Recent tragedies highlight need for changes in both the NFL, NCAA

Near the end of the 2024 college football season, LSU receiver Kyren Lacy was a potential first-round pick in next week’s draft.

That all changed in mid-December on a road in Louisiana. Lacy was allegedly driving recklessly, speeding and passing in a no-passing zone that morning.

An oncoming car swerved to avoid hitting Lacy’s car.

That vehicle could not avoid a head-on collision with the car Lacy was passing.

Lacy did not stop or call 911. Herman Hall, a passenger in the car Lacy passed, died at the hospital from his injuries.

Lacy would declare for the draft two days...

Jerry Jones should get the Miami Dolphins on the phone before it’s too late

Jerry Jones should get the Miami Dolphins on the phone before it’s too late

In a surprising development that has created buzz across the NFL landscape, Miami Dolphins star CB Jalen Ramsey is reportedly available for trade.

While no deal has been made yet, several teams are expected to be in the mix, and one name keeps resurfacing: the Dallas Cowboys.

With a need to bolster their secondary and a long-standing interest in Ramsey dating back to the 2016 NFL Draft, the Cowboys could finally have an opportunity to bring one of the league’s elite defensive backs to Dallas.

Jerry Jones should be on the phone with the Miami Dolphins right now.

BTB Tuesday Take: Hitting in the second-round is more impressive than the first this year

BTB Tuesday Take: Hitting in the second-round is more impressive than the first this year

The Cowboys absolutely have to hit on their second-round pick this year.

In our Monday discussion prompt here at BTB we discussed how it is very unlikely that the Dallas Cowboys will do something in the first round that will upset us. The second round, on the other hand, is an entirely different story.

Consider the last 10 players who the Cowboys have taken in the second round:

  • 2024: Marshawn Kneeland
  • 2023: Luke Schoonmaker
  • 2022: Sam Williams
  • 2021: Kelvin Joseph
  • 2020: Trevon Diggs
  • 2019: Trysten Hill
  • 2018: Connor Williams
  • 2017: Chidobe Awuzie...

4 scenarios that could trigger a potential trade-back opportunity for the Cowboys

4 scenarios that could trigger a potential trade-back opportunity for the Cowboys

What do you think would have to happen for the Cowboys to find a trade-back partner in the first round?

The Dallas Cowboys have a very important decision to make when they are on the clock in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. It’s unclear in which direction they go as there are a few different things they could do that would help their team. One of those things is trading back.

Trading back would be helpful in giving them more draft capital to address more areas on the roster rather than putting all the pressure on those...

2025 Dallas Cowboys 7-Round Mock Draft

2025 Dallas Cowboys 7-Round Mock Draft

All right, folks, here’s a 2025 Cowboys seven-round mock draft that should make some of you happy.

There are so many mock drafts out there, and if you combine them all, you may get a few picks correct, but let’s get crazy.

Maybe old Jerry Jones has a little Wildcattin’ Jerry left somewhere between all the Johnny Walker Blue and dollar bills.

If he does, this is his kind of draft.

A trade-up of this magnitude would need to be for a once-in-a-lifetime prospect, and one player fits that description.

Let’s get into it.

Cowboys get back to work in Draft’s 5th round

After taking the first couple of hours off of the Saturday session of the draft, the Dallas Cowboys will get back to work in the fifth round.

Dallas will have two draft picks in this round to work with. At one point, they had four picks in the fifth round.

They shipped off one to Buffalo for a back-up cornerback who might develop into a quality starter.

The other went to New England to upgrade the Cowboys’ backup quarterback situation.

Both trades filled needs with solid players, so Dallas has already had a successful round before the draft even begins....

Cowboys roster: Concern that Trevon Diggs will start the season on the PUP list

Could Trevon Diggs miss the start of 2025?

While the Dallas Cowboys have kept a relatively optimistic tone publicly regarding Trevon Diggs’ injury, sources close to the situation suggest the reality might be more complicated. Diggs, who suffered a torn ACL two seasons ago, is currently rehabbing for a cartilage surgery the cut short his 2024 season. There are signs that his recovery is not progressing as quickly as hoped.

Some within the organization fear that the injury could linger well into the 2025 season, raising concerns not just about his availability for training camp but also about his readiness...

Examining Dane Brugler's ‘The Beast' as it relates to the Cowboys 2025 draft

'The Beast' could help shine light on the Cowboys potential draft targets.

Christmas came early for many of us when Dane Brugler of The Athletic released his 2025 NFL Draft guide, "The Beast". This source of information is arguably the most thorough and in-depth draft guide available and is an essential tool for the biggest event of the offseason, which is now just a little over a week away (April 24-26).

How could it apply to the Dallas Cowboys? While Dallas' draft rankings may vary from "The Beast" to some degree, it's safe to assume they'll both be pretty similar....

2025 NFL Draft: The Cowboys must be “selectively aggressive” when drafting a wide receiver

The Cowboys need to add a wide receiver talent in this draft, but how they go about it is important.

The Dallas Cowboys must come out of the 2025 NFL draft with a good wide receiver. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to convince you that the team spun its wheels when trying to find a quality complementary receiver for CeeDee Lamb. In recent years, the team has used the draft, free agency, and even trades to find the missing piece, but each time, they have come up short.

If you looked back over the last several years, you might...
