Blogging The Boys
If the Cowboys are thinking about trades... Seattle is a team that makes some sense.
The 2025 NFL Draft is merely weeks away (April 24-26) and the Dallas Cowboys have surprisingly given us little evidence as to how they plan on approaching things. We know they still have quite a few holes to fill on their roster, but how they go about addressing those needs is anyone's guess as of right now.
Today, with the big event drawing closer by the day, we have a seven-round mock draft for the Cowboys. Instead of standing pat with their current selections in each round, we decided to explore the possibility of making a first-round trade with the Seattle Seahawks.
For this exercise we used Pro Football Focus' mock draft simulator and also referred to Dane Brugler's draft guide, The Beast. As Dak Prescott would say, "Here… We… Go…".
The Cowboys make out like bandits from this hypothetical trade. Seahawks wanted to trade up for EDGE Shemar Stewart and in return the Cowboys received two extra draft picks the Top 100. In so doing though, they miss out on WRs Tetairoa McMillan and Matthew Golden.
Mike Green has some character concerns that need to be cleared up, but pairing him with Micah Parsons, Sam Williams, and Marshawn Kneeland would give the Cowboys a fearsome foursome off the edge.
Jayden Higgins is one of the best "X" WRs in the entire 2025 draft class. He's an intriguing height-weight-speed WR whose talent reminds of Nico Collins. He would pair nicely with the CeeDee Lamb on the outside and would give Dak Prescott another go-to target.
Dallas needs another 1-technique to pair with Mazi Smith and Alfred Collins checks all the boxes. At 6'5", 332-pounds with 35" arms and a 85" wingspan, the former Longhorn DT is a big-bodied, space-eater who would immediately upgrade Dallas' run defense.
Jordan James may not be a homerun hitter, but he is going to pile up a lot of doubles. He is one of the most well-rounded RBs in the draft class and his vision, power, balance, and quickness will translate well at the next level. He'll push for the RB1 job as a rookie in Dallas.
Nohl Williams would be a great fit in Matt Eberflus' scheme. Not only is he one of the best tackling CBs in the draft class, but he's also one of the best ballhawks. He would provide much-needed insurance at the position as a rookie and compete for a starting job.
Emery Jones was a three-year starter at RT in LSU's pass-happy, inside-out zone scheme. He has the agility and...
