The first mock drafts for the 2025 NFL Draft are starting to trickle out now that the college football season is over. Draft guru Dane Brugler sees the Cowboys taking Mizzou WR Luther Burden at #12 overall, but they'd be passing up one of the best players in the draft. Would you care if that best player was a Michigan DT in Kenneth Grant, a position and school that's haunted them in the past?

00:00We go down the list. Couple other teams get their jets Panthers. They take Mason Graham
00:19from Michigan defensive tackle, who, by the way, I think there's a decent chance that
00:24a Michigan defensive tackle ends up here in Dallas. It's not impossible. And I think at
00:29that high at 12. Yeah. Either if Mason Graham fell to them, that would be a fall. Mason
00:34Graham would definitely be near the top. And then I think Kenneth Grant from Michigan,
00:40the other defensive tackle, he would also be in contention there, which I saw. I don't
00:44think I've ever seen a big man move as fast as I saw Kenneth Grant from Michigan run when
00:48he was doing 40 training last week when I was out there.
00:51That's why I was out of the freak. Y'all told me he was. Oh, it's I, I, I need to film him
00:57running the 40 and show you. Cause it's going to be there. And there you go. Exactly. During
01:02his training though, it's stunning to see a big guy move as fast as he does. You get
01:07down the list a little bit. And when you get to number 12 and the Dallas Cowboys, this
01:12is from Dane Bruegler. There are a couple of really intriguing options on the board.
01:16The universal number one offensive lineman heading into this season. And still for most
01:21people, I think the number one offensive lineman, Will Campbell from LSU, who people think could
01:25be tackler guard, just kind of depends. Will Campbell's on the board. Ashton Gentee is
01:31on the board. The running back. If you're not totally sure about what you're seeing
01:35from if you're not totally sure what you're seeing from Jake Ferguson recently, Tyler
01:40Warren, that Penn state tight end that everybody's been in love with.
01:44Tyler Warren's on the board. James Pierce, the Tennessee edge rusher, super high upside.
01:48He's on the board. Cowboys pass on all of them, including Ashton Gentee, the local kid
01:54and the Cowboys go with Luther burden. The third wide receiver for Missouri in this situation,
01:59he says the Cowboys have to find more answers in the passing game outside of CD lamb burden
02:03is an explosive threat at all three levels, but does his best work with the ball in his
02:07hands becoming a running back after the catch. And this is what's terrifying to me about
02:13how the Cowboys might look at things is that burden I think is absolutely going to be in
02:17play here. And I like Luther burden. I think he's a good player. The problem is that whenever
02:22you're telling me the top trade of any receiver coming out of colleges, look what they do
02:27after the catch. I'm always like, I, that has not consistently translated enough for
02:32me from college to the NFL to feel like, Oh, you got the ball in his hands. He'll do something.
