Cowboys Trade Up, Grab Safety Caleb Downs

They grabbed Ohio State's safety, Caleb Downs, while Miami slides back to 12 and picks up the 177th and 1 1st AD. Selections, boosting their total to 13 picks.

Meanwhile, Dallas bought any rivals from jumping ahead. Cowboys fans are hyped because their defense was a disaster last year, finishing seven wins, nine losses, and one tie. They ranked dead last and points allowed, 30th against the pass, and struggled big on yards and turnovers despite a top offense.
