2026 NFL Draft grades: Cowboys find "mid-round gem" on Day 2
"Draft preparation is no longer about trying to predict what teams will do, today it is much more about telling teams what they should do - and then criticizing them for failing to follow whatever mock draft or big board somebody concocted."
"Barham gives the Cowboys additional pass-rush promise beyond Malachi Lawrence with some speed and production. He might be situational at first but he does have some upside vs. the run to start in short order."
"Barham was one of my favorite studies this draft season, physical and fearless in pursuit. Finding out his best role will be important, as there's a wild quality to Barham's play at times."
Draft preparation has shifted from predicting team actions to advising teams on what they should do, leading to criticism when teams deviate from popular mock drafts. This reflects a distrust in the scouting abilities of NFL teams, despite their access to more information than pundits. The Cowboys' selection of Jaishawn Barham in the draft is highlighted, showcasing his physicality and potential as a pass rusher. Barham's versatility and play style may offer the Cowboys additional options on defense.
