Dallas Cowboys target big-time Arizona receiver in latest NFL mock draft
Tetairoa McMillan is a hot commodity in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Multiple NFL teams have traded or cut big-time wide receivers over the past several weeks, opening up roster spots for younger, cheaper options — which is where McMillan comes into play.
The San Francisco 49ers traded Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders, which could put the 49ers in the market for a wide receiver with the No. 11 overall pick in the draft. The New York Jets, who have pick No. 7, released Davante Adams. And the Seattle Seahawks, who have the No. 18 overall pick, cut Tyler Lockett and are in the process of trading D.K. Metcalf.
McMillan to the Cowboys?
It’s the Dallas Cowboys, however, who have been linked to McMillan in ESPN’s latest two-round mock draft. ESPN draft analyst Jordan Reid predicts the Cowboys will draft McMillan with the No. 12 overall pick in the draft.
“The Cowboys desperately need a running mate for wide receiver CeeDee Lamb,” Reid wrote. “McMillan is a big-bodied target at 6-foot-4, 219 pounds with a good catch radius. He can also run well after the catch, ranking third in the FBS among receivers with 27 forced missed tackles. McMillan is capable of playing the slot and outside, making him an ideal WR2.”
McMillan, who caught 213 passes for 3,423 yards and 26 touchdowns during his three seasons at Arizona, did not compete in the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine over the weekend. The one weakness cited by draft analysts is McMillan’s speed, and NFL teams won’t get a look at it until he runs the 40-yard dash at Arizona’s pro day in two weeks.
McMillan has been projected to go as high as No. 5 in the draft to the Jacksonville Jaguars and as low as No. 19 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The highest draft pick in Arizona Wildcats history was Ricky Hunley, who was drafted No. 7 overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in 1984.
The 2025 NFL Draft is April 24-26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

PHOENIX – Sheriff’s officials in Maricopa County say a man has been arrested in connection with a case involving a Utah teen who was reported missing in late April.
What we know:
According to a May 5 statement from MCSO, 30-year-old Armando Sanchez-Lopez was arrested on April 29, after he was seen with the missing teen.
Investigators said the teen left Lehi City, Utah on April 24 in an unknown vehicle.
“Information provided by a family acquaintance indicated the juvenile may have been in Arizona and possibly being held against her will,” read a portion of the statement.
Dig deeper:
MCSO said it was determined that on the night of April 24, the acquaintance had provided transportation for the juvenile to a home in the area of Dysart Road and Maryland Avenue in Litchfield Park.
“The juvenile requested to be dropped off a short distance away and proceeded on foot. When the acquaintance attempted to follow, an unidentified adult male confronted him and reportedly brandished a rifle, prompting the acquaintance to leave the area,” read a portion of MCSO’s statement. “In the days following, the acquaintance received messages from the juvenile indicating she was being held against her will and was in need of assistance.”
On April 29, investigators said they received “updated information that the juvenile had returned to a residence in the area and had subsequently left on foot with an adult male toward another nearby address.” They later contacted the teen and the man, who turned out to be Sanchez-Lopez.
What’s next:
Per MCSO, Sanchez-Lopez has “five prior sexual related accusations involving several victims.” He is accused of sexual assault, sexual conduct with a minor, kidnapping, aggravated assault, custodial interference, and failure to comply with a court order.
Officials say MCSO’s Special Victims detectives are still investigating the case.

With the Arizona Cardinals’ top two draft picks, two players likely losing their starting jobs.
The Arizona Cardinals added seven new draft picks last month. With these additions, some players already on the roster could have new roles.
Two players in particular, who were slated to be starters, now likely find themselves in a backup role.
RB Tyler Allgeier
Allgeier finds himself in a similar situation to when he was in Atlanta. He played second fiddle to Bijan Robinson, one of the best running backs in the NFL. He signed a two-year, $12.25 million deal to join the Cardinals, expecting to start or at least have a prominent role in the offense.
But the Cardinals selected Jeremiyah Love third overall, so Allgeier finds him behind a young, dynamic back again.
OL Isaiah Adams
Adams began last season and ended last season as the starting right guard. He was slated to be the starting right guard again, but the Cardinals used their second-round pick to select guard Chase Bisontis. With the addition of Isaac Seumalo in free agency, both guard spots seem set, sending Adams to the bench.
