Cowboys 2026 Cornerbacks: The Surprising Depth Chart Shake-Up No One Saw Coming
What’s Needed?
Let’s say Dallas has the five guys already signed and brings back Butler and Steward. You obviously need more than just seven for camp and preseason, but the real question is if you could live with five or six of the players on that list as your CB depth chart in 2026. That’s where our introductory questions come into play: how much do you trust Christian Parker to cook with what’s already in the cupboard?
Bland is a starter, perhaps playing outside in base and moving to the slot in nickel. So it really comes down to how much faith they have in Revel and Carson’s development. It seems likely that they’ll talk themselves into Revel as a legit candidate, but it’s hard at this point to give Carson much benefit of the doubt. And while you could see guys like Bridges, Butler, and Steward filling out a depth chart, you don’t really want any of them in the top half of it.
That’s why you’ve seen so many mock drafts with Dallas taking one of Mansoor Delane, Avieon Terrell, or Jermod McCoy with one of their first-round picks. The need is there, though counting on rookie starters at CB isn’t the safest route. But one reason why Parker is here now is the immediate success that Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean had in Philadelphia, so that’s a good reason for hope.
