The second-round pick, Donovan Ezeiruaku from Boston College, brings elite production off the edge with over 16 sacks and 21 tackles for loss in 2024 alone. Though slightly undersized for a full-time edge and needing growth in run defense, his pass-rushing technique and quickness make him a strong candidate for immediate rotational snaps. In the third round, Dallas added long and rangy outside corner Shavon Revel Jr. out of East Carolina, a fluid mover with special teams value and size that’s hard to coach. Despite missing most of 2024 due to an ACL tear, his upside remains high if he can return to form.
On Day 3, the Cowboys doubled up at running back. First, they took Texas product Jaydon Blue, a dynamic weapon with speed and receiving ability, though his ball security and pass protection need refinement. Later in the seventh, they added Clemson’s Phil Mafah, a bruising back who logged over 1,100 yards in 2024 and showed toughness by playing through a shoulder injury. Mafah brings vision and physicality but lacks open-field agility.
The defense also saw additions with Florida linebacker Shemar James, an athletic and rangy blitzer with room to grow into an every-down role, and UCLA defensive tackle Jay Toia, a high-ceiling project with a late football background. Oregon's Ajani Cornelius offers swing tackle potential with size and strength, while Maryland’s Tommy Akingbesote rounds out the class as a developmental piece on the defensive line.
Throughout the clip, Drew and Rob provide detailed insights into each pick's fit, NFL potential, and what it says about Dallas’ 2025 draft strategy. Whether you’re grading the Cowboys draft class, reacting to their selection of Tyler Booker, or following the full Dallas draft recap, this segment delivers everything you need to know about the Cowboys draft picks 2025.
