Late-round draft steals the Cowboys should have their eye on.
Barring a trade, of the Dallas Cowboys’ 10 total draft picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, six of them are on Day 3 in rounds four through seven. With three picks in the fifth round and two in both the sixth and seventh round, it's going to be important for the Cowboys to find impact players in the latter part of the draft.
The Cowboys are fortunately known as a team who have been able to find some hidden gems in the late rounds in the past, as well as hitting on some undrafted free agents, but nothing is ever guaranteed. This year, more than in years past, they may need to hit on more than they miss considering they still have quite a few holes to fill for their roster.
With that in mind, here are a few of the players who could be late-round steals for the Cowboys. Each play listed below possesses the ability to fill one of the Cowboys roster "needs" early on as a role player as a rookie. For a late-round draft pick that should be considered a win.
After signing Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders in free agency, it's still unclear exactly what the Cowboys are looking for at the RB position or when they may select one in the draft. The one thing we do know right now about their offense based on last season is they could definitely use more playmakers who would add some juice to both the running and passing game. Former Texas Longhorns RB Jaydon Blue could be that player.
Blue probably isn't someone who is expected to carry the majority of the workload at the next level. The 5'9", 196-pound just doesn't have the frame to handle around 20 touches a game in the NFL. What he does bring to the table though is the ability to take it to the house any time he touches the ball as either a runner or receiver out of the backfield. That kind of home run threat is currently lacking from Dallas' offense.
Kyle Williams is flying under the radar no more after besting nearly every defensive back at the Senior Bowl to only follow it up by performing really well at the scouting combine. Because of that, the former Washington State WR has seen his draft stock skyrocket. While he's still expected to be a Day 3 draft pick, there's a chance he could sneak in and get selected in the latter part of Day 2. It only takes one team to fall in love with him.
Williams is more of a slot/Z WR and may not be what the Cowboys are looking for if they want and X receiver to pair with CeeDee Lamb. However, with his talent and skill set, he could complement No. 88 very well. His release package off the line of scrimmage is...
