Cowboys Land Top Defender Caleb Downs

The Cowboys made a rare move by trading up to select Caleb Downs at pick 11. Downs was universally regarded as the best defensive prospect in the draft, with one head coach even suggesting he has the best chance to earn a gold jacket (Hall of fame honor).

This selection breaks from Dallas' usual draft strategy, as the team typically doesn't trade up for prospects. Downs joins a lineage of successful Cowboys draft picks like CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons who exceeded expectations despite being selected later in the draft. umafrika.club
