Cowboys Draft Jaishawn Barham for Pass Rush

0:00On April 25, Dallas Cowboys just grabbed Michigan linebacker Jashon Barham with the 92 pick in the 2026 NFL draft. That's their third round slot after passing on the second round and adding a second-edged rusher in three picks total. Barham switched to outside linebacker and passed rusher duties in his last season with the Wolverines, but he spent most of his career as an off-ball. Guy. Now under new defensive coordinator Christian Parker, they'll deploy him both ways, kind of like Zach Bond gets used over in Philly. He started with two years at Maryland before transferring to Michigan for his final two seasons. Across four years in the Big Ten, he racked up 12 sacks and 23 tackles for loss. This pick joins Malachi Lawrence up front, as the Cowboys chase younger, more athletic talent to fix their past rush instead of hunting vets. Parker's vision is clear, build speed and upside from within. Expect Barham to hit the ground running in Dallas, shaking up that defense right away as they gear up for the long haul.
