There's an inherent question about the Dallas Cowboys' trade for quarterback Joe Milton that will go a long way in determining its success in the future. The Cowboys were admittedly looking into adding a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft following the departure of Cooper Rush in free agency.

The New England Patriots can use the pick acquired for Joe Milton III to trade back into Round 1 of the 2025 NFL draft.

The Joe Milton III trade helped the New England Patriots slightly move up the draft board. Some will argue until the cows come home that the Patriots should have gotten more for their promising young quarterback. They ultimately decided to ship Milton and a seventh-round draft pick to the Dallas Cowboys for a fifth-rounder.
