorsett would be blowing up fantasy stats weekly.
Even though our skill players have earned many of the accords, the Dallas Cowboys have been excedingly gifted with many excellent offensive and defensive linemen. If I had to choose any Cowboy to bring back, it’s gotta be someone on the 90’s Great Wall of Dallas. A lot of y’all have said Larry Allen, and I love him, but for me, I gotta go with Big E.
Pre-'94 Car Crash, Erik Williams, was maybe the best Right Tackle we have ever had. He routinely played across from legendary pass-rushers like Reggie White and Michael Strahan, and absolutley neutralized them.
