Stephen Jones 'Could See a Situation' Where Cowboys Trade Down in 2025 NFL Draft

The No. 12 pick in the 2025 NFL draft is the highest selection the Dallas Cowboys have had since 2021, but the team could be open to moving down the board.

During an appearance on 105.3 The Fan, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said, "I don't necessarily see us moving up, based on the way the board is coming together. But could see a situation where we move down."

The last time the Cowboys had the No. 12 pick in 2021, they landed edge-rusher Micah Parsons, who has gone on to become a four-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro.

Dallas moved down two spots from the No. 10 pick after trading with the Philadelphia Eagles and still managed to land a blue-chip prospect, so Jones could be hoping for a similar result this year.

In its latest mock draft, B/R's NFL Scouting Department predicted that the Cowboys would use the No. 12 pick to select Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan and pair him with star wideout CeeDee Lamb.

"McMillan is a great fit alongside Lamb," B/R NFL scout Dame Parson said. "He plays all three wide receiver positions/alignments. A physical X-receiver with developmental potential is exactly what the Cowboys need. McMillan runs routes and separates from coverage. The 6'4" target is a ball-winner with outstanding body control, leaping ability and hand strength to make contested catches look routine."

The 2025 NFL draft is just over a week away on April 24, so the Cowboys will have to decide their plan for their first-round pick soon.
