The Dallas Cowboys entered the 2025 NFL Draft facing skepticism from fans and analysts alike.
Concerns about their draft strategy and the need for immediate impact players loomed large.
However, by the end of the draft, the Cowboys had not only addressed key areas of need but also earned some of the highest draft grades in the league. Their performance has been widely regarded as one of the most successful in recent memory.
Strategic selections and bold moves
The Cowboys‘ draft strategy was centered around strengthening their offensive and defensive lines, areas that had shown vulnerability in the previous season. In the first round, they selected offensive guard Tyler Booker from Alabama with the 12th overall pick.
This move was particularly significant given the retirement of long-time stalwart Zack Martin. Booker is expected to step into a starting role immediately, providing stability and protection for quarterback Dak Prescott.
In the second round, Dallas made a notable selection by picking edge rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku from Boston College. Ezeiruaku was projected by many analysts to be a first-round talent, and his availability in the second round was seen as a steal.
His addition bolsters the Cowboys‘ pass-rushing capabilities and adds depth to their defensive front.
Other key picks included cornerback Shavon Revel Jr., linebacker Shemar James, and defensive tackles Jay Toia and Tommy Akingbesote. These selections demonstrate the Cowboys’ commitment to building a formidable defense capable of competing at the highest level.
Acknowledgment from analysts and fans
The Cowboys’ draft class has received widespread acclaim from analysts and fans. Pro Football Focus (PFF) awarded Dallas one of the highest draft grades in the league, praising their ability to identify and select players who fit their system and needs. This recognition has been met with enthusiasm from the fanbase, many of whom were previously critical of the team’s draft strategies.
Owner Jerry Jones expressed confidence in the team’s selections, stating, “We got the guys we wanted, and we’re excited about their potential.” This sentiment reflects the organization’s belief that the 2025 draft will have a lasting positive impact on the team’s performance.
Looking ahead
With the 2025 NFL Draft now complete, the Dallas Cowboys have positioned themselves for success in the upcoming season.
By addressing critical areas and adding depth to both the offensive and defensive lines, they have set a strong foundation for future success. As the season approaches, all eyes will be on the Cowboys to see if their draft-day triumphs translate into on-field victories.
In conclusion, the Dallas Cowboys have silenced their critics and emerged as the NFL Draft’s biggest winners. Through strategic selections and a clear vision, they have demonstrated their commitment to building a championship-contending team. As the 2025 season unfolds, the impact of their successful draft will become increasingly evident.

Soud zastavil řízení kvůli daňovému úniku při MS 2006 i proti Zwanzigerovi
„S rozhodnutím jsem spokojený a můžu chodit se vztyčenou hlavou,“ uvedl Zwanziger.Obvinění z daňových úniků při pořádání světového šampionátu v Německu čelili také Wolfgang Niersbach, který Zwanzigera nahradil v čele svazu v roce 2012, a někdejší svazový sekretář Horst Schmidt. Oba se dohodli s úřady na zastavení řízení již loni a zaplatili pokuty.Kauza se táhla od roku 2015 a zabývaly se jí soudy v Německu i ve Švýcarsku. Trojice činovníků čelila obvinění, že zmanipulovali daňová přiznání za pořádání světového šampionátu tak, aby se svaz vyhnul vysokým daním.Podle prokuratury měli Zwanziger, Niersbach a Schmidt na daních zaplatit 13,7 milionu eur (nyní 341 milionů korun). Svaz v roce 2017 za MS, kterému se díky zisku bronzových medailí v Německu přezdívá „letní pohádka“, doplatil zpětně na daních přes 20 milionů eur. V případu figurovala také částka 6,7 milionu eur, která měla podle vyšetřovatelů tvořit tajný fond, jímž si Německo zajistilo vítězství ve volbě pořadatele šampionátu.

