In a dramatic move that could reshape the Cowboys‘ defense for years to come, Dallas traded up in the 2025 NFL Draft to select linebacker Jalon Walker-an athletic, high-ceiling defender often compared to Micah Parsons. The decision underscores Dallas‘ aggressive strategy to strengthen its pass rush and double down on the kind of sideline-to-sideline explosiveness Parsons brings.
Walker, projected by many to go in the top 10, has consistently impressed scouts with his twitchy movement, versatility, and relentless motor. While Dallas already boasts one of the NFL’s most disruptive defenders in Parsons, the front office is clearly not satisfied with just one game-wrecker.
He would leave! Micah Parsons admits that he would not be part of the Dallas Cowboys if this happens
Doubling down on defense
The Cowboys‘ roster faces increasing age and cap complications, with several key players on restructured contracts and growing depth concerns. That context helps explain the high-risk, high-reward approach in trading up. Pairing Walker with Parsons could give Dallas the most dynamic linebacker duo in the league, capable of confusing quarterbacks and dominating offensive lines.
Parsons has publicly shown admiration for Walker’s game, making this draft move feel less like a surprise and more like a strategic alignment. Though some fans might have expected Dallas to prioritize offensive line or wide receiver help, this pick sends a loud message: the Cowboys are all-in on building an elite defense.
High praise, high expectations
The pressure will be on Walker to contribute early and complement Parsons‘ unique role as a hybrid linebacker-edge threat. That said, Dallas has a history of maximizing defensive talent under coordinator Dan Quinn, and Walker’s raw athleticism and football IQ suggest he’s ready for the challenge.
Meanwhile, draft analysts continue to point out that this bold move could either propel the Cowboys into title contention or become a costly misstep if Walker doesn’t live up to the hype. But for now, Dallas fans can dream of a defense that overwhelms and outruns, led by not just one Micah Parsons, but possibly two.

On Tour: torcedor conta como o tempo de Botafogo chegou à terra do grunge
Em junho de 2021, depois de uma vitória sobre o Remo no estádio da Cidadania, em Volta Redonda, acompanhávamos angustiados a instável campanha do Botafogo na Série B, com o receio de uma queda para a Série C ou de mais um ano longe da elite. Se alguém dissesse que, quatro anos depois, estaríamos em um Mundial de Clubes nos Estados Unidos, daríamos as costas, chamaríamos de louco e seguiríamos esperançosos de que o nosso clube não acabaria. Agora, sob a trilha de Belchior em 2024 e do rock and roll em 2025, estou com outros torcedores e o time em Seattle para acompanhar a estreia do Botafogo na Copa do Mundo de Clubes. Cidade berço do movimento grunge, que revelou ao mundo bandas como Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden e Foo Fighters, Seattle também nos conecta à década de ouro […]

Estreia no Mundial de Clubes contra time da MLS dá sequência à relação forte do Botafogo com os Estados Unidos
Chegou o dia. Hoje, às 23h (horário de Brasília), em Seattle, nos Estados Unidos, o Botafogo finalmente estreia na Copa do Mundo de Clubes da Fifa. O sorteio colocou o time carioca em um dos grupos mais difíceis do torneio, com PSG-FRA e Atlético de Madrid-ESP como próximos adversários. E quis o destino que a equipe de Renato Paiva abrisse sua campanha contra o Seattle Sounders, representante da MLS (Major League Soccer, a liga de futebol do país) e um dos “donos da casa”. A boa notícia é que, seja pelo perfil do projeto esportivo da SAF ou pelas conexões criadas por John Textor, o Botafogo conhece bem o futebol americano. O tal do soccer. Desde que o alvinegro virou um clube-empresa, a MLS se tornou um dos mercados mais observados pela diretoria em busca de reforços. Integrantes da SAF […]
