With the 2025 NFL Draft complete, we engaged team executives for thoughts on NFC teams’ classes.
Dallas Cowboys
Execs did not share some analysts’ concerns that Dallas failed to draft a receiver.
“I don’t know why everyone wants them to take a receiver so bad when they have one they are paying $34 million a year,” one exec said, referring to CeeDee Lamb. “There are always wideouts out there, and you have a guy that demands coverage.”
Dallas’ first two picks, guard Tyler Booker and edge Donovan Ezeiruaku, were team captains in college.
“They got the best guard in the draft, and they get a pass rusher opposite Micah Parsons who can actually win with speed,” an exec said. “Their pass rush is going to be a pain in the *** to deal with. The corner they got in the third (Shavon Revel Jr.) might have gone in the back end of the first round if he’d never gotten hurt.”
The Panthers’ decision to take receiver Tetairoa McMillan at No. 8 doomed a slew of mock drafts that had Dallas taking the Arizona wideout at No. 12.
“Booker is huge, and he can knock people back, but he does run out of gas some,” another exec said. “We liked the corner they took (Revel). He can change the angle of the ball arriving, like Seattle used to do with those taller corners.”
