"Dallas could target Ohio State safety Caleb Downs and Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr., who they see as 'instant-impact game changers on defense.'"
"Downs is the consensus No. 1 safety in this year's draft class and has a case to be the top defender in terms of pure talent."
"Bain, the Cowboys' other priority target, was already seen as a potential faller after measuring in with sub-31-inch arms at the Combine."
"Dallas re-signed Sam Williams and traded for Rashan Gary to strengthen their edge rusher room this offseason, but they could stand to add a young, high-upside talent."
The Cowboys are focused on upgrading their defense in the 2026 draft, holding the 12th and 20th overall picks. They are particularly interested in Ohio State safety Caleb Downs and Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. Downs is viewed as a top safety and potential top defender, but may be drafted earlier. Bain's stock may drop due to arm length concerns. The Cowboys have made offseason moves to strengthen their defense but still seek young talent.
