The Dallas Cowboys are poised for significant moves ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, with two substantial trades on the table, as stated by owner Jerry Jones. While the team is not expected to move up in the draft, they may look to acquire veteran talent or trade back for additional picks. Among potential trade targets are George Pickens from the Steelers, who could complement CeeDee Lamb, and Lions' Jameson Williams, who boasts impressive metrics. Kenneth Walker III from the Seahawks could also be a viable option to address the running back position.

The Cowboys are also focused on acquiring a speedy wide receiver at the 12th overall pick. Coach Brian Schottenheimer emphasized speed as crucial for their offensive strategy. The Cowboys have a track record of selecting based on positional needs rather than solely on best-player-available strategies, which has led to mixed results in recent drafts. Dallas remains committed to Dak Prescott as their quarterback, ruling out drafting alternatives like Shedeur Sanders or Jaxon Dart.
