Where the Cowboys' new-look defense ranks after the draft
"The Dallas Cowboys defense wasn't just bad; they were historically bad, surrendering the most points (511) and second-most yards (6,409) in the league."
"Dallas added quality talent to their defense, including Caleb Downs, Rashan Gary, Jalen Thompson, and Dee Winters, who should start from day one."
"Despite making quality moves, questions remain if the Cowboys did enough to upgrade what was one of the worst defensive units in NFL history."
"Predictions indicate the Cowboys' defense will still struggle this year, ranking Dallas 26th among all defensive units in the NFL."
The 2025 Dallas Cowboys defense allowed the most points and second-most yards in the league, with a poor Defensive EPA/play. In response, the Cowboys made offseason changes, adding players like Caleb Downs, Rashan Gary, Jalen Thompson, and Dee Winters to improve the unit. Despite these additions, concerns remain about whether the changes are sufficient to elevate the defense from its historically low performance. Predictions suggest the Cowboys will still struggle defensively, ranking 26th among NFL defenses for the upcoming season.
