NFL execs comment on Cowboys draft class

[Risen Star]

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.”

Yeah but Lamb gets hurt then what?? We need someone to help take the coverage off of him

Those execs dont realize that Dak needs all pros everywhere to carry him. We had Lamb last year and the offense was offensive with Dak

Building the trenches! If either gets pushed around, you aren't winning the game.

Side note - if Sam Williams is 100% and ready to go, the Cowboys pass rush will have a top 5 (at least) ability.

Blue is a guy to watch.

Blue is a guy to watch.

He is but he’s not dictating coverage to a defense.

can we depend on him to be a WR??? I Heard he was doing WR drills or whatever with the WR's

Blue is an outstanding receiver. He will be a factor in the flat and can run any route. He can line up in the backfield and at wide receiver.

options I love it!!!!

Do teams cover Gibbs with a DB?

Will Blue demand DB coverage from a defense.

He for sure creates a mismatch in the flat. Which will move the chains and create big plays. And all this for pick 149 after adding top guard, top pass rusher, and top corner.

Even if he isn't, it still does. Parsons, Ezeiruaku, Fowler Then Kneeland and P. Turner. Then Solomon, Akingbesote, Odiggy, Mazi, Toia.

In the past, when the 49ers lined up Deebo Samuel at RB, the Cowboys often had Diggs up at the line to cover him. That was an obvioius ++ for the 49ers on run plays.

I’d imagine whatever exec said this is part of a franchise that doesn’t make the playoffs.

[Acceptablename]

Blue and Ferguson are receivers

Yep. WR is an overrated need. Picking WR first round when we were about last in rushing offense & defense was a casual idea.
