Whether you liked the moves made by the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> at the NFL <\/a>trade deadline or not, it\u2019s hard to argue that they\u2019re not a more talented team now that they added Quinnen Williams<\/a> and Logan Wilson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also fair to say they still have some massive holes that need to be filled during the offseason. The good news for them is that they still have two picks in Round 1 of the 2026 NFL draft<\/a> to address some of their concerns.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what they do in a recent mock draft from The Athletic\u2019s Nick Baumgardner, who has the Cowboys selecting a defensive end and cornerback<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dallas beefed up their interior, but they still need help across from Donovan Ezeiruaku<\/a>. They find that in Bailey, an explosive pass rusher from Texas Tech.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to their\u00a0deadline trade with the Jets, the Cowboys now have a truly elite defensive interior, with Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams,\u201d Baumgardner wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey still need more off the edge, however. Corner could be another possibility in Round 1, but Bailey (13 sacks, 55 pressures in nine games) has been electric this season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bailey has 11.5 sacks in nine games this season, and 26 in his collegiate career.<\/p>\n

As much as the front seven gets criticized, the secondary has been a bigger problem for Dallas. That\u2019s why they go for Mansoor Delane from LSU with their second pick in this mock.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Cowboys obviously don\u2019t have Micah Parsons anymore, so we\u2019ll see how this new-look defensive front works out. As mentioned, though, Dallas is in great position to make serious improvements via the draft,\u201d Baumgardner wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cDelane has been one of the few consistently bright spots for LSU this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delane joins DaRon Bland and Shavon Revel, forming what could be a solid trio. Still, they\u2019ll need to do something about their safety position which is a mess.<\/p>\n
