There are several potential scenarios for the Dallas Cowboys on Day 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft, and with just a few days until the team finds itself officially on the clock, there are varying opinions on what direction the team could go.<\/p>\n

Most in NFL circles appear to believe Dallas will target a wide receiver on Day 1.<\/p>\n

After that, other major areas of need are running back, defensive back, and some help in the trenches on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n

In a final mock draft from Jon Machota of The Athletic, the Cowboys perfectly nail a three-round haul that fills the team’s biggest needs by the end of Day 2.<\/p>\n

In the first round, Dallas lands Arizona’s massive wide receiver target Tetairoa McMillan, who can not only perfectly complement CeeDee Lamb’s skillset, but add a serious redzone threat.<\/p>\n

With their pick in the second round, Dallas turns to the defensive side of the ball and takes a swing on stud Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos, which would be viewed as a bit of a risk with Ohio State running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins still on the board.<\/p>\n

Rounding out Day 2 of the draft, the Cowboys finally land their running back with Tennessee Vols star Dylan Sampson, who has been compared to former Cowboys starter Tony Pollard.<\/p>\n

“Sampson gives Dallas a player capable of being its lead back. He rushed for 1,491 yards and 22 touchdowns last season,” Machota wrote.<\/p>\n

“Dane Brugler\u2019s breakdown of Sampson in his annual draft guide also made him sound like a good fit. ‘Sampson is undersized by NFL standards and his inconsistent tempo gets him in trouble,’ he wrote, ‘but he is equal parts fast, physical and slippery as a runner and shows promise as a pass catcher. He can have a Tony Pollard-like impact for an NFL backfield.'”<\/p>\n

If Dallas were to hit those three picks, it would be hard for Cowboys Nation to complain about the three-round haul. Let’s hope they can find similar value this week when the draft actually kicks off.<\/p>\n
