Jerry Jones made a key decision for the Dallas Cowboys by drafting Tyler Booker with the 12th overall pick. The message is very clear: improve protection for their star quarterback, Dak Prescott.
āIām super excited. Blessed to be a Cowboy. Great tradition of great offensive linemen. Iām excited to follow all those who came before me. I canāt wait to get on the phone with Dak. Get him the protection he needs. Make sure he goes clean every single game. Just so excited to be a Cowboy.ā
The Cowboys havenāt won a Super Bowl in nearly three decades, and while they needed playmakers, the offensive line was also a priority. Booker is a star who can perform at the highest level for the next 15 years.
Who did the Cowboys draft in 2025?
The Dallas Cowboys drafted Tyler Booker from Alabama. After Zack Martinās retirement, the Cowboys needed to protect Prescott despite some very tempting options at the tight end position and also at wide receiver.
Now, after strengthening the offensive line, the Cowboys can focus on other positions such as running back, defensive lineman, and of course, wide receiver. In recent days, there have been strong rumors about a potential interest in trading for George Pickens with the Steelers.
