The Dallas Cowboys, fresh from the hire of Ben Johnson, are gearing up for the 2025 NFL draft. However, their chances of landing a first-round-graded player are uncertain. The Cowboys’ 12th overall pick is typically a prime spot to secure top talent, but this year’s draft class is shaping up to be less than stellar.
With only 11 players currently graded as first-rounders, the competition for these elite prospects will be fierce. The Cowboys will likely need a few quarterbacks to be selected early by quarterback-needy teams to have any chance of landing a top player. Fortunately, six teams in the top ten are potential suitors for quarterbacks Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, which could push first-round-graded players at positions of need to the Cowboys.
The current list of first-round-graded players is a Who’s Who of top college talent. Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter, and Tetairoa McMillan are just a few of the names that could be called early on draft day. However, with the Cowboys picking 12th, they will be sweating on the draft’s early developments to see if any of these players fall to them.
In most years, the 12th overall pick would be a prime spot to land a first-round-graded player. However, the 2025 draft class is shaping up to be one of the weaker ones in recent memory. The Cowboys’ front office and fans will be anxiously waiting to see how the draft unfolds, hoping that they can secure a top player to bolster their roster.
While the Cowboys’ draft prospects are uncertain, one thing is clear: the next few months will be a nervous wait for America’s Team. Will they land a first-round-graded player, or will they be forced to settle for a lesser prospect? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – the 2025 NFL draft will be a wild ride for the Dallas Cowboys.
