"The Cowboys gave up a fifth-round pick for Winters, who started 17 games for the 49ers last season and is entering the final year of his rookie contract."
"Dallas desperately needed a starting-caliber linebacker to pair with a healthy DeMarvion Overshown. Winters isn't the next Bobby Wagner or Fred Warner, but Christian Parker needed players with experience in the room."
"With the 92nd pick in the third round, the Cowboys selected LB/Edge Jaishawn Barham from Michigan. Barham has shown greater football motor and tenacity than Mazi Smith and Taco Charlton."
"Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said during the night two post-draft press conference that Barham will start at inside linebacker for the team."
The Dallas Cowboys were active on Day 2 of the NFL draft, trading for linebacker Dee Winters from the San Francisco 49ers. Winters, who started 17 games last season, provides experience and flexibility for the Cowboys' defense. With the 92nd pick, the Cowboys selected linebacker/edge Jaishawn Barham from Michigan, who is expected to start at inside linebacker. Barham shows potential as a versatile player despite being raw in his development as a pass rusher, indicating a strategic focus on strengthening the defense.