Casagrande é direto e crava técnico para seleção brasileira: “O melhor”
Casagrande em entrevista para podcast (Reprodução - YouTube) Casagrande não poupou críticas à CBF pela indefinição no comando técnico da seleção brasileira, após Carlo Ancelotti declinar da proposta ofertada e deu uma sugestão para entidade buscar planos alternativos: Abel Ferreira e Renato Gaúcho. Na visão do comentarista, caso Jorge Jesus, que é segunda alternativa da CBF, declinar de um eventual acerto, os treinadores de Palmeiras e Fluminense, respectivamente, deveriam ser consultados para o cargo. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Na minha opinião, o Abel Ferreira é o melhor de todos e tentaria tudo para convencê-lo a trabalhar com a nossa seleção para a Copa”, disparou Casagrande. “As nossas chances de fazer uma boa Copa são mínimas do jeito que as coisas estão e já estamos no limite de ficarmos sem comando”, complementou o ex-jogador.

Tennis adopted electronic line calling on clay and created a ball-mark monster
“Can you make it make sense?” Alex Eala asked after her defeat to Iga Świątek at the Madrid Open in April.Eala, a 19-year-old emerging talent from the Philippines, was not talking about her three-set loss, but rather a ball mark on the tournament’s red clay courts. Early in the match, Świątek hit a serve that the mark on the clay showed to be out, but no out call came: the electronic line calling (ELC) system determined it to be in.Advertisement“I mean, the mark is the physical, it’s the physical proof,” Eala said.The day after, Arthur Fils experienced an identical situation against Francisco Comesana.“It’s terrible,” the French men’s No. 1 said in an interview after the match.“It’s been a few weeks that now we play with the automatic line judges on clay. I got one serve that was maybe two or three […]
With fewer four-homer games than perfect games, why is one revered, and the other a quirk?
Dodgers manager Jim Tracy planned to pinch-hit for Shawn Green in the ninth inning on May 23, 2002, but the right fielder argued his way into one final at-bat. If a couple guys reached base, Green reasoned, he could have one more chance at history.Tracy relented, Green earned one more trip to the plate, and power met opportunity.AdvertisementThat afternoon in Milwaukee, Green became the 14th player in major-league history to hit four home runs in one game. That number has since swelled to 19, the latest being Eugenio Suárez, who belted four over the fence for the Diamondbacks last Saturday.Whenever the four-homer club adds a member, Green receives a few tweets or a text. He’ll find his name included in some MLB social media post.“It definitely pulls me back into relevance for that one day,” he said.It’s a rare feat, […]
Rozhodnutí, po němž Oktagon přišel o miliony. Derby nevyšlo, Čech míří do Edenu
Losování, ve kterém si bojovníci jen pár desítek minut po skončení akce určili pořadí, v němž postupně přicházeli k plachtě s graficky znázorněným pavoukem, čímž si vybrali čtvrtfinálového soupeře, gradovalo především v jeho samotném závěru. Polák Wawrzyniak svou volbou mohl rozhodnout právě o zmíněném federálním derby mezi Peňázem a Čepem, k čemuž ho hlasitě vybízelo i publikum.„Jotko! Jotko! Jotko!“ buráceli fanoušci jméno jednoho ze dvou „volných“ bojovníků. Jenomže houževnatý polský chasník si takticky vybral devětadvacetiletého českého střelce, jenž pro něj ve čtvrtfinále představuje přijatelnější měřítko. Suma sumárum k bitvě mezi Peňázem a Čepem tak nedošlo. Opět. Zlobu cítí také početný zástup českých a slovenských fanoušků.„Piotr nás asi tímto krokem všechny nas*al. Jeho rozhodnutí nás stojí tak milion eur (téměř 25 milionů korun). Kdybychom měli bitvu Čepa s Peňázem, tak si umím představit, že to něco udělá. Ale asi jsme nečekali, že si Piotr stoupne k Jotkovi,“ mrzí Ondřeje Novotného. Jako poslední v pořadí si totiž […]
