Dexter Lawrence Trade Boosts Cowboys Draft

0:00On April 20th, the Dexter Lawrence trade from the Giants to the Bengals just flipped the script for the Dallas Cowboys heading into the 2000, 26 NFL draft. Dallas dodges facing that beast of a defensive tackle twice a year in the division, and now their draft board looks way friendlier with picks at, number 12 and number 20. Coming off of rough seven wins, nine losses, and one tie season where the defense tank despite the solid offense, the Cowboys front office got busy. They snag free agents like Jalen Thompson, were Sean Gary and Kobe Durant to patch things up on that side of the ball. Fans and analysts are buzzing because projected targets like Caleb Downs and Ruben Bane Jr. could slide right into Dallas's lap. ESPN's Kevin Clark even says, landing one might vault them back into NFC East contention with that offensive base already locked in. Here's the real draft ripple, the Giants now pack picks at number 5 and number 10, giving them options to mix offense and defense instead of double dipping on D-line.

Though questions linger around new DC Christian Parker, and filling other gaps, keep eyes on big B, they might just war back.
