Cowboys Nail First Round Draft Picks

0:00On April 24th, the Dallas Cowboys nailed their first round in the NFL draft, grabbing safety Caleb Downes at the eleventh pick after trading up with. The Miami Dolphins, then snagging defensive in Malachi Lawrence at the 23rd spot. They started with the 20th pick, but flipped it with the Eagles for the 23rd, plus two fourth rounders. Numbers 114 and 1. 37. Perfect value move that stocked their defense after allowing 511 points last season, the most in team history. Lawrence turned heads at the combine with a 4.5-240 yard dash at 253 pounds, and the second best vertical jump at. 40 inches among defensive linemen. From UCF, he wrapped college with first team all big 12 honors, seven sacks, 11 tackles for loss, and 31 pressures in his final year. Plus 20 career sacks that ranked 10th in program history. Fans and analysts are buzzing, calling it Jerry Jones' best first round in years, all, and a huge win for a front office that delivered exactly what the team needed.

1:04Even skeptics have to admit, it sparks real hope, especially with those extra picks adding depth without missing on their targets. Looking ahead, the Cowboys might eye an offensive slip in the next rounds, but cornerback or linebacker feels urgent in the third using those. Fourth round gems to build out the roster. This sets Dallas up strong. Now, they just got to keep the momentum rolling through the rest of the draft.
