Cowboys Dominate Draft, Plug Holes with Key Picks

0:00It's April 25th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI, your gridiron update. I'm Cory with the story. Dallas Cowboys crushed Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft, grabbing cornerback Caleb Downs and wide-out Malachi Lawrence in the first round. Plus extra picks. Day 2 brought Linebacker, Jayshan Barham, and a trade for starter D-Winters beefing up the defense big time. They still need depth at outside corner, linebacker, and offensive line, so Day 3 could seal the deal or flop hard. After losing key line in like Brock Hoffman, the interior line looks thin, and running back past protection has been shaky. Fans are buzzing about how these moves plug holes left by injuries and free agency. Downs and Lawrence bring game-changing speed, while Barham and Wincher's adversity inside, easing pressure on the secondary. In a solid mock scenario, round 4 pick 112 goes to Texas corner. Malik Muhammad, a versatile zone guy to back up Day Ron Bland in the crew.

1:05Next, pick 114 Snags Speedy Linebacker Bryce Boatcher for special teams in depth. Then pick 137 Lands, Iowa Interior Lyman, both Stevens who can play guard or center. Day 7 pick 218. Capsule with reliable runner Jamari Taylor, bringing balance and pass pro to a backfield needing stability. If they land these, the Cowboys roster shapes up fierce for 2026.
