Cowboys Draft Fits in the Indiana vs. Miami 2026 CFP Championship " Inside The Star
"Edge Rush Still Gets My Attention Rueben Bain Jr. -EDGE, Miami Real talk, Bain probably isn't getting anywhere near Dallas. But if were talking pure fits, this is exactly the type of edge rusher I want the Cowboys swinging on if the opportunity presents itself. Rueben Bain Jr. is explosive, powerful, and doesn't need to be schemed into pressure. I think that matters when talking about elite edge rushers."
"The big thing to keep in mind is: The Cowboys do not have a second or third round pick. That tidbit of information changes how I look at the matchup. I don't want this to be about falling in love with every flashy name. This is about identifying players who actually make sense for Dallas, either as true value picks early or realistic Day three targets."
"Dallas already has three defensive tackles who aren't getting unseated by a rookie, and that's why I'm not going to be pounding the table for one. If they draft a defensive tackle, it needs to be because the value is screaming at them. Akheem Mesidor- DL, Miami I believe Mesidor may be the one player that could be a hybrid defensive tackle/EDGE player that the Cowboys think about for multi-position versatility."
Loss of second- and third-round picks forces a draft strategy centered on value and realistic Day-3 targets for the Cowboys. Prioritize prospects who fit scheme and immediate role rather than flashy names. Edge rushers who can generate pressure without elaborate scheming are strong fits. Defensive tackle is not a need unless exceptional value appears; a hybrid DL/EDGE like Akheem Mesidor offers multi-position versatility and rotational depth if available late. Cornerbacks are traditionally avoided in early rounds by the Cowboys, so corner evaluation focuses on players who match Dallas's specific traits and roster timeline.
