MOBILE, Ala. _ Despite having a roster that many inside and outside the organization believed would contend for a Super Bowl title, the Dallas Cowboys' vice president of player personnel Will McClay, the man tasked with assembling the talent, questioned whether the talent was up to the task.
"If we don't get to where we're going, that talent's not good enough," McClay said, adding that the team needed to improve in both the building the talent and the use of it. "We have to get better at that. ... We need our impact players to make impact plays."
The process of finding more of those impact players is underway with McClay attending the Senior Bowl, the annual showcase that has become a staple of the Cowboys' pre-draft process.
McClay held a wide-ranging interview with local reporters on Wednesday, talking in-depth about how the talent evaluation process may evolve under new coach Mike McCarthy and reaffirming that the team believes Dak Prescott is the quarterback who can get the organization to the next level.
