Dak Prescott is set to return from his 2024 hamstring injury to start the 2025 season. Could the Dallas Cowboys load up the offense in the NFL Draft? The Cowboys have had another interesting offseason, and it really does not feel all that promising approaching the 2025 NFL Season.
Only time will tell, but Dallas did not do anything of note in free agency and now have a brand-new head coach in Brian Schottenheimer. It just does not feel like a great situation overall, but the Cowboys will at least get Dak Prescott back from his 2024 hamstring injury.
If nothing else, the Cowboys could truly load up the offensive personnel for Dak Prescott in the 2025 NFL Draft, but what would a haul like that look like? Let's get into it.
Cowboys 2025 NFL Mock Draft: Loading up for Dak Prescott's return
12. Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
Omarion Hampton would be a good pick for the Dallas Cowboys with the 12th selection. He'd form a UNC backfield along with Javonte Williams, who signed with the team in free agency. Williams is clearly not a RB1 at the NFL level anymore, but he could be good in some short-yardage packages and to simply take the load off of Hampton at times, but getting an every-down running back should be the team's top priority in the 2025 NFL Draft.
44. Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
Getting another competent wide receiver should also be on the agenda as well. Tre Harris does profile as an "X" receiver in the NFL, and in my opinion, that is the type of receiver that this offense is missing. All of a sudden with Hampton and Harris, the Cowboys might be cooking, if you will, on offense.
CeeDee Lamb is still in the picture as well, so Dallas could return to having a top offense in the NFL.
76. Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Louisville
Now addressing the pass-rush with their final pick in the top-100, the Dallas Cowboys take Ashton Gillotte from Louisville in this NFL mock draft. Dallas has not re-signed Micah Parsons on a long-term deal, and I just have a feeling that is not going to be resolved anytime soon, unfortunately.
149. RJ Harvey, RB, UCF
Getting another running back in the 2025 NFL Draft would be a smart idea considering the class is so deep at the position. This could also put Javonte Williams on the roster bubble, as RJ Harvey from UCF is absolutely a player and someone who could compete for that primary RB2 role. The Cowboys have used three of their first four picks on offense.
174. Jack Nelson, OT, Wisconsin
Dallas will continue to stack prospects on the offensive side if the ball and take Jack Nelson from Wisconsin. The offensive line could use some help overall, so taking the best available OL player this late in the NFL Draft is a decent idea if you ask me.
204. Clay Webb, OG, Jacksonville State
Two picks in a row along the offensive line, the Cowboys grab Clay Webb from Jacksonville State and perhaps find themselves to primary backup players along the OL with some starter upside in a future season. Keeping the QB upright should be the main goal of any offense before anything else.
211. Kaden Prather, WR, Maryland
How about another wide receiver? Obviously Brian Schottenheimer is an offensive mind, and being that this is his first head coaching job, he may pound the table for a ton of offensive prospects to simply make life easier for the entire unit and to at least instill a top of depth at key positions.
217. Luke Lachey, TE, Iowa
Luke Lachey is one of the many draftable tight ends in the 2025 NFL Draft, so with the 217th pick, the Cowboys dip into the TE pool and grab Lachey. It's also never a bad thing to draft an Iowa tight end...
246. Elijah Williams, EDGE, Morgan State
The last pick in this Dallas Cowboys mock draft sees them taking Elijah Williams, a pass rusher from Morgan State.
What do you think; would this Cowboys mock draft load up the offense for Dak Prescott and help the team get back to their winning ways?
