Dallas Cowboys 2025 4-round mock draft: Post-combine edition

What is your favorite mock draft so far?

Many of the top prospects for the upcoming draft met with potential suitors around the league, and competed in different drills, at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. The event is yet another tool to help with the evaluation process and gives us insight into potential prospects the Dallas Cowboys could be targeting.

With a little bit of more information at our disposal, we thought it would be a good time to predict who the Cowboys could select in the 2025 NFL Draft with their premium picks. Today, with the help of the Pro Football Focus simulator, we predicted one way the draft could go for the Cowboys in the early rounds.

*TRADE*

Steelers receive 1.12, 6.190; Cowboys receive 1.21, 2.53, 4.122

1.21 – RB Omarion Hampton, North Carolina

Omarion Hampton put on a show at the combine over the weekend and proved why he is one of the best, if not the best, running backs in the 2025 draft class. Drafting RBs in the first round is usually not the best strategy, but Hampton is an exception to the rule. Not only does he have the prototypical size to be a RB1 for the Cowboys, but he’s an elite athlete capable of carrying workload as a complete three-down back. He’d be a tremendous upgrade in Dallas.

2.44 – WR Jayden Higgins, Iowa State

Jayden Higgins was somewhat underrated heading into the combine this past weekend, but proved he’s one of the top wide receivers in the 2025 draft class. Due to his size/speed combination and his ability as a route runner, he compares favorably to Texans WR Nico Collins. He would be a perfect pairing playing on the outside as an “X” WR with CeeDee Lamb and give Dak Prescott another much-needed go-to receiving weapon.

2.53 – DT Alfred Collins, Texas

Alfred Collins is one of the best run defenders in the entire 2025 draft class and has upside as a pass rusher as well. With his size and length, he easily anchors down against the run and sheds blocks as a nearly immovable force in the middle of defensive line. He could potentially challenge Mazi Smith from Day 1 as a rookie for the starting 1-tech job or at the very least provide some much-needed depth and mass on the interior of Dallas’ DL.

3.76 – C Jared Wilson, Georgia

Jared Wilson missed an opportunity to prove his worth at the Senior Bowl when he unfortunately had to withdraw from the event, but more than made up for it with his performance at the combine. He was just a one year starter at Georgia, but his talent/movement skills are as good as any iOL prospect in the 2025 draft class. He could challenge to start in Dallas, allowing Cooper Beebe to kick over and replace Zack Martin.

*TRADE*

Cowboys received 4.108; Bills receive 4.122, 5.150

4.108 – CB Jacob Parrish, Kansas State

Jacob Parrish will get knocked a little for his size, but he checks all of the other boxes teams look for in a cornerback prospect and more than proved his skill set/talent at the combine over the weekend. He’s tough in coverage and run support, is smooth with fast feet in his transition to click and close on the ball, and is one of the most athletic prospects at his position in the 2025 draft class. He could be a plug-and-play starter as a rookie in Dallas.
