With Dallas having such a glaring need at running back, the Heisman runner-up Jeanty has been the favorite to be picked by the Cowboys in the first round.

NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein has projected the Cowboys to select Ole Miss defensive tackle Walter Nolen, following the 49ers' pick of Mason Graham just one selection earlier.

ESPN analyst Matt Miller's latest NFL mock draft has the Dallas Cowboys boosting their offense in the 2025 draft.

The Heisman finalist is fresh off a dominant 2024 campaign, nearly toppling one of college football’s most historic records. He rushed for 2,497 yards during the regular season, falling just short of Barry Sanders’ all-time record of 2,628 yards. Jeanty added another 104 yards in the Fiesta Bowl loss to Penn State.

The Dallas Cowboys have completed another immensely disappointing season. After failing to contend for a playoff spot, Dallas parted ways with Mike McCarthy, hiring Brian Schottenheimer as his replacement.

The NFL Draft is quickly approaching, and with a new coaching staff still coming together under Brian Schottenheimer, no one truly knows which direction the Dallas Cowboys will go once they are finally on the clock.

The Cowboys’ bread and butter is the NFL Draft. The hiring of Brian Schottenheimer has clouded Dallas with doubt, but fans still have a bright future to potentially look forward to. 2025’s draft class has depth in every position of need for the Cowboys.
