Cowboys Mock Draft: Clemson Edge Rusher & CB

0:00On March 3rd, a new mod draft from Bleacher Report has the Dallas Cowboys grabbing two Clemson defenders in the first round to shore up there. Defense. At pick 12, they select Edge R Usher, TJ Parker, and at pick 20, corner back Avion Taro. The Cowboys hold prime spots in round 1, and face big needs on defense after losing key players. This draft class offers solid options at edge in corner, making it a smart time to reload the front and back ends. Team owner Jerry Jones has stressed better run defense, while new coordinator Christian Parker calls the Nickel Spot Crucial. Fans and analysts see these picks as direct fixes for recent weaknesses in the secondary and past rush. Parker rebuilt his drappas with strong showings at the Senior Bowl and Combine, bringing skills to pressure quarterbacks and stuff to run. Taro fits right in as a competitive cover guy for the slot role in their updated scheme. Doubling down on Clemson talent like this, could give Dallas a cheaper, versatile defense ready to compete right away.
