The Dallas Cowboys have had a solid first two nights of work in the 2025 NFL draft.

There was some initial frustration when they didn't select an offensive playmaker in Round 1, but rather went with Alabama guard Tyler Booker. Despite the disappointment, no one could argue that Booker wasn't a good pick.

On Day 2, they might have done even better. Dallas landed two potential starters with Boston College EDGE Donovan Ezeiruaku at No. 44 and East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel at No. 76. The Cowboys don't have a pick in Round 4, but are scheduled to make seven selections on Day 3.

Here's a look at who they could target during the final day of the draft, starting with Shedeur Sanders, who is shockingly still on the board.
