Dallas Cowboys enter 2025 NFL Draft with clear focus and a big 10

The Dallas Cowboys have a significant debt to repay their loyal fanbase after failing to reach the playoffs last season, finishing with a losing record of 7-10. The franchise landed third in the NFC East, trailing behind the reigning champions Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) and the Washington Commanders (12-5).

Looking ahead to the 2025 NFL Draft, Dallas holds the 12th overall pick, positioning them well to select a top prospect from this year’s class. In total, the Cowboys will have ten selections at their disposal across all seven rounds.

Dallas Cowboys’ 2025 NFL Draft picks:

• Round 1: No. 12 overall
• Round 2: No. 44
• Round 3: No. 76
• Round 5: No. 149, No. 174 (compensatory pick)
• Round 6: No. 204 (from Detroit Lions via trade with Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills), No. 211 (compensatory pick)
• Round 7: No. 217 (from Tennessee Titans via trade with New England Patriots), No. 239 (from Green Bay Packers via trade with Tennessee Titans), No. 247 (from Kansas City Chiefs via trade with Carolina Panthers)

Key needs for the Cowboys in the 2025 Draft:

WR | RB | CB | LB | DL

One of the Cowboys’ most pressing needs is at wide receiver. Beyond star CeeDee Lamb, the team lacks another reliable target for quarterback Dak Prescott to bolster their aerial attack. Addressing this hole with a high draft pick will be a priority.

At running back, free agents Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders could serve as complementary pieces. Still, Dallas is expected to use one of its early selections to secure a young RB who can carry a larger workload.

Defensively, the Cowboys face several gaps due to a combination of injuries and the departure of key players in free agency. Reinforcements at cornerback, linebacker, and along the defensive line will be crucial to strengthen a unit that underperformed down the stretch.

With ten picks in hand, the Cowboys have the draft capital to reshape their roster and reignite hope among their fans after a disappointing 2024 campaign.
