Cowboys, Giants Dominate NFL Draft; NFC East Shaken

0:00On April 26, Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft wrapped up last night, marking the end of the big offseason event. The Dallas Cowboys stole the show with an A-grade class, going heavy on defense to fuel their win now push. In the NFC East, the New York Giants matched that with their own A-grade, while the Philadelphia Eagles landed a B and the Washington Commanders A, B, minus, and B. The Cowboys kicked things off strong by grabbing safety, Caleb Downes from Ohio State at pick 11, then added edge rushers and more defensive pieces, like Malachai Lawrence and Jaishan Barham. They traded around to build depth without major reaches, earning high marks across the board for staying aggressive in a tough division. Giants fans are buzzing after big swings at number 5, with edge linebacker Arville Reese from Ohio State and offensive tackle Francis Mauigola from Miami-10. They kept the momentum with cornerback Colton Hood and others, filling key spots to end their rebuild on a high note.

1:01Eagles started hot on offense, with wide receiver McCoy Lemon and Titan Eli Stowers, but later picks like tackles and linemen felt underwhelming, compared to rivals. Commanders open with linebacker Sunni Styles S7 to fix their shaky defense, yet the rest of the class left holes unfilled, drawing mixed, reactions from fans hungry for momentum. All eyes now turn to how these rookies gel in training camp, especially with the Cowboys and Giants raising the bar. Could this shake up the NFC East? Power rankings before the season even starts?
