Yea I think he might be a stud, at least statistically he's comparable to guys like Verse, Anderson Jr., Latu and some of the type young edge rushers during their rookie years. If he can continue to ascend like them, combined with what we have on the interior, we could be cooking with gas going into 2026.
I know people will hate to hear it. But I think we really need a safety and corner. Don't get me wrong, I'd still love someone like Bain at DE to compliment EZ (Likely long gone by our picks) but this secondary feels like the real hot mess unless Revel steps in and plays well.

I have zero problem with using our top picks to focus on the back seven if the value is there. I know people will cry and complain about how the Cowboys aaalllllwaaaaays draft corners in the first. Which is patently retarded. They fixated on some stupid trope from a decade or more ago and cling to it. We heard it last year, the year before, and the year before, etc... And we'll hear it again this year leading up to the draft. Guaranteed.

My thought as well. I can already hear the cries about us always drafting corners. We don't. But this year, I'll be watching the corners closely. Bland looks like shit. Diggs if over halfway out the door. Revel has been out for a year and a half and we still have no idea if he can play football at a high level still. Corner still looks like a massive steaming pile.

And frankly safety isn't much better. Wilson has been trash. Thomas has sat out with headaches for multiple weeks. I don't feel good about any of the safeties on the roster any longer.

I doubt there will be a safety available in the first that would be worth the pick but if Downs is around that's a no brainer.

I'm fine with CB as well, I wasn't when we had Diggs on his deal while we knew a Bland extension was coming, but Diggs will be gone and I'm fine spending a 1 to where we'd be looking at a group of Bland, Revel, round 1 rookie and then maybe an Elam or Carson as the 4th guy.

The CB just has to be a physical tackler with ball skills, I don't want some prima donna that doesn't want to hit.

One interesting point if you believe the rumors is that we were interested in trading for both Trey Hendrickson and Quinnen's brother Quincy.

They're both FA's next year, so if you're really that interested in trying to win go ahead and sign one of them in 4 months without giving up a pick.

Agreed, it's really bad.

Yeah either Downs falls (Very unlikely, but saying Will Johnson would go in the second round would have sounded crazy this time last year as well) or someone I haven't thought of yet rises.

But someone like Downs would have such a massive impact on this defense.
