Cowboys Trade Up for Safety Caleb Downs

Dallas Cowboys just made a slick move in the NFL draft, trading of one spot to snag

Ohio State Safety Caleb Downs at the eleventh overall pick.

They dealt their twelfth pick plus two-fifth rounders to the Miami Dolphins to lock him

in on Thursday night.

This was all about fixing a defense that ranked dead last, coughing up 511 points and snagging

just six picks, the worst in franchise.

History.

No risks taken when they wanted this guy bad.

Dallas is a two-time all-american who powered Ohio State to the number two seed in the

college football playoff, though they fell to Miami in the quarterfinals right here.

At the Cowboys home stadium, Dallas still holds the 20th pick from last year swap with

Green Bay, giving them another shot to build.

Trade buzz swirled around some roster moves, but they focused on beefing up the back end

first.

With needs across that unit, this pick sets the tone for rebuild, and you know the Cowboys

are gearing up to turn those defensive walls around, starting now.
