The Dallas Cowboys entered the 2021 NFL Draft hoping to address their defensive needs, which were numerous on a unit that allowed the most points in franchise history (473) last season. And through the first three rounds, that all that they did.
The Cowboys spent the entire first two days of the NFL’s annual collegiate selection event collecting defensive prospects. In the first round, Dallas drafted Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons with the 12th overall selection after trading back two spots with the Philadelphia Eagles.
