As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the 2025 NFL Draft, they find themselves in a familiar position: stuck between the urge to make a splash and the need to fix glaring roster issues. Picking 12th overall, …
The Dallas Cowboys defense has been a top focus of the front office this off-season. From hiring Matt Eberflus as defensive coordinator to extending Osa Odighizuwa, the team has tried hard to buff up the D, and one NFL Draft prospect could be the finishing touch. Even with Odighizuwa’s return, defensive tackle remains a major need …
Roger Goodell will be on stage in Green Bay announcing draft picks before we know it. The biggest event of the NFL offseason kicks off in just 19 days, and that means the Cowboys’ first-round plans are becoming clearer. Dallas’s 30-visit list is starting to leak, which is always the strongest indicator of who they may …
The 2025 NFL Draft prospects heading to Dallas for a visit show what the front office and coaching staff will focus on to build this team. The new coaching staff knows what they want to build up in the upcoming draft, and the vision is already coming into focus. Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer made it clear …
The Cowboys drafted RBs in Round 1 in 1990 (Emmitt Smith, 17th overall, 18,355 yards, three Super Bowls), 2008 (Felix Jones, 22nd, 2,728 career yards), and 2016 (Ezekiel Elliott, 4th, 8,262 yards, three rushing titles). These selections, verified through draft records, reflect the team’s periodic investment in RBs despite league trends. 2025 prospect TreVeyon Henderson (Ohio …
Tetairoa McMillan is a top prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft, and many experts predict the big receiver will go to the Dallas Cowboys. Landing a prospect with the abilities of McMillan would transform this offense into one of the top units in the league. A legitimate number two wide receiver would open the offensive playbook …
It’s a near guarantee that the Dallas Cowboys quarterback room will be bolstered during the 2025 NFL Draft. Dak Prescott, now 31 years old, isn’t getting any younger, Cooper Rush is headed to Baltimore, and Trey Lance may be headed to the CFL. Essentially, it is long overdue for Dallas to bring in a quarterback in …
The NFL Draft is less than a month away, which means we’ll be seeing weekly rumors from now until draft day. This week, the smoke around the Cowboys’ draft plan centered around Texas A&M star Shemar Stewart. Stewart, 21, is one of the highest-ranked pass rushers in the 2025 class. The consensus is Penn State’s Abdul …
Since 1989, the Dallas Cowboys have only used a top-100 pick on a wide receiver or running back just 18 times. Their philosophy has generally prioritized linemen, linebackers, and defensive backs in the early rounds, widely ignoring the skill positions: running back and wide receiver (I purposely left out tight end). A mixed bag of Hall …
Since Jerry Jones purchased the Dallas Cowboys in 1989, the team has built a franchise rich in history, but when it comes to drafting wide receivers in the first round, the Cowboys have been remarkably selective. In fact, only three wide receivers have been selected in the first round during Jones’ tenure as owner. This limited …
The Dallas Cowboys, one of the NFL’s most storied franchises, have long been known for their strong roster, both in terms of talent and historical success. However, despite their rich legacy, the Cowboys have been rather selective when it comes to drafting quarterbacks. Since 2001, the team has only selected five quarterbacks: Quincy Carter, Stephen McGee, …
Quinn Ewers could be the backup plan for Dallas in more ways than one as they prepare to host the University of Texas Quarterback. As all fans know, the Cowboys have a $240 million quarterback in Dak Prescott, but his injury history has made it almost mandatory to draft a young quarterback. A young gunslinger to …
As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the Dallas Cowboys find themselves with a top 12 pick in the draft for the first time since the 2021 NFL Draft when they selected LB Micah Parsons in the first round. With an established core and a roster filled with talent, the Cowboys’ front office faces a pivotal decision …
A draft prospect the Dallas Cowboys 2025 draft plan must include is a pass rusher, and one of the top pass rush prospects should be available at pick 12. The Cowboys did bring back a former player, Dante Fowler Jr., who spent last season with the Washington Commanders. Fowler had a great season last year and …
The 2025 Dallas Cowboys will need to upgrade several skill positions, with the wide receiver position being one of the two most important areas that need help. The Cowboys have added depth to the wide receiver depth chart by signing Parris Campbell, but this signing does not improve the talent situation. CeeDee Lamb needs another talented …
Each day we get closer to the NFL draft in April, and after the moves both the Dallas Cowboys have made and other teams throughout the league have done, the Cowboys draft board looks a lot different now than it did two months ago. The Cowboys have signed some depth players, and a few are probably …
The Dallas Cowboys are primed to take a big leap in the 2025 NFL season, largely due to a stronger than normal draft crop, with several compensatory picks as well. Not to mention, these are key additions that fill some of the major holes each team needed to address, and it helps their attempts at being …
We are nearly a month away from the NFL Draft, and one thing has become clear in Dallas: the 2025 draft class may revolve around the Cowboys’ wide receiver weakness. Five years have passed since the team selected CeeDee Lamb with the 17th pick, and it could be time to bring in the star WR2 that …
The Ohio State Buckeyes are ready for the upcoming NFL Draft, with several players expected to be selected. Surely one of the best players around, TreVeyon Henderson, has showcased his talent in the best possible way, convincing scouts that he has exactly what it takes to make it at the highest level. Last season was amazing …
Now that we’re closing in on April, it’s officially Cowboys Mock Draft Monday season. While a surprise signing could still come in, it seems that Dallas has made their moves for free agency and is looking toward the draft. The front office was significantly more active this year than in previous ones, but their moves were …
The Dallas Cowboys have been granted four compensatory draft picks for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, a recognition of personnel decisions and roster departures.
