Potential targets for Dallas on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL draft

3) CB Brandon Cisse (South Carolina)

Cisse was one of Dallas’ 30-visits, and buzz grew around the Cowboys’ interest in him in the week leading up to the draft. His long-term potential will likely cause him to go before Dallas gets on the clock, but if he starts to slide, he could be a player the Cowboys would go up and get.

4) CB Malik Muhammad (Texas)

Christian Parker and the Cowboys have talked about adding high-IQ football players to their defense many times. While not as physically gifted as the other two cornerbacks on this list, Muhammad is a smart, savvy player who could be an asset to Dallas’ secondary.

5) CB Davison Igbinosun (Ohio State)

Igbinosun is 6’2 with long arms, the prototypical build you want in an NFL cornerback. While he did have some big-time penalty issues, Dallas could buy into his build and physical traits.

6) DE Romello Height (Texas Tech)

If the Cowboys decide to target another edge, there is a good chance Height will be near the top of their list. The Texas Tech product was a 30-visit and could add another pass rush option to Dallas’ defense.

7) DE Joshua Josephs (Tennessee)

Josephs is another option if Dallas decides to double-dip at defensive end. The former Tennessee Volunteer is a twitchy, high-motor edge who could serve as a rotational pass rusher in his rookie year.

8) WR Chris Bell (Louisville)

If the Cowboys decide to upgrade their offense on day two, wide receiver seems like the most likely position they would go after. Bell was one of Dallas’ 30 visits and has an NFL body. Coming off an ACL injury, Bell could see himself slide a bit, giving the Cowboys a chance to snag him in the third round.
