On April 2nd, ESPN's draft experts just dropped a 3-round mock for the Dallas Cowboys and it's all about stacking that defense. With picks at number 12, number 20 from the Packers and number 92 from the 49ers Shred, they go heavy on the front. First round double dip at edge rusher to fix the pass rush, then a corner in round 3. The top grab is Ruben Bain from Miami at number 12. This guy is the ACC defensive player of the year with 9-5 sacks last season, plus all American honors, hands like wrecking balls, perfect to pair with their new pieces. Then at number 20, they snag Zion Young from Missouri, a first team all SEC transfer who broke out with 6.5 sacks and 16.5 tackles for loss. Analysts love the idea of doubling up on edge, especially after trading for Rashan Gary in building depth. At third rounder, Julian Neal from Arkansas is a 6 foot 2 corner with smooth speed, clocking 4.49 at the combine.

He had 10 pass breakups in two picks in his breakout year, just what they need for the league's worst past defense last season. New defensive coordinator Christian Parker gets a scheme overhaul with these athletic freaks. Drafts 3 weeks out in Pittsburgh starting April 23rd, so Cowboys fans, this mock's got that dream vibe flowing.
