MOCK DRAFT: Cowboys Draft STRATEGY Without Caleb Downs—Why Waiting at Safety Works!

Episode 2281 Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description

The Dallas Cowboys will try to navigate a loaded 2026 NFL Draft safety class by prioritizing key positions—but does passing on a Round 1 safety boost long-term success? Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool simulate a Cowboys mock draft, weighing the value of potential stars like Mansoor Delane, CJ Allen, and Jacob Rodriguez alongside free agent additions Jalen Thompson and PJ Locke. Strategic trades and BPA (Best Player Available) decisions lead to a defensive haul, adding impactful names like Donte Corleone and Bud Clark. 

The conversation tackles premium picks, edge and linebacker needs, and whether the Cowboys can find starter-quality talent outside the first round. Is targeting defense while waiting on safety the formula for elevating Christian Parker’s unit? Don’t miss this detailed breakdown of Dallas’ draft strategy, free agency moves, and the evolving depth chart as the Cowboys eye a return to NFL contention.
