Cowboys 2025 Prospect Watch: Desmond Watson

Cowboys 2025 Prospect Watch: Desmond Watson

In the 2025 NFL Draft, defensive tackle Desmond Watson is a prospect to watch.

This young man is the ultimate run-stopping defensive tackle, which is exactly what this defense has been missing for several years.

The defense currently has a great pass-rushing tackle in Osa Odighizuwa and a solid veteran in Solomon Thomas, but Thomas is getting older and should see limited snaps.

That leaves the defensive front with one glaring need: stopping the run. Mazi Smith could have a breakout year in year three, but some insurance would be nice.

What are your NFL expectations from Travis Hunter?

The NFL Draft begins one week from today and it feels like there is a lot that we think we know is going to happen.

One of the would-be questions that seems to still be floating around is exactly how successful Travis Hunter is going to be at the professional level. It feels obvious that success is destined for him, but the type of it is going to be fascinating to watch unfold. Will it all be at one position? Some at both? All at both? He is a truly unique player...

Cowboys get Buckeye Fever in this playful draft scenario

The Dallas Cowboys, a franchise that thrives on star power and strong college pipelines, could make a bold and calculated move in the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting three players from the same school in the first three rounds.

This is the second installment of my series on the 2025 NFL Draft, focusing on one school that the Dallas Cowboys could select their first three picks from.

In the first article of this series, we focused on Michigan, which has been earmarked in recent years by Cowboys fans as a school to avoid because of failed draft picks DE Taco...

Stephen Jones left the door open for a trade back in the first round.

Any time we have talked about the upcoming NFL draft in recent days we have noted that at this point, with a week and change to go, you have to be careful with what is floating around out there.

Given that the draft is indeed so close that it is within an arm’s length, reports and rumors are all over the place. Some may wind up being true and born of legitimate honesty, but others are born out of gamesmanship that is played as everybody is...

Tyron Smith retires with Cowboys, next stop is Canton

Tyron Smith retires with Cowboys, next stop is Canton

One of the greatest to ever put on a Cowboys uniform, a first ballot Hall of Famer has finally said goodbye to the game of football.

A five-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowler, Tyron Smith was drafted ninth overall by the Cowboys in the 2011 NFL Draft and quickly established himself as the premier left tackle in the game.

He signed a one-day contract to officially retire as a member of the Dallas Cowboys.

A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s All-2010’s Team, Smith signed a one-year deal with the Jets last offseason to play what we now...

Wednesday, April 16, was a bittersweet day for the Dallas Cowboys organization and its players, as future Hall of Fame left tackle Tyron Smith announced his retirement.

3 more players who could be on the bubble following the draft 

The Cowboys roster is going to look very different when the draft is over.

Earlier this offseason, we examined players who could be moved off the roster following what happens during the draft. The Cowboys have ten draft picks, which is plenty of ammunition to address holes on the roster after the initial wave of free agency. Since then, things have changed, and the team has made a few additional transactions. As we get closer to the draft, the picture of the team’s direction once they’re on the clock is clearer. With just over a week until the draft, here...

Why Micah Parsons’ attendance at voluntary workouts matters

Why Micah Parsons’ attendance at voluntary workouts matters

There have been a lot of opinions on presence at voluntary workouts this week.

The NFL draft will be here soon, and while mock drafts are at their fever pitch, the players currently on the roster are busy at work. Flying under the radar is the offseason workouts for veterans. The first day of voluntary workouts for the Dallas Cowboys has already arrived. Although the workouts are voluntary, they still have a meaningful purpose. With the Cowboys welcoming a new coach, changes will undoubtedly take time to implement; therefore, taking advantage of the voluntary workouts is beneficial. For the new...

Jerry Jones noted Tyron Smith will one day join the team’s Ring of Honor.

The great Tyron Smith retired from the NFL on Wednesday and with him goes another storied piece of Dallas Cowboys franchise history.

Obviously the Cowboys failed to achieve the game’s ultimate prize with Smith on the team, and fellow recent retiree Zack Martin as well, which is something that we all simply have to live with. While that is the case we can acknowledge that players like Smith and Martin were incredible and will rightly receiver their due someday when they enter the Pro Football Hall...

Tyron Smith retired from the NFL on Wednesday. What a career he had.

Something I realized in the early part of this week what with Rory McIlroy winning The Masters and so many people talking about how McIlroy had been chasing ghosts at Augusta first born in 2011, and that was literally all of Tyron Smith’s career. It was referred to as this insanely large amount of time with McIlroy, rightfully so, which proves how incredible it was that Smith played as long as he did.

Next week the Dallas Cowboys, and the rest of the NFL, will gather to hold their annual draft. No other date on the offseason calendar holds as much importance as the three days associated with the draft. Teams fortunes can change for the better, or the wrong picks can doom a franchise.
