The NFL Draft is just one day away and many are wondering what direction the Dallas Cowboys could go in the first round.

With the new batch of NFL talent incoming, the Cowboys could welcome a player at several different positions.

Wide receiver appears to be the growing consensus in Big D, and NFL insider Dianna Russini recently revealed two players she has heard the Cowboys are zeroing in on.

“Many sources around the league expect the Cowboys to target an offensive skill position with the No. 12 pick," Russini said. "Texas WR Matthew Golden and Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan are names that I’m hearing could interest Dallas.”

Either player would be a massive addition for Dallas, with both receivers providing unique skillsets.

McMillan and his massive 6-foot-4 frame would provide a redzone threat and perfectly complement CeeDee Lamb with his strong ability to locate and attack the ball.

Golden, meanwhile, is a speedster who would immediately stretch the offense.

If the Cowboys were to land either player, the offense would immediately be in better shape. Dallas struggled to move the ball at times during the 2024 campaign, so giving Dak Prescott as many playmakers as possible will help the team take a step forward.
