After his Pro Day 40-yard dash came in around 4.45, the hype around Delane has never been higher. At 6-foot, 187 pounds, Delane allowed just 14 receptions for 165 yards in his senior season and has adept abilities playing in a man or zone scheme.
In defensive coordinator Christian Parker’s scheme, he would step in as a day-one starter on the outside, and his talent is high enough to where he would be a top-15 cornerback as early as his rookie season. Simply put, this would be a home run pick.
No. 20: DE T.J. Parker (Clemson)
Trading out of the No. 20 pick seems like a high possibility because of the talent gap from the teens into the twenties of this draft. But if the Cowboys don’t find a tango partner, drafting Parker makes some sense.
Not only did the Cowboys hold a formal meeting with Parker at the combine, but defensive line coach Marcus Dixon worked him out at his Pro Day alongside fellow Tigers defensive linemen Peter Woods and DeMonte Capehart. Parker would give a physical presence to the run game with pass rush upside that could make him a capable mainstay in the 3-4 scheme.
No. 92: S Kamari Ramsey (USC)
Grabbing Ramsey this late into day two of the draft was too good to pass up on. Over the course of his college career, Ramsey allowed 59 receptions for 494 yards in coverage. While his ball production totaled just two interceptions during his career, his ability to play as a rangy deep safety forced opposing quarterbacks to keep things underneath with his top-end services looming downfield.
In a Cowboys safety room that has seen Donovan Wilson depart and Jalen Thompson come in, Ramsey wouldn’t necessarily be a day-one starter, but that doesn’t mean that he wouldn’t play a healthy handful of snaps every week in different packages. Additionally, he could serve as legitimate competition to Malik Hooker at the free safety spot.
