The Dallas Cowboys are looking to strengthen Dak Prescott’s offense in the 2025 NFL Draft — here’s every pick they hold, round by round.
The Dallas Cowboys are heading into the 2025 NFL Draft with a clear goal: to retool the roster and strengthen the supporting cast around quarterback Dak Prescott.
Prescott remains the face of the franchise, but with key contributors from previous years departing or aging, the pressure is on the Cowboys’ front office to find young, impactful talent. Whether it’s adding protection on the offensive line, boosting the receiving corps, or reinforcing the backfield, every pick matters.
Armed with a total of 10 selections, as of today, including multiple compensatory picks and several acquired via trade, the Cowboys are well-positioned to make noise in the 2025 NFL Draft. Fans are eager to see how the team’s draft strategy will align with building a stronger foundation around their franchise quarterback.

2025 NFL Draft: What do the Cowboys need?
There are several key positions the Cowboys need to address in this year’s draft, particularly on offense. While the team signed Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams in the offseason, depth at running back remains a concern. However, with Jerry Jones historically hesitant to invest high draft capital in the position, it’s unlikely Dallas will target a running back early.
Another priority is finding a reliable wide receiver to support CeeDee Lamb and ease his target load. The Cowboys are expected to explore receiver options in the early rounds, though it’s unlikely they’ll use their No. 12 overall pick on that position. Instead, they may look to add talent at wideout in the second or third rounds to strengthen their receiving corps without sacrificing top-tier draft value.
2025 NFL Draft: What will the Cowboys do about Dak Prescott?
In recent weeks, several rumors have emerged suggesting the Cowboys could consider trading Dak Prescott to acquire additional draft capital. However, as of now, Prescott remains the team’s starting quarterback, and the expectation is that the front office will focus on building a stronger roster around him.

If the Cowboys stick with Prescott, they’re expected to use the majority of their draft picks on offensive positions—particularly at running back, wide receiver, and along the offensive line. Strengthening these areas could provide Prescott with the support he needs to lead the team deeper into the postseason.
