Cowboys NFL Draft 2026: Dallas selects Caleb Downs, safety, from Ohio State at pick 11
"The Cowboys had to trade up one spot to get him but they secured the guy they really wanted. He figures to be the brains of the Cowboys new defense under Christian Parker."
"The Micah Parsons trade left a huge hole at pass rusher, the Cowboys need an injection of talent."
"Trevon Diggs' departure and DaRon Bland's injury issues means the team needs help. The current depth is lackluster."
"Christian Parker's scheme needs quality safeties, something the Cowboys have a lack of except for free agent addition Jalen Thompson."
The Dallas Cowboys selected safety Caleb Downs with the 11th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, trading up one spot to secure him. Downs is expected to be a key player in the new defense under Christian Parker. The team faces challenges in several positions, including pass rusher, linebacker, cornerback, and safety. The departure of Trevon Diggs and injury issues with DaRon Bland highlight the need for depth in the secondary. Additionally, the Cowboys may need to consider adding a swing tackle to improve their offensive line.
