Cowboys Eyeing Top Pass Rusher in Draft

0:00On April 5th, Dallas Cowboys are hurting for a top pass rusher after trading away Michael Parsons last offseason and now they're eyeing a big move in. This month's draft, their defense was historically bad, even with Rookie Donovan as they were waku, showing some flash before shifting to outside linebacker. They've added Rashan Gary, but everyone agrees they need elite juice up front to make their high-powered offense count. Ralph Guru, Todd McShay, floated the idea on his podcast of the Cowboys trading up to the third overall pick with the Arizona Cardinals to grab Texas, tech defensive end David Bayley. Bruce Feldman from the Athletic backed it up in his April 1st mod draft, picturing Dallas on the clock way earlier than their 20th overall. Spot, fans and analysts are buzzing because the Cowboys got embarrassed on defense last year, dragging the whole team down. Steven Parsons fueled the fire and now they're desperate to build around new defensive coordinator Christian Parker scheme with a blue chip, front seven stud.

1:01Bayley stands out for his versatility. He can rush from a stand of spot or play down as a defensive end, with experience from 46 college games at, Stanford and Texas Tech. He's ahead of prospects like Ruben Bane Jr. or Akeem Messador, though Ohio State's Arvel Reese is the top dog, maybe going as high as second. Overall. About 30 visits with Reese and other Ohio State defenders like Caleb Downes, signal Dallas might trade up big away for value at 12 if offences. Go early. Either way, expect the Cowboys to swing hard for past rush help and turn that defensive page. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI.
