Top draft CB prospect runs out gym and out of Cowboys crosshairs?
Mansoor Delane's pro-day performance may have taken the Cowboys out of contention to select the best CB prospect in the NFL draft.
The NFL draft is getting closer and that means pro days are all the rage. For the Dallas Cowboys , one of the positions they have been heavily checking on has been cornerback, and one of their favorite targets may have just run himself out of contention for being the 12 th pick overall. Mansoor Delane blazed both of his 40-yard dashes at LSU’s pro day, which may have checked the last box for him to be considered the no-brainer top CB in the draft.
One sub 4. 4 run could have been luck, but there’s nothing fluky about running two. From a scout in attendance: LSU’s Mansoor Delane just clocked back-to-back 4.
38s in the 40. Absolutely flying. — Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 23, 2026 The Cowboys and Delane have been linked in the draft community since the pre-draft process has begun.
The standout corner has been a popular name for the Cowboys with their top first-round selection but recently it’s been difficult to fathom Delane making it all the way to the 12 th pick. Now, with the timed speed at his pro day, it might make it nearly impossible for Delane to be an option for Dallas. Already expected to be the first CB off the board in late April, this could make Delane’s draft stock fit safely inside the top 10.
