The Cowboys need to add a wide receiver talent in this draft, but how they go about it is important.

The Dallas Cowboys must come out of the 2025 NFL draft with a good wide receiver. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to convince you that the team spun its wheels when trying to find a quality complementary receiver for CeeDee Lamb. In recent years, the team has used the draft, free agency, and even trades to find the missing piece, but each time, they have come up short.

If you looked back over the last several years, you might be surprised to see just how much the Cowboys have struggled with this. In each of the last eight seasons, the team has had a completely different player finish as the WR2. Not one duplicate!
