The 2025 NFL Draft is less than a month away and this year's rotation lands in Green Bay, WI, where 257 prospects will see their dreams become a reality. Between now and then hundreds of thousands of mock drafts will be conducted online.
For the Dallas Cowboys, who hold the No. 12 overall pick, mocks have varied significantly, featuring names like Boise State's Ashton Jeanty, Michigan's Will Johnson, and Missouri's Armand Membou. However, according to the Pro Football Focus mock draft simulator, one name that consistently stands out for Dallas is Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, who is ranked as PFF's No. 3 overall prospect in this year's draft class.
After a wave of defensive acquisitions in free agency, the Cowboys will need to focus on finding another reliable target for QB Dak Prescott, who is recovering from a season-ending hamstring injury, and a playmaker to complement All-Pro WR CeeDee Lamb. McMillan can be just that guy for an offense that will now be led under the direction of first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
The 6-foot-4, 219-lb wideout's talents were on full display during the past two seasons. McMillan went on to record 174 receptions for 2,721 yards and 18 touchdowns between 2023 and 2024. At the conclusion of last season, the Junior wideout was named a Consensus All-American, a First-team All-Big 12 selection, and a finalist for the Fred Biletnikoff Award, which was won by Colorado's Travis Hunter.
The highly touted playmaker's size and speed are what stand out the most. During his Pro Day, scouts clocked McMillan at a 4.48 40-yard dash time. He possesses strong yard-after-catch ability, is a good route runner, and is a physical run blocker.
What truly elevates McMillan’s game, though, is his football IQ. He reads coverages exceptionally well and understands how to manipulate defenders to create space. Whether he’s winning on deep routes, working the sidelines, or making clutch third-down grabs, McMillan consistently proved to be the focal point of Arizona’s offense.
Pairing a playmaker like McMillan with Lamb would instantly give Dallas one of the best WR duos in the league. With his added skill set coupled with Lamb's abilities, it would pose a nightmare for opposing defenses.
