There are a number of strategic plans that can be devised and executed in the NFL Draft. A year ago, the Rams had the idea to pair Florida State defensive linemen Jared Verse and Braden Fiske to compensate for the singular loss felt from Aaron Donald's retirement.

That will continue to be the case if they land the "game-changing" weapon Daniel Flick of SI.com selected for them in his latest first-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft. Flick has the Cowboys taking Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty at No. 12.

With franchise quarterback Dak Prescott and All-Pro wide receiver Ceedee Lamb back in the fold, the franchise is projected to add another playmaker to get the most out of the passing game, according to CBS Sports' new mock draft from Josh Edwards.
