No. 12 CB Will Johnson, Michigan
No. 44 WR Jayden Higgins, Iowa State
No. 76 LB Chris Paul Jr., Mississippi
No. 149 RB Trevor Etienne, Georgia
No. 170 LB Danny Stutsman, Oklahoma
No. 171 RB Bhayshul Tuten, Virginia Tech
No. 174 QB Tyler Shough, Louisville
No. 188 C Jake Majors, Texas
No. 211 DL Ty Robinson, Nebraska
No. 247 DL Howard Cross III, Notre Dame

This was a needs-based draft based on what we've done in free agency so far and who we've lost. I went by the rankings at https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2025-nfl-draft-board-big-board. I can't say it would be my favorite draft if Dallas did it this way since I want a DT early. I'd also like an RB earlier. I do like Ty Robinson and think he'll be gone before that point in the draft. Same with Howard Cross, but his lack of height may make him a late-rounder. And Tuten is one of my favorite third-day backs.

If PFF has DT Robinson in the 200's their rankings can't be trusted.
For me switch Paul(170) and Stutsman(76)... and Etienne(171) and Tuten(149) to make it a little more realistic.
Stutsman and Tuten might go on Day 2.
Still need a slot corner, unless Bland plays there.

It's always hard to tell. Some players we think are going to go early end up being taken late and some who are late-rounders or even UDFAs get taken earlier than expected.

I don't swear by PFF's rankings, though. They were just one of the few that I found with that many prospects ranked.

All right. Have to adjust my needs picks based on today's free agency and trades.

12 WR Luther Burden III, Missouri (WR is the only need position we haven't addressed)

44 DT Alfred Collins, Texas

204 C Jake Majors, Texas

211 RB Ja'Quindon Jackson, Arkansas

I tried to look at some other sites with that many ranked, but some of their early rankings were out-of-whack with more trusted ones I've viewed that were limited to 50 or so. So I stuck with PFF for my updated needs draft.
