The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys made one of the more surprising selections during the first round of the 2025 NFL draft. At pick No. 12, they added Alabama guard Tyler Booker.<\/p>\n

A safe pick, Booker should have no problem succeeding in the NFL. That doesn’t mean the Cowboys will escape criticism since they ignored greater needs, such as wide receiver.<\/p>\n

They could recoup some goodwill if they land a receiver, or even a starting-caliber running back in Round 2. That’s not what CBS Sports<\/em>‘ Chris Trapasso expects them to do, however, as he has Dallas making another shocking selection in Round 2.<\/p>\n

At No. 44 overall, he has them bringing in Penn State safety Kevin Winston Jr. He praised Winston’s size and ability to turn the ball over.<\/p>\n

“The Cowboys get a sizable yet electric mover at safety who can generate turnovers and thump as a tackler.” \u2014\u00a0Trapasso, CBS Sports<\/em><\/p>\n

Safety isn’t a huge need with Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson on the roster, but both are in the final year of their respective deals. Winston has the tools to be a starter and would seamlessly step into the role in 2026, while allowing the Cowboys to save some money at the position.<\/p>\n

Trapasso also predicts Round 3 and continues to focus on defense for Dallas. In his prediction, the Cowboys take South Carolina defensive end Kyle Kennard at No. 76.<\/p>\n

Kennard would fill a need, with DeMarcus Lawrence and Chauncey Golston leaving this offseason, but once again, the lack of offensive weapons could be their downfall in this scenario.<\/p>\n
