Best NFC 2025 NFL Draft picks<\/p>\n

USA TODAY’s Tyler Dragon breaks down which teams in the NFC drafted the best this year.<\/p>\n

Sports Seriously<\/p>\n

The NFC has been the weaker of the two conferences in recent memory, but the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> continue to fall short year after year.<\/p>\n

Despite recent regular-season success, quarterback Dak Prescott<\/a> has yet to lead Dallas beyond the divisional round in the postseason. The Cowboys<\/a> have not been in the NFC Championship game since they won the Super Bowl in 1995.<\/p>\n

According to the latest Super Bowl odds<\/a>, the Cowboys are currently priced at +6600, placing them behind 18 other teams with better odds.<\/p>\n

Dallas is one year removed from three consecutive 12-5 finishes but finished third in the NFC East in 2024 with a record of 7-10. The silver lining? There hasn\u2019t been a repeat division champion in the NFC East for the last 20 seasons. The NFL is known for its parity and the NFC East is a prime example of that trend each year.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys have made relatively few headlines this offseason and have engaged in minimal transactions. This is largely because of the uncertainty surrounding contract negotiations – or the lack thereof – with their star defensive player, Micah Parsons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The most significant offseason move occurred when the team parted ways with head coach Mike McCarthy following the regular season and\u00a0hired offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as its new head coach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new coaching staff quickly focused on rebuilding the once-dominant offensive line by selecting Alabama guard Tyler Booker<\/a> with the 12th overall pick in the draft. With Zack Martin’s retirement, addressing the offensive line became a pressing need.<\/p>\n

Dallas faced multiple injuries to key players last season and will rely on returning a healthy squad in 2025. With an offensive core led by All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb<\/a>, “America’s Team” hopes it can end a 30-year Super Bowl drought.<\/p>\n

Below is a look at Dallas’ opponents for the 2025 NFL season.<\/p>\n

As they do every year, the Cowboys will play two games against each of their NFC East opponents at home and on the road.<\/p>\n

In addition, they will play all NFC North teams and all AFC West teams once as part of the NFL’s rotating schedule.<\/p>\n

The final three opponents \u2013 Panthers and Cardinals in the NFC and the Jets in the AFC \u2013 are based on their (third-place) finish in the division.<\/p>\n

NFL SCHEDULE RELEASE 2025: When is the league announcing it this year?<\/a><\/p>\n
