Dallas Cowboys 2025-2026 Season

NFL Draft: Cowboys select Tyler Booker in first round
The Dallas Cowboys selected Alabama offensive guard Tyler Booker with the 12th overall pick in the NFL Draft. FOX 4's Jeff Kolb and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Nick Harris break down the pick and what was happening in the moments leading up to the pick being announced.
Big picture view:
The Cowboys are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 7-10 season.
This time around they will have a new coach, former offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.
Quarterback Dak Prescott is also expected to return from a hamstring tendon avulsion that ended his season in Week 9.
Prescott enters the season 2,746 yards behind Tony Romo for the most passing yards in Cowboys history.
The Cowboys are hopeful a healthier season could lead them back to the playoffs.
