Cowboys' Draft Picks: Turning Defense Around

0:00On March 3rd, the Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for a key chance to rebuild in the 2026 NFL Draft with two first round picks at number, 12 and number 20 overall. Recent projections show they'll also snag two fifth round compensatory picks thanks to losing edge-resher to Marcus Lawrence to the Seattle Seahawks, and slot corner Jordan Lewis to the Jacksonville Jaguars, that defensive talent drain hit hard last season as the Cowboys finished with the league's worst past defense, ranking dead last by allowing two, 151.5 yards per game, they struggled overall two, placing 30th in total defense at 377 yards allowed per game and 23rd against the run. While giving up a league high 60 touchdowns, with new defensive coordinator Christian Parker in place, these picks could spark a turnaround, especially with the draft set for Pittsburgh April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April 23rd through 25th April
