Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys have the 12th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, which starts on Thursday. Former NFL quarterback Chase Daniel wants the Cowboys to focus on getting more playmakers to help Dak Prescott.

On "The Facility" show, Daniel pointed out how the Cowboys have done well in the past by picking skill players early in the draft.

"If you look at the history, the last 15 years of the Dallas Cowboys first-round picks that are skilled players, CeeDee Lamb in 2020, All-Pro," Daniel said on Tuesday. 'Ezekiel Elliott, 2016, All-Pro. Dez Bryant, 2010, All-Pro. You've had really good success drafting skill players in the first round."

Daniel believes that with the offensive and defensive lines in good shape, Dallas should aim to add more talent at running back and wide receiver to give Prescott the support he needs.

"You got to get Dak some help," Daniel said. "I agree that offensive line is great. Defensive line is great. You have to be able to score points, and you got to have another running back, you got to have a wide receiver."

Daniels' top picks are running backs like Ashton Jeanty or wide receivers like Matthew Golden, Luther Burden, and Tetairoa McMillan. He especially likes Matthew Golden, calling him "extremely fast."

He added that CeeDee Lamb is already a strong route runner, and having Golden on the other side could open up many scoring opportunities for Prescott.
