Cowboys' Draft Hopes Hinge on Tahj Delane's Availability

0:00On March 23rd, the Dallas Cowboys had been eyeing Cornerback Todd's Delane as a top target for their 12 overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. But after his impressive pro-day performance, where he clocked Elite Speed times, Delane's stock has skyrocketed, likely pushing him into the top 10 selections. Draft Buzz had linked the Cowboys to Delane from the start of the pre-draft process, with many seeing him as the first Cornerback off the board in, late April. Now, teams like the Kansas City Chiefs at Pick 9 could snack him, especially since several Cornerback needy squads pick ahead of Dallas. Cowboys fans hoped Delane would pair perfectly with their current group, including recent signing, Kobe Duran alongside Duran Bland and Shavan Revel. His addition could have stabilized the secondary, given Bland's injury concerns and Revel's recovery from an ACL tear. That said, Dallas has other Cornerback options deeper in the draft, though none matched Delane's consensus top prospect status. A trade-up might be their only shot if they still want him badly.

1:03For now, the Cowboys will pivot to Plan B at 12, keeping their eyes on the board as pro-days wrap up in draft 9 years.
