The first round of the NFL Draft typically lasts about three and a half to four hours. Each team has ten minutes to make their selection, and some teams do not use the full amount of time. For this reason, we estimate that the Cowboys' pick at number 12 will occur approximately an hour to an hour and a half into the show.
The Dallas Cowboys need to get this pick right. After making the playoffs for three consecutive years, they finished last season with a 7-10 record, missing out on a postseason appearance.
Dallas has selected an offensive and defensive lineman in the first round during the past three drafts, and it might be time for them to make a flashier pick. Prior to Tyler Smith in 2022, Mazi Smith in 2023, and Tyler Guyton in 2024, the Cowboys hit home runs by taking perennial All-Pro players Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb in 2020 and 2021.
It might be time for Jerry Jones to take a flyer on another wide receiver to get Dak Prescott some help and take pressure off Lamb. Tetairoa McMillan from Arizona and Matthew Golden from Texas could be intriguing options at pick 12 if they are still on the board.
McMillan is a big-bodied wide receiver who excels in the red zone, and Golden is a speedster who can take the top off a defense.
