First-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer will need grace navigating the 2025 season. It’s his first season as a head coach in his NFL career, he is missing two stars on defense to begin the season (Trevon Diggs and DeMarvion Overshown), and the Cowboys have the fifth-toughest schedule with opponents combining for a .557 winning percentage.

George Pickens has a lot of upside to his game. The Cowboys covet high-round draft picks who don’t fully pan out on other teams, hence why they traded a 4th-round pick for Jonathan Mingo last October. If the Cowboys bank successfully on the potential, George Pickens could have a great year and stay with the team long-term or land a bigger deal in next year’s free agency.

Stephon Gilmore is one of the bigger names remaining in free agency. The former first-round pick, 2019 Defensive Player of the Year, and 5-time Pro Bowler remains unemployed and seeking a spot on one of the rosters. Gilmore has suitors, and will likely have his pick, but would it make sense for the Dallas Cowboys to reunite with their former player from 2023?

Some could suggest Amari Cooper is hitting the dreaded 30-year-old decline for wide receivers. Cooper turns 31 in June, and receivers usually decay when they hit that mark. For whatever reason, 2024 was not his year. Playing with the Cleveland carousel of quarterbacks, to getting inserted into a new offense in Buffalo, might have just not been a good schematic fit for the veteran receiver. Perhaps returning to familiar territory would be good for Cooper to spend the next few years playing at a high level.

The NFL Draft culminated last weekend, resulting in nine new rookies on the Dallas Cowboys. This is Brian Schottenheimer’s first NFL Draft as a head coach, and it’s evident what he wants in players: toughness, leaders, and intangibles. Pick by pick, we’ll analyze what each player can bring to the Dallas Cowboys in 2024 and why many experts say this is an A-grade for America’s Team.

The NFC East hosts the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles, the NFC Championship runner-up Washington Commanders, the Dallas Cowboys, and the New York Giants. All eyes are on this division to see if they continue their success in 2025. A huge indicator of their anticipated success is the NFL Draft, so we grade each team on who had the better draft.

Draft week is here, and all the preparation is about to come to a close. After months of discussion surrounding the top players at each position, it is time to give recognition to some of the more unheralded names you may not have heard about. I am a firm believer you can still find starting… read more
