Cowboys roster needs following the 2025 NFL Draft

What a difference a week makes! Well, at least we hope it does. That’s where so many fanbases sit following the 2025 NFL Draft, wondering how this year’s crop of rookies will help their teams’ fortunes next season and beyond. That may be even truer for the Dallas Cowboys than other franchises thanks to their heavy reliance on the draft for roster improvement.

Shortly before last week’s festivities, we broke down the Cowboys’ needs after about a month of free agency. Follow the link for the details, but here was the list at that time:

  1. Running back
  2. Wide receiver
  3. Cornerback
  4. Defensive tackle
  5. Offensive tackle
  6. Defensive end
  7. Linebacker
  8. Guard/Center
  9. Tight end
  10. Quarterback
  11. Safety
  12. Special teams

Since then, Dallas has added nine new players through the draft and several others as undrafted free agents.
