BEST CASE: Ranking The TOP NFL Draft Outcomes For The Dallas Cowboys | Will Downs Fall To No. 12?

Dallas Cowboys face a franchise-defining draft: Should they stand pat at No. 12 or swing big for game-changing talent? Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool break down best-case scenarios, from the fantasy of acquiring Browns superstar Myles Garrett to targeting elite defenders like Mansoor Delane, Sonny Styles, or Caleb Downs. They dissect bold trade-up options, including blockbuster moves involving stars like Josh Sweat, as well as clever trade-down strategies to maximize day-two draft picks and deepen the defensive roster. 

Does Dallas risk a top pick on another O-lineman like Spencer Fano or Francis Mauigoa, or focus on fixing a defense that hit historic lows? The hosts spotlight intriguing draft pairings—such as Delane with Cashius Howell—while debating the pitfalls of reaching for need over talent. With speculation swirling around offensive prospects like Jeremiyah Love and Carnell Tate, the episode asks: Can the Cowboys avoid costly misfires and build a contender for 2026?
