The latest mock draft from NFL Reporter Peter Schrager has LSU cornerback projected as the No. 9 pick by the Dallas Cowboys, via a projected trade with Kansas City.

9. Dallas Cowboys (via projected trade with KC)
Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU

OK, our first trade! I could see this happening. After allowing 377 yards per game and letting opponents convert on third down 47.3% of the time -- ranking among the worst in the NFL in both -- Dallas has to get one of the top defensive prospects. It's a necessity. But there's no guarantee any of them -- Downs, Delane, Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. et al -- will still be there at No. 12. This is a chance to guarantee getting one of them and still have another first-round pick. Delane's coverage ability should help stop some of the big plays that doomed the Cowboys in 2025.
The NFL Draft will begin on Thursday, April 23.

The Saints will likely be in a good but tough position, having to choose among several favorable options.

The Jerry Jones thing to do is trade up to 2 with the 12 & 20 pick and get Love.

That's not at all what the Cowboys do. They trade back more than trade up.

I didn't think he would drop to the Cowboys, but apparently he is. All the other Def players that the Cowboys would need (especially edge or LB) will be gone. If Downs (S) and Delane were both available at 12, that would be a hard decision. It's awesome that Delane is the top CB out there. Way to go. I wish we had him 1 more year though.
