"Keyron Crawford probably isn't getting the attention he commands in the 2026 EDGE draft class. He's a twitched-up athlete who plays relentlessly with a nonstop motor. He has the strength/power to hold up against the run and the athletic ability to drop into coverage as well. He is expected to be a mid-round pick and checks nearly all of the boxes Christian Parker looks for in a player at the DE position."
"Forget for a second he played at Michigan, because Rayshaun Benny is an intriguing defensive tackle prospect who is expected to be a Day 3 selection. He could be an impactful rotational piece with the Cowboys early on as he shown he plays with impressive quickness and powers with an understanding of how to use his long arms to help penetrate gaps. All of this could make him a good fit in Christian Parker's defensive scheme."
"Familiarize yourself with the name Lander Barton and file it away to memory. He's definitely someone to keep an eye on for the Cowboys and could be exactly what Christian Parker is looking for at MLB. From his physical stature, athletic ability, versatility, and high-end production Barton checks all the boxes to start as a rookie. He's a thumper in the run game and uses his length (79 3/4" wingspan) to disrupt passing lanes in coverage."
Dallas enters the 2026 draft focused on defensive upgrades after a historically poor 2025 defense under Matt Eberflus, with Christian Parker expected to reshape the unit. The team should target underrated prospects who fit Parker's traits at defensive end, tackle, and middle linebacker. Keyron Crawford offers twitch, nonstop motor, strength to hold the run, and coverage ability as a mid-round EDGE. Rayshaun Benny projects as a quick, powerful Day 3 defensive tackle who uses long arms to penetrate gaps as a rotational piece. Lander Barton presents starter-ready size, athleticism, versatility, and a 79 3/4" wingspan to disrupt passing lanes.
