Cowboys' Draft Surprise: Passing on WR for Unconventional Pick at No. 12

By Scores.wiki Staff · March 25, 2026 at 09:37 PM ET

The Dallas Cowboys, eyeing the 2025 NFL draft, are considering selecting a top tight end in the first round instead of a wide receiver to complement All-Pro CeeDee Lamb. Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland are potential first-round picks who could provide the Cowboys with a No. 1 tight end option, enhancing their passing game significantly.

Current tight end Jake Ferguson, while solid, may not offer the same high ceiling as Warren or Loveland. The Cowboys could benefit from the immediate contributions of these top tight end prospects, as they look to build for the future and potentially fill a gap in their offensive lineup.

Warren, known for his athleticism, hands, and versatility, and Loveland, praised for his route-running and catching ability, are considered elite players in the draft. Selecting either of these tight ends could be a strategic move by the Cowboys to strengthen their passing game and provide quarterback Dak Prescott with additional weapons.
