The Dallas Cowboys surprised many with their strategy during the 2025 NFL Draft over the weekend, electing to address the trenches in the first two rounds, rather than the positions that many believed to be major needs on the roster.

Cincinnati Bengals first-round pick Shemar Stewart thought he was going elsewhere during the 2025 NFL draft. Let Stewart tell it, he thought that based on his pre-draft journey, he might wind up as a member of Jerry Jones' Dallas Cowboys.

It might seem odd to crown a third-round pick as the Cowboys’ best move of the 2025 draft. However, Shavon Revel Jr could be just that. Dallas has a long history of uncovering defensive back talent. Recall Trevon Diggs, Anthony Brown, and Byron Jones. Revel, if healthy, might top them all in terms of pure upside.
