Bleacher Report dropped their latest first round mock draft, and they have the Dallas Cowboys

grabbing two defensive studs.

At the 12th overall pick, they take Edge-Rusher David Bailey from Texas Tech.

Later, at the 20th pick be a Green Bay, its linebacker Jake Golday from Cincinnati.

The Cowboys have been rebuilding their defense after some big changes.

They traded Michael Parsons to the Packers last year without extending him, then picked

up Rashon Gary this off season.

Their pass rush ranked near the bottom in Sacks last season, and they gave up a league

high, 30.1 points per game.

Fans and analysts see these picks as smart fits for Dallas's needs.

Bailey ranks high on big boards and could rotate in right away to boost the front.

Golday brings athleticism to the second level, filling a sore spot at linebacker where

the team struggled big time.

These selections double down on defense, especially after a strong offense carried the load.

Bailey might push for starts as a rookie, while Golday's traits remind some of past Cowboys

like Layton Vander-Ech.

It's a best player available approach that matches their weaknesses perfectly.

Cowboys fans might not have linked these names must before, but with ongoing draft buzz

heating up, this mock has folks rethinking defensive.

Priorities come.

April.
