NFL Draft Excitement: Cowboys Eyeing Defensive Boost with Top Picks
The Dallas Cowboys are in the spotlight as the NFL Draft approaches, with their twelfth and twentieth overall picks. The teams defense is a priority, and new coordinator Christian Parker is expected to bring in Day one starters to revamp the squad.
Mock drafts suggest LSU corner Mansoor Delane at twelve and linebacker CJ Allen at twenty, but theres speculation about trading up. A CBS Sports scenario has the Cowboys jumping to the sixth spot, trading their twelfth pick and second-rounders in 2027 and 2028 to the Cleveland Browns for the sixth pick and a 2027 fourth-rounder.
Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey is a top defensive prospect, having recorded 14.5 sacks, 19.5 tackles for loss, and three forced fumbles in just fourteen games last season. If Bailey is available at six, he could significantly improve the Cowboys pass rush and postseason prospects.

On April 3rd, the NFL draft is heating up, and all eyes are on the Dallas Cowboys with their 12th and 20th overall picks. Their defense needs a serious upgrade, so expect new coordinator Christian Parker to get some day-one starters to shake things up. Mod drafts are buzzing with ideas like grabbing LSU corner, Mansor Delane at 12, and Limebacker CJ Allen at 20 if they stay put. But there's talk of trading up, especially in one scenario from CBS Sports where they jump to the sixth spot. That trade would send their 12 pick plus second rounders in 2027 and 2028 to the Cleveland Browns for the sixth and a 2027 fourth rounder. Critics call their pricey, and Cowboy Scouts pushback hard, saying this draft class is loaded with talent, not thin like some claim. Enter Texas Tech ed rusher David Bailey, one of the top defensive playmakers out there. Last season in just 14 games, he racked up 14.5 sacks, 19.5 tackles for loss, and three forced fumbles, earning.
All American honors. If Bailey's still on the board that high, he could transform Dallas's past rush overnight, giving them the explosive juice they've been missing to. Make a real postseason push.
