2025 Cowboy Draft

[UK Cowboy]

I keep trying to talk myself into wanting Golden at #12, because he just seems like the kind of guy the team is going to pick.
Golden played 3 seasons and I know you can't go by just stats in College:
2022 Hou: 38 Rec 584 yards
2023 Hou : 38 Rec 404 yards (injury ended season a little early)
2024 Tex: 58 Rec 987 yards

Last year he had only 2 what I would call "monster stat games" (both OT games) and more than half of his games he had under 70 yards receiving. The two monster games were of course in two of the biggest games of the season which is a good thing. But for a guy with such good speed (4.29 40 at the combine) at the College level you would have expected a little more. I also feel like if we took the things Dak was really good at and the things he wasn't as great at, that hitting a guy on a pure go route or a post or even a crossing pattern when a guy is at 100% top speed fall into the not as great category. I think that is part of why we have so many curls and the such. We don't know what Schotty's offense will be but I'm just not sure Golden is a good choice for us at 12. However, we do know Schotty will likely run a lot of PAP which Dak is great at and if we do have a good running game, a guy with Golden's speed on a PAP could be a huge weapon for us.

I see this as important because I still think it's extremely likely they take WR in round 1. I just can't get beyond McMillan as the very clear #1 choice and then Burden for me and then Golden and Egbuka as kind of even and up to the beholder. I still feel like if any of Burden, Golden or Egbuka are there in the 2nd round it would just be an incredible gift for us but I think all go in the first or at the latest, the early second. So, we either take the one we like or we probably miss on all 4

To me, McMillan is the only WR worth 12. There are 3-4 guys including Golden that would look good in the early 20s. It's like taking RB Hampton at 12, you're getting a good player at a position of need, but it's a reach on Golden IMO

That would take a haul IMO
1st and 2nd this year, 1st next year

I don't think it is us. Just an interesting draft note. Although if Hunter fills two needs with a top 10 talent player I can see him being worth it.

I think if you take Hunter that high, you have to let him play both, despite the risks

Hopefully if this is true we are looking to add a high vet player with a large salary for a later pick ala Cooks and Gilmore. I've said all off season that is how I think we will spend some of the cap space we cleared up. Hopefully, we NOT looking at trading one of our prime picks

It's possible, but why announce that to the world? I have zero confidence in anything the guy says these days

Yahoo is indicating that #1 on their list of tradeable Cowboys is Parsons and that the Cowboys are already receiving trade package offers for him

He is probably just about the #1 most desirable non-QB in the league ignoring contract demands, so I'm not surprised. IMO he isn't going anywhere unless he banged both Jerry and Stephen's wives...

i want to agree with you but my gut says we've seen the last of him in a Cowboys uniform

If we had anyone but Jerry I would just laugh that stupid shit off. He will pay a 31 year old QB with 2 season ending leg injuries $5M a year more than Josh Allen but wont pay market value for a 25 year old who is one of the best pass rushers in the game? Great

Three 1sts minimum. Otherwise except the Nico treatment

I'd be shocked but you never know I guess. In theory, every player has his price

 

[tomodach10]

You think we could trade Dak to the steelers??

Absolutely not. We could have a year ago. He is impossible to trade right now

He would be a good fit there.

He would. He is a great fit here. They are just paying him $7M per year more than they should be, as has been the case for years

just saw a trade rumor on Parsons where we send him to New England for 2025 1st (#4), 2026 1st, 2025 2nd (#38), 2027 3rd and 2025 #144

I would hate it, but that's at least in the ballpark of the necessary compensation. Likely that Ward, Hunter and Carter are the first 3 picks, making the 4th pick Mason Graham or Ashton Jeanty.

I really don't want to see Parson's go, but if it is, AFC would be better.

if Carter is gone at 4 they could trade down from #4, 5 or 6 spots and get McMillian plus maybe a 2nd & 3rd
