Imagine the perfect scenario for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2021 draft. Besides a super talent like offensive tackle Penei Sewell falling to them, it would probably involve the team having their pick of the best defensive talent the draft has to offer. Everyone knows the Cowboys need an injection of talent on that side of the ball and the draft is certainly one way to get it.
In the latest mock draft from ESPN and Todd McShay, the Cowboys go on the clock with every defensive player still available. That’s right. McShay’s mock works out in a way that nine straight offensive players come off the board before the Cowboys are ready to pick.
