We're counting down five predictions that Mauricio believes are bold, but realistic enough to have legitimate reasoning behind them. First, Mauricio predicts that George Pickens will lead the Cowboys in receiving yards. Pickens has been one of the biggest stories of Dallas' training camp, with Cowboys coverage consistently highlighting his performance. Mauricio believes the former Steelers receiver is the real deal and could become even more productive in Dallas' offense now that the Cowboys have a better understanding of how to use his explosiveness and yards-after-catch ability. Mauricio is not predicting that Pickens will replace CeeDee Lamb as the team's best receiver. Instead, he believes Pickens could simply produce more receiving yards because of the type of explosive plays he brings to the offense. The second prediction is that DeMarvion Overshown will finish among the Cowboys' sack leaders. Mauricio is projecting five or six-plus sacks for Overshown, who recorded five sacks in 2024. With Christian Parker expected to bring an aggressive defensive approach and Dallas lacking a traditional superstar edge rusher, Mauricio believes the Cowboys could manufacture pressure by blitzing their second-level defenders. Next, Mauricio makes an even bigger team prediction: the Cowboys will finish with a top-three offense in the NFL. Dallas already had one of the league's best offenses last season, but Mauricio believes several changes can push the unit into the top three. Ryan Flournoy's emergence, an expected improvement in the red zone, a better season from Jake Ferguson and a better understanding of how to use George Pickens could all contribute. Mauricio also believes improved defense and special teams can help Dallas improve its starting field position, making life easier for the offense. The fourth prediction may be the wildest player projection: Quinnen Williams will record eight or more sacks. Williams has only reached eight sacks once in his career, but Mauricio believes the Cowboys' defensive scheme, improved defensive line and increased blitzing could create more one-on-one opportunities for their star defensive tackle. And finally, Mauricio makes his boldest prediction of all. Brian Schottenheimer will win Coach of the Year. If Dallas turns last year's 7-9 team into an NFC East champion, Mauricio believes Schottenheimer will deserve serious consideration for the award — especially after inheriting a defense that struggled badly in 2025 and dealing with the trade of Micah Parsons just before the season. Which of these predictions do you believe? Which one is completely crazy? And what bold Cowboys prediction would you make for the 2026 NFL season?
