The Dallas Cowboys are projected to land another big-named wide receiver and special weapon for quarterback Dak Prescott next spring.
Dak Prescott’s Cowboys are off to a slow start, having dropped back-to-back games at home following a convincing Week 1 road win over the Cleveland Browns. Prescott has done his part, completing 60.7 percent of pass attempts for 851 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions.
But once again, the Cowboys are lacking a consistent playmaking No. 2 wide receiver to help Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. Jalen Tolbert is second in receiving behind Lamb with 136 yards, and veteran Brandin Cooks has just eight catches for 75 yards and one touchdown.
In their latest 2025 first-round NFL mock draft, CBS Sport projects that the Cowboys will finally fill the No. 2 receiver hole and help Dak Prescott by landing Ohio State Buckeyes star Emeka Egbuka in the 2025 NFL Draft:

Emeka Egbuka would have been one of the first wide receivers taken in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he surprised the football world in January by announcing that he was returning to college.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound wide receiver has 14 receptions for 266 yard and one touchdown over his first three games of 2024. A renowned deep threat specialist and route-running guru, Egbuka is the type of player that could help the Dak Prescott-led offense reach another level.
Dak Prescott Needs More Help On Offense
The Cowboys haven’t had a true No. 2 wide receiver since Amari Cooper in 2021, whom Jerry Jones curiously traded to the Cleveland Browns in a cap-saving move two years ago. Cooks and Tolbert haven’t been able to fill that void, and Jones can’t wait around forever on one of them to step up.
Whether it’s at the trade deadline, 2025 free agency or the draft, it’s imperative that the Cowboys land another stud receiver to help Prescott and Lamb. As the Baltimore Ravens showed in Week 3, defending the Dallas offense is that much easier when Lamb isn’t taking over games.
