Cowboys' Draft Picks: Bain & Terrell Ignite Defense

On April 3rd, the Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for a defensive overhaul with two first-round

picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, just weeks, away on April 23rd through 25th in Pittsburgh.

They beefed up in free agency to fix the league's worst past defense, but miss big online

backers and edge rushers like Max Crosby and Trey, Hendrickson.

Bleacher Report laid out a killer vision where Dallas grabs Miami's Rubin Bane Jr. first,

the ACC defensive player of the year with 54.

Tackles?

Fifteen and a half tackles for loss, and nine and a half sacks last season.

Then at pick 20, they snack Clemson Corner, Avion Terrell, brother of Falcon Star AJ.

Terrell, who posted 48 tackles, five force fumbles, and nine passes defense, bringing

that physical edge, the secondary craves.

This one-two punch could ignite new coordinator Christian Parker's unit, shaking off the

two-year playoff drought and restoring that Cowboys grid on, defense.
