10 things we learned about the Cowboys during the 2025 NFL draft

The draft is over and it’s time to process everything we learned about what the Cowboys did.

The 2025 NFL Draft is over. The Dallas Cowboys maneuvered through the weekend and landed nine new football players. It’s hard to formulate any opinions this soon, but many fans believe they did a pretty good job in the draft. Whether that’s true or not remains to be seen, but there are some things we do know about this draft process thanks to what they did and what they told us in their post-draft press conferences. Here are ten things we learned about...

Projecting the Cowboys’ 53-man roster after the draft

Projecting the Cowboys’ 53-man roster after the draft

Here is what the Cowboys 53-man roster could look like following the draft.

The 2025 NFL Draft is over, and while the Cowboys still have a few roster spots to fill before they get to 90, they likely have most of their eventual 53-man roster in the building at this point. Which means it’s the perfect time to take a guess at who makes the final roster, with several intriguing positional battles already shaping up.

Quarterback (3)

Dak Prescott
Will Grier
Joe Milton

This position group can likely be locked in right now. Dak Prescott is obviously the starter,...

Report: Cowboys were among teams interested in George Pickens trade before NFL draft

Report: Cowboys were among teams interested in George Pickens trade before NFL draft

The Cowboys were reported interested in George Pickens.

The Dallas Cowboys have a full-fledged draft class and there is not a single wide receiver among the group. Suggesting that this would have happened at any point over the last few months might have garnered a few laughs, but here we sit.

In spite of not landing a receiver, the Cowboys had a very productive NFL draft. They stuck to their board and let talent come to them. If we are honest with ourselves then this is how we want to see the team approach this time of year. Sometimes it...

Why Cowboys’ 2025 rookie class may deliver up to four starters

Why Cowboys’ 2025 rookie class may deliver up to four starters

How much impact are you expecting from Cowboys rookies this year?

At irregular intervals over the last decade or so, I’ve tried to project the playing time of Cowboys rookie classes, with varying degrees of success.

  • In 2015, the estimate was wildly over-optimistic in projecting 3,000 snaps for a rookie class that ended up playing just 2,092 combined snaps, or 9.1% of the total offensive and defensive snaps that year.
  • In 2018, the projection was that the rookie class would play 12.1% (2,838) of all offensive and defensive snaps, and it was a pleasant surprise to find that...

Mel Kiper’s Biggest QB Draft Hits and Misses Over the Last 10 Years

Mel Kiper’s Biggest QB Draft Hits and Misses Over the Last 10 Years

Every NFL Draft season, Mel Kiper Jr. delivers some of the most influential quarterback rankings in the industry.

His projections shape debates on sports talk shows, podcasts, and front office draft boards. But no matter how respected his evaluations are, the NFL Draft tells a different story.

Over the last ten years, the discrepancies between Kiper’s pre-draft QB rankings and the actual draft results have been impossible to ignore.

Some quarterbacks soared past expectations. Others, despite Kiper’s endorsement, plummeted on draft night.

Here’s a look at the biggest surprises over the last decade.

BTB Tuesday Discussion: Which NFC East draft pick concerns you the most?

BTB Tuesday Discussion: Which NFC East draft pick concerns you the most?

Which NFC East draft pick did you like the least as a Cowboys fan?

Last week’s NFL Draft saw the Dallas Cowboys get better as a football team, but unfortunately it also provided an opportunity for the rest of the NFC East to improve their roster as well.

With the Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl and the Washington Commanders losing to them in the NFC Championship Game they did not have draft picks near the top of the draft. The Cowboys picked at 12 in the first round, but the New York Giants were right at the beginning with...

Dallas improved this position without using a draft pick

Dallas improved this position without using a draft pick

If there was one position room, on the offensive side of the ball at least, that the Dallas Cowboys improved in the draft, it was the quarterback room.

And they didn’t even spend a draft pick, or sign a free agent post-draft, to do it. And here you guys keep saying I never write anything positive about the Cowboys.

Dallas managed to land a solid back-up to Dak Prescott to take over after the next leg injury strikes.

Yeah, I know, the good vibes sure didn’t last long, did they?

Seriously, though, getting Joe Milton from the Patriots, along with...

Cowboys had two of the five best value picks on Day 2 of the NFL Draft

Cowboys had two of the five best value picks on Day 2 of the NFL Draft

The Dallas Cowboys may have won the second day of the NFL Draft specifically.

With the NFL draft in the rearview mirror we now have the benefit of hindsight fully at our disposal. Utilizing our perfect backwards vision we can see clearly that the Dallas Cowboys entered the process with full and express intent on coming away with value.

In a perfect world value through the NFL draft marries with team need in exact harmony. That doesn’t always happen, but we laud the great teams and roster-builders for making it work regardless. We have obviously done this in the past...

The NFL Draft has passed, and the Cowboys still have a major issue

The NFL Draft has passed, and the Cowboys still have a major issue

The NFL draft is now over, and the Dallas Cowboys graded out just fine, but still lack a major issue following the weekend.

I am sure you can all guess what I am going to get into here, but first let me give credit.

The 2025 draft by this front office was good, really good, but I would feel much better if this team did not have a glaring issue at one of the most important spots in all of football.

They still do not have a guy they can line up next to CeeDee Lamb and pose a threat,...

The idea of the Cowboys finally having the pieces to play “bully ball” is catching on more and more following their nine draft choices.

CBS Sports: B

CBS Sports echoed similar sentiments, noting the Cowboys’ emphasis on building through the trenches.

They highlighted Booker, Ezeiruaku, and Revel Jr.’s strategic selections, which address critical areas on the roster.

The focus on line play and defensive depth was seen as...

Here is what the Dallas Cowboys did throughout free agency and the NFL draft

Here is what the Dallas Cowboys did throughout free agency and the NFL draft

Here is a full list of what the Cowboys did through both free agency and the NFL draft.

When it comes to the offseason there are two primary windows of opportunity for NFL teams to add to or adjust their roster. Things begin with free agency and the Dallas Cowboys do not exactly believe in utilizing it to a serious degree. This year ran a little counter to that, more on that in a moment, but anybody who has been paying attention knows that the Cowboys like to build primarily through the NFL Draft.

The draft took place this past...
