2026 Cowboys Draft Chatter Thread

It's hard, people have said the same things about most of the top pass rushers in the NFL? No one saw that in Parsons before we took him. Ware was a debate about Merriman when we took him.

Miles Garrett is more of a generational talent then something you should just expect in the top 10 of every draft.

I look at Bailey and he is fast, he has perfect size, great arm length and elite production. Just not sure why he doesn't rank close to the top pass rushers in most drafts.

All true but that's a different conversation than whether you'd trade up for him.

I'm not trading up unless its a scenario where pick 12 goes up and pick 20 moves down and in total we don't lose any picks. Beyond that I'm not giving up picks to move up.

Which is a different conversation than trading two firsts to move up to pick 3 to take a pass rusher. I'm not doing something like that. Or like the trade last year to get Travis Hunter? Hell no.

But I think Bailey has everything you look for in a top notch NFL pass rusher. People just do this thing where they think the current draft class is inferior to previous years. But it seems like this happens every single year.
 
Homerism aside, I think Bailey is easily a top 5-6 n this draft. But, this is a weird draft with shit at QB. In a normal draft Bailey is probably top 10-12, but in this one he is top 6 and it would be silly for someone needing a pass rush to pass on him. After Reese goes, of course.
 
I kept a close eye on him all year and I think Bailey would be top 10 almost any year, he's not quite Will Anderson or Abdul Carter but I don't think he's miles off. He would probably just be in the 6-8 range in a strong draft rather than 3-5 like this year.

Parsons running a 4.4 at 240 or whatever it was isn't that much more impressive than Bailey running a 4.5, Bailey also has prototypical arm length and a developed set of pass rush counters.

So all of that is to say I'd be very happy moving up for him.

He is a hell of a lot better player than Tyree Wilson was. Who went what 7?

Will Anderson Jr. size, speed, high production. Not far off from David Bailey in my book.

The only thing I disagree with you on is that last part. I'd take Bain ahead of Bailey but I'd take Bailey ahead of Reese.

WTF is Cleveland.com?

I actually believe McShay to an extent because he has sources in the league, plus it aligned with Feldman's recent mock, and Harris is somewhat associated with the team even if he's full of shit.

But I'm not buying some made up trade in a mock by "Cleveland.com".

To be fair, it's probably associated with a Cleveland newspaper.

There's a philly.com and it's owned by the Philadelphia Inquirer.

But regardless, it feels highly speculative. I very much doubt this is a real thing.
