Cowboys Nation guaranteed to have mixed feelings about the latest two-round 2026 NFL Mock Draft
The Dallas Cowboys land a potential Micah Parsons replacement in the two-round mock.
At 3-5-1, I don’t blame any Dallas Cowboys fans willing to take their eyes off the fall and winter days of the 2025 NFL season and instead turn them to the spring and the 2026 NFL Draft. It should be a fun one as the Cowboys are set to make two first-round picks when the time comes.
To those ready to talk about the Cowboys Draft, let’s take a look at the latest two-round mock draft put together by the NFL Draft experts at A to Z Sports. A quick glance suggests it’ll cause some mixed feelings.
Ask any Cowboys fan what Dallas should do next April and he or she will probably tell you DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE. But the crew here has them going with an electric playmaker on offense instead.
Pick 12: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame
Joe DeLeone: “Projecting Love to end up with the Cowboys isn’t exactly an original pick, but it just makes too much sense to ignore. Love is the home run threat that the Cowboys’ offense needs at running back to reach an elite level. He would be the perfect next star running back in Dallas.”
Listen, I get Joe’s logic here. Javonte Williams’ long-term future in Dallas is far from guaranteed and the Cowboys have no long-term answer at the position. Meanwhile, Brian Schottenheimer has clearly aimed for a physical run game. Love gives you that and much more. However, not only is this not a defensive pick, but it’s also not an offensive tackle. And while it’s true that the Draft should be approached with a “best player available” mindset, it’s difficult to do so when the Cowboys head into the Draft with big roster holes after taking a passive approach in free agency.
With that being said, yeah, Love would be a ton of fun. Just look at his patience, vision, and burst in the play below.
Pick 25 (via GB): T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson
Holt: “Dallas traded away a cornerstone edge rusher in Micah Parsons, and replacing him here is not realistic. That being said, Parker provides upside and plays with a violence that translates immediately into the pros. He uses his hands effectively and has a knack for making a massive play in crunch time.”
You can’t be mad about this one. The Cowboys appear to have found a good one in Donovan Ezeiruaku but they’re going to need even more for life after Micah Parsons. Parker’s violence shows up in the run game and when bull rushing quarterback. For the Parsons trade to sting at least a little bit less, finding an edge rusher is a must for Dallas.
