Cowboys Draft: 3 Starters Needed for Parker's Defense

0:00On April 15th, the Dallas Cowboys are gearing up to rebuild their defense in the upcoming NFL draft for a new coordinator Christian Parker. They need big help at linebacker, pass rusher, cornerback, and depth everywhere else. With picks at 12 and 20th overall, plus six more later, the plan is to go all in on defense to land instant starters. Mod drafts keep linking them to cornerback Mansour Delaney at 12, and may be safety Caleb Down sliding to 20. Former Cowboys scout Drew Fabianic says, expect two day one starters from those first round spots, but talent drops off quick after the top 12. True, first rounders. Fans and experts see this as bare minimum for Dallas, especially with needs at linebacker and safety where numbers are thin league wide. No second round pickhurt, leaving them with third, fourth, three fifths, and a seventh. Impact hits hard since free agency added starters like Rashon Gary, Jalen Thompson, and Kobe Durant already. Fabianic grades are real, third round picks should start right away, fourth rounders are a bonus if they do, and fifth round hits are rare gems.

1:07Best shot for Cowboys is three starters from their top three selections at 12, 20, and 90 second overall. Nail those, mix in the free agents, and Dallas rolls into 2026 with six new starters on defense, enough to turn Parker's unit around if. The hits land true.
