Week 9 of the 2024-25 NFL season has concluded, and for some teams, the 2025 NFL Draft is the only source of optimism. For others, like the Dallas Cowboys, the upcoming week is crucial—fail to perform, and their postseason hopes may be extinguished, unless a miracle occurs.
For those with their sights on the draft, the Cowboys currently sit just outside the top 10.
If the draft were to occur today, the New England Patriots would have the No. 1 overall pick, followed by the Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers, and Cleveland Browns in the top five.
With seven teams at a 2-7 record, the draft order will likely change in the coming weeks.
The 2025 NFL Draft will take place in Green Bay, Wisconsin, with the first round on Thursday, April 24. Rounds 2 and 3 are scheduled for Friday, April 25, and the final rounds will take place on Saturday, April 26.

Trevon Diggs’ latest injury update is the last thing the Cowboys’ defense wanted
The already strained defense faces more challenges as Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs has missed another practice day.
Player health has been a significant concern for the Dallas Cowboys this season, and there seems to be no change in their fortune. Diggs unexpectedly missed Wednesday’s camp, joining a long list of injured defenders. Initially, his injury was undisclosed, but Diggs later revealed that he was dealing with a calf issue, stating he was “working through it,” which includes missing practice once again.
According to Jon Machota, while the Cowboys welcomed back Brandon Aubrey from jury duty, Diggs will spend this session with the rehab group.
The Dallas defense has faced considerable struggles this season, but it’s difficult to critique them too harshly. Key players like Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, Sam Williams, and DaRon Bland have all been sidelined at various times, with replacements like Marshawn Kneeland and Caelen Carson also injured.
Adding Diggs to this list feels particularly concerning given the number of injuries already affecting the team. Diggs missed all but two games in 2023 due to a torn ACL, and they have yet to see him and Bland play together this season. While there is hope for Bland’s return, Diggs’ status remains a concern.
