The 2025 NFL Draft saw its share of notable picks, with several teams making questionable choices. Among them, the Dallas Cowboys' selection of Tyler Booker at No. 12 raised eyebrows, especially considering their dire need for a wide receiver to support Dak Prescott. With CeeDee Lamb dominating their receiving corps, many questioned the decision to invest in a guard instead of addressing their clear offensive gaps.

Similarly, Kenneth Grant's selection as a defensive tackle by the Miami Dolphins at No. 13 was surprising, as he was not universally regarded as a first-round talent. The Dolphins opted for size over established impact players, which could backfire in a draft rich with talent in the trenches. The Carolina Panthers' decision to draft wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan at No. 8 also stood out, as they neglected pressing defensive needs in a year when their defense struggled significantly.

Other questionable choices included the Atlanta Falcons' pick of James Pearce Jr. at No. 26, where they traded away a valuable future first-round pick, and the New York Giants selecting quarterback Jaxson Dart at No. 25, amidst speculation of desperation in their quarterback situation. As the dust settles, these decisions will be scrutinized closely.
