Cowboys 7-round mock draft: Mansoor Delane leads the way

Key Points:

• The Dallas Cowboys have eight total picks in the upcoming NFL draft, including three in the top 100, after acquiring a third-round pick from the San Francisco 49ers in a trade involving defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa.
• At No. 12, the Cowboys could select cornerback Mansoor Delane from LSU, who impressed with a 4.45-second 40-yard dash and demonstrated strong coverage skills, potentially becoming a day-one starter in the team's defensive scheme.
• Defensive end T.J. Parker from Clemson is a possible pick at No. 20 if the Cowboys do not trade down, offering physical run defense and pass-rush potential suited for Dallas' 3-4 defense.
• Later-round picks could include safety Kamari Ramsey (USC) at No. 92, linebacker Harold Perkins Jr. (LSU) at No. 112, and running back Emmett Johnson (Nebraska) at No. 152, each providing depth and competition at their respective positions.
• The Cowboys may also target linebacker Aiden Fisher (Indiana), defensive tackle Zane Durant (Penn State), and wide receiver Noah Thomas (Georgia) in the later rounds to bolster special teams and positional depth.
