The Dallas Cowboys made strategic moves in the 2025 NFL Draft, first selecting Alabama guard Tyler Booker to fill the void left by the retirement of All-Pro Zack Martin. Subsequently, they drafted Boston College standout Donovan Ezeiruaku in the second round, addressing the departure of edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence, who signed with the Seahawks.

Despite not being high on the Cowboys' radar prior to the draft, Ezeiruaku, a former ACC Defensive Player of the Year, is poised to make an impact with his impressive pass-rushing skills and ability to complement Micah Parsons. With 16.5 sacks in his last season, he brings significant talent to a team aiming to compete with the Philadelphia Eagles.
