Cowboys' Draft Strategy: Bailey or Trade Up?

NFL Draft Excitement: Cowboys Eyeing Defensive Boost with Top Picks

The Dallas Cowboys are in the spotlight as the NFL Draft approaches, with their twelfth and twentieth overall picks. The teams defense is a priority, and new coordinator Christian Parker is expected to bring in Day one starters to revamp the squad.

Mock drafts suggest LSU corner Mansoor Delane at twelve and linebacker CJ Allen at twenty, but theres speculation about trading up. A CBS Sports scenario has the Cowboys jumping to the sixth spot, trading their twelfth pick and second-rounders in 2027 and 2028 to the Cleveland Browns for the sixth pick and a 2027 fourth-rounder.

Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey is a top defensive prospect, having recorded 14.5 sacks, 19.5 tackles for loss, and three forced fumbles in just fourteen games last season. If Bailey is available at six, he could significantly improve the Cowboys pass rush and postseason prospects.
