As the NFL Draft approaches, all eyes are on the Dallas Cowboys, a team that consistently draws attention. The franchise has a number of areas to address, especially as they strive to build a competitive squad for the challenging NFC East, where they compete against the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders.
Many analysts and fans suggest that enhancing the offensive line should be a priority, particularly after the early retirement of guard Zack Martin, a likely future Hall of Famer. However, the Cowboys might also consider equipping Dak Prescott with an additional offensive asset. Without question, CeeDee Lamb stands out as the Dallas Cowboys’ premier receiver.
Throughout his career, the former Oklahoma standout has amassed 38 touchdowns and 6,339 receiving yards, making him Dallas’ main threat in the passing game. In 2024, he secured a four-year, $136 million contract extension. Lamb is a luminary, not only for the Cowboys but across the entire NFL. Nonetheless, Dallas may seek to identify a reliable No. 2 receiver in the Draft and could potentially find one with their 12th overall selection in the first round.
The Cowboys’ Front Office Has Their Sights on Luther Burden III As per Josh Liskiewitz of Pro Football Focus, the Dallas Cowboys are anticipated to choose wide receiver Luther Burden III with their 12th overall pick. “Burden registered 50 explosive receptions and caused 54 missed tackles after the catch over the past two years.
He is a ‘five-tool’ athlete, perfectly suited for the wide receiver role in the NFL. His first-round talent is comprehensive, showing the capability to excel in any receiver role within any offense,” stated Liskiewitz. Luther Burden III is a versatile receiver who can fill multiple roles. During his time with the Missouri Tigers in 2024, he accumulated 61 receptions for 676 yards and six touchdowns, along with contributing 115 rushing yards and two additional rushing touchdowns.
