Inside The Star
With the NFL draft well over and gone, the Dallas Cowboys fans, if they have not yet been able to check out all the notable picks, should be able to get a nice understanding over the next two summer months of what the rookies are going to bring to the table.
Dallas had a total of nine picks in this draft, but only about five of them are going to have a legitimate chance to get meaningful snaps in the 2025 season, and for the Cowboys, they took a handful of guys that were the highest-rated players on their board at the time.
What grade do you give the Dallas Cowboys draft class?
RG Tyler Booker
DE Donovan Ezeiruaku
CB Shavon Revel Jr.
RB Jaydon Blue
LB Shemar James
OL Ajani Cornelius
DT Jay Toia
RB Phil Mafah

Cleary Tyler Booker is the guy that everyone should want to have the best rookie season, he was the Cowboys first round pick.
Booker will likely fill in at right guard while Tyler Smith will play left guard.
Tyler Guyton will protect Dak Prescott’s blindside at left tackle while veteran Terence Steele bookends the line at right tackle, and honestly don’t rule out Steele being cut. Cooper Beebe will anchor things down at center.
I think when you look at all things considered, Booker should be the guy who has the best rookie season, but let’s not rule out the four others I will list just below here in a moment.
I hope we see Booker become one of the greats, like we are seeing with Tyler Smith.
Dallas added Jaydon Blue from Texas in the fifth round at pick No. 149. The problem is Blue isn’t a workhorse running back who can carry an offense with 20-plus carries.
He had over 15 carries only once in his final season with the Longhorns, rushing 24 times against Louisiana-Monroe. Blue wasn’t even the featured back for Texas, splitting carries with Quintrevion Wisner.
JAYDON BLUE, HOW DO YOU DO?!?! 🔥

With Javonte Williams most likely being the main back, followed by Miles Sanders, even though Blue did not have a huge workload at Texas, he should be in line for plenty of carries if he can prove himself this summer.
Blue ran a 4.38 40-yard dash at the NFL combine, so he has the speed, and if he can break some runs like he did in the video I added above, I will be happy.
Boston College defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku was selected with the 44th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys.
Some draft boards had a first round...
