Believe it or not, the Dallas Cowboys are receiving some high praise for their plan of attack during the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Cowboys may not have added a wide receiver, which fans were desperately hoping for. However, the front office and head coach Brian Schottenheimer knocked it out of the park in other areas.
One pick that has continued to be applauded by some in the media has been the Cowboys’ third round selection of East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr.
