Cowboys Trade Up for Edge Rusher Lawrence

0:00It's April 24th. From breaking news to Sunday match-ups, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI. Dallas Cowboys just made ways in the 2026 NFL Draft, trading back from the 20th pick with the Philadelphia Eagles to snag the 23rd spot and select UCF Edge R Usher Malachy Lawrence. Their defensive line already looks solid inside, with guys like Quinn and Williams and Kenny Clark holding it down, but Lawrence brings that extra speed. Off the edge to crank things up. Fans and analysts are buzzing about passing on Tennessee cornerback Jermai McCoy, who's got real talent, but set out all of 2025 with a torn ACL, which dropped him on Draft Boards. Lawrence exploded for seven sacks last season, and Scouts see him as a day one starter, who can disrupt quarterbacks right away for Dallas. This move sure is up the pass rush, without the injury risks, setting the Cowboys up strong for the long haul.
