The Dallas Cowboys claimed they were going to take "the best player on the board" with the 12th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and they decided to fill a need along their offensive line with the selection of Alabama Crimson Tide All-American guard Tyler Booker.

Grading a draft a mere hours after after the last pick is generally frowned on by the more hardcore football fan who knows that drafts can’t really be graded until three to four years after the fact.

On Day 2 of the NFL draft, the Cowboys have picks No. 44 and No. 76 overall. Both are pretty high and the Cowboys can potentially get an impact player in each round. The two pressing needs on Day 2 are wide receiver and running back. Dallas hosted numerous running backs at The Star, either as one of their national or Dallas day visits.
