Cowboys Draft Mansoor Delane: Shutdown CB

On April 4th, in the pride of the Troik community mocked draft for 2026, the Dallas Cowboys

grabbed the 12th overall pick and go with Mansour.

Delayne, a shut down cornerback from LSU, picked by fan commenter 1951.

Lion, this move aims to fix their leaky secondary right away.

The Cowboys' cornerback spot has been wide open, with the Ron Blan holding it down when

healthy, but the younger guys like Shavon Revel Jr. and Kaelin Carson not stepping up

yet.

They added veteran Kobe Durant on a short deal for a quick patch, but drafting a lead

talent here makes long term sense.

Delayne brings next level instincts, reading routes like he's in the future, and jumping

catches before receivers even know the ball's coming.

At 6 feet 190 pounds, with a 4.4440 yard dash, he locked down over 350 coverage snaps

last.

Year only 13 catches allow for 147 yards, zero touchdowns, and a 37.1% completion rate

against him.

No penalties all season shows his smarts, though he could bulk up for those deep go routes

and physical jams.

His style lines up with stars like Cool Aid McKinstree, Trent McDuffy, and Devon Withispoon.

He's ready to start outside and slide anywhere needed.

Edge rushes went earlier, so corner became the play.
