Episode Details

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to focus on defense in the 2026 NFL draft, with mock drafts suggesting theyll select Ohio State safety Caleb Downs at twelfth overall and trade down to grab All-Pro linebacker Jordyn Brooks and UCF edge rusher Malachi Lawrence. CBS Sports predicts theyll take Miami edge rusher Akheem Mesidor at twelve and Tennessee cornerback Cotton Hood next. These picks aim to address pass rush and coverage needs in their new scheme. Jadeveon Clowney, who led them in sacks last year, hits free agency again, but the Cowboys might pass due to scheme shifts. With their own first at twelfth, a Packers first TBD, and later picks, the Cowboys have ammo to build.
