The 2025 NFL draft is in everyone\u2019s rearview mirror now, and for the Dallas Cowboys, it went without them snagging a new wide receiver.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Cowboys added bodies to their offense via the draft, including offensive lineman Tyler Booker and a couple of running backs, but not taking a wide receiver prompts more questions about the depth of Dallas\u2019 receiving room behind star\u00a0CeeDee Lamb.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0Cowboy owner Jerry Jones\u00a0gave fans hoping for the team to shore up its WR room something to hold on to.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Via Kevin Patra of\u00a0NFL.com:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt definitely was a big-time thought, but the train has not left the station if improvement is needed from what we\u2019ve got on campus,\u201d Jones said Saturday, via the team\u2019s official transcript. \u201cI\u2019m looking at the same sheet maybe you got in front of you that I have in front of me and it shows our No. 114 pick trade to Carolina for Jonathan Mingo. Well, we\u2019ve obviously known that.<\/p>\n

Dallas Cowboys can still make moves to address WR depth<\/b><\/h2>\n

Although they ignored the wide receiver position in the draft, the Cowboys made intriguing moves following the conclusion of the event. Dallas signed undrafted free agents and Texas Tech Red Raiders football product\u00a0Josh Kelly<\/a>\u00a0and former Oregon Ducks football wideout\u00a0Traeshon Holden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In any case, the Cowboys can continue searching for new downfield weapons in the NFL free agent market, with the likes of Keenan Allen and former Dallas star Amari Cooper still available.<\/p>\n
