While most mock drafts still have Dallas taking Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty with the 12th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, one draft expert has it taking a record-breaking tight end instead.

There is just a little over a month standing between the Dallas Cowboys and the 2025 NFL Draft. After hitting some depth pieces in free agency, the Cowboys still have plenty to accomplish in the draft if they want to be a true contender next season.

With the Cowboys addressing several defensive needs in free agency, that frees the franchise from drafting for need, instead, going for BPA (best player available) and in McMillan, if he is available at No.12, Lamb will get his running mate.

A run on defensive ends comes late in the first round, as the Lions get in on the action after seeing so many injuries at the position last season by drafting an All-American in Donovan Ezeiruaku who finished with 16.5 sacks last season in just 12 games.

Free agency has been a mixed bag for the Dallas Cowboys this offseason. They’ve added more talent than they did during their historically inactive 2024 offseason, but they’ve also lost several starters.

Jerry Jones says the Cowboys can fill their needs in the draft. That opens up multiple possibilities with the 12th overall pick.
