Cowboys Mock Draft: Defense-Focused, Depth & Grit

On April 2nd, in this Cowboys' mock draft, they trade back from pick-12 to grab more

picks and rebuild the defense with depth and grit.

Instead of chasing one big star, the focus is on toughness across the front-7, turning

the roster into something faster and more disruptive, right.

Out the gate.

The trade nets them the 20th, 27th, and 58th picks, plus a 20-27th third and fourth from

the San Francisco, 49ers.

First up at 20 is Peter Woods, a versatile interior defender with starter potential

who can play anywhere in a 3-4 front.

At 27, a manual McNeil Warren brings physicality to the safety spot, 6-2, with 36 solo tackles,

forced fumbles, picks, and pass breakups last season.

Then at 58, Jacob Rodriguez keeps the defensive momentum as a productive linebacker with

over 1,500 snaps, 10 forced.

Humbles, and a ton of stops.

Later rounds double down on defense with corners, linebackers like Caleb Elams, or edge

rushers such as Cading Curry and Tray Moore, all adding speed, size, and sex.

Offense gets a nod with running back Mike Washington Jr. at 92-A 6-1 bruiser, averaging

6.4 yards per carry, and the late.

Flyer on wide-out Jordan Hudson.

This hall could shift the Cowboys identity toward a nastier defense if Woods and McNeil

Warren hid, giving Dallas real volume and edge without.

Banking on, glamour picks.
