A few weeks ago, it would have been absurd to suggest it. A few months ago, it would have been stupid to think even. But here, at the moment, it is sudden a realistic possibility and feeling is nothing less than euphoric. The Large receiver of Arizona, Tetairoa McMillan, is at stake for the Dallas Cowboys Choice n ° 12.
Considered by many as the Top WR in the draft of the NFL 2025, McMillan has long resembled an inaccessible target for cowboys. Dallas’ victories sequence at the end of the season seemed while guaranteed two months ago. However, the dashboards change constantly evolving and what once seemed a longhot has now become a realistic possibility with McMillan falling in the middle and even behind the parts of the first round on certain projections.
With a position scheduled at 11, McMillan is now at a Dallas strike distance. It is difficult not to think of the memorable fall of Ceedee Lamb to choose 17 thinking of this possibility. At 6 feet 5 inches and 212 pounds, McMillan is one of the most important and most accomplished perspectives of the draft class.
However, the L’Arizona star does not have the speed to be a difference in the NFL and should therefore fall into various team tips. The concerns is more Quentin Johnston than Mike Evans, naturally create many disparities, but for cowboys, this disparity could be a disguised blessing.
The dashboard time of 40 yards of McMillan will be essential for its stock of recovery. A low time of 4.5 seconds could ensure that it is in the top 10, but slow time could cause a slight free fall. On the market for an X Plug-And-Play X to Man outside, the cowboys need a WR which is large, strong enough and technical to beat the media coverage of the line. McMillan seems to be this man.
Although his speed may not be the game on the border, McMillan is a player who has prospered by other means as an university player. On the way to his record season in 2024 where he posted 84 receptions for 1319 yards, McMillan showed all the features of a dominant NFL WR.
Like the lamb, McMillan is a smooth athlete, showing fluidity in his breaks and run regular and net routes which are rare for a man of his size. His ball skills are the elite allowing him to be a factor in disputed situations, both short and deep.
If Tetairoa McMillan (T-Mac) falls at 12, Dallas Cowboys should not think twice. The addition of a dynamic player with his abilities would be a massive addition to the offensive. The T-Mac + Ceeede lamb would be so fun. pic.twitter.com/3gxx7sdgvm

McMillan understands how to beat the zone coverage and can find weak points with the facilitation of making it a good adjustment in the NFC East, area heavy. While cowboys move to more closely positioned training, it is necessary to add WRs that can block. McMillan’s size gives it an advantage in this regard, a bit like a tight end. He has experience in disappearance as a large niche, therefore the transition to tight training in the Brian Schottenheimer system would not be as important for other recruits.
Whether or not the teams have the Top Prospect Travis Hunter teams as WR or not, McMillan is a special WR that belongs to the next year this year right next to Hunter. His strengths on the ground do not require high -level speed, so a slow 40 times would not condemn him as a pro, even if it made him fall on the boards.
Combining someone like McMillan with the lamb would make cowboys a force with which it is necessary to count for the years to come. The LAMB veteran contract at high prices was considered well with a dominant limit player on a recruit agreement. The presence of McMillian as X will also release the lamb to continue to focus on the slit where it does most of its damage. McMillan could also compensate for the poor production of a group to underform you as Dallas last season.
Things will change considerably by the project weekend, but what seemed absurd only weeks ago only seems to be a realistic possibility.
