Cowboys Defense, Rams QB Move: Draft Analysis

0:00On April 27th, the Cowboys went heavy on defense in the draft, grabbing safety Caleb Downs early in Edge-Rusher-Jalen-Burham, plus three defensive. Picks in their first three spots and two in the first round overall. They fixed a unit that got torched last season, turning games into high-scoring shootouts where they blew leads left and right. Meanwhile, the Rams shocked everyone at 13th overall by taking Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson, a guy pegged for the second round. General manager Les Neid seems fed up with Matthew Stafford's nagging back issues that left him guessing if he'd even play last summer. Fans and analysts are split on the Rams move, especially since Stafford just had a monster year at 38. It echoes Green Bay drafting Jordan Love right after an NFC title run smart insurance or wasting a pick that could have beaten the Seahawks now. Social media is buzzing about coach Sean McVeigh's vibes too. The Jaguar's puzzle folks with multiple tight ends, like in the second and fifth rounds, may be paying the price for trading up for Travis Hunter, who's sticking at corner.

1:04Houston skipped reloading their offense despite last year's flop, joining the tight end rush with a Michigan project and snagging Ohio State defensive. Tackle Kate and McDonald in round two. Bottom line, Dallas showed real commitment to stopping the run, while L.A. is playing the long game at quarterback, could pay off big or haunt them if. Their window slams shut. Keep watching how these rookies gel come training camp.
