Inside The Star
The new coaching staff for the Dallas Cowboys will look to draft players in the 2025 draft to fit their schemes.
The staff will have new coordinators on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball and several new position coaches to assist with the transition.
The new offensive scheme will incorporate more runs, pre-snap motion, counters, and new blocking schemes, which will help elevate the run and pass.
The defensive scheme will be a bend-but-don’t-break philosophy that requires an athletic 3-tech and good linebackers. The new coordinator’s hallmarks are takeaways and execution.

At 6’3”, 210lbs, Tre Harris would be the perfect compliment for CeeDee Lamb.
This pick would allow CeeDee Lamb to continue moving around the offense from the outside to the slot and make defenses account for another big-time receiver.
The film shows a boundary receiver with outstanding potential who can instantly enhance an NFL offense, especially on third downs and in the red zone.
Harris’s skill at making contested catches and excelling at various levels of the field makes him a key asset in play-action and vertical passing offenses.
