"The Cowboys secured a difference-maker in the secondary with Downs and added a pass rusher with some juice and possibly the best rushing moves in the draft in Lawrence."
"Jacob Rodriguez, the linebacker from Texas Tech, feels like a pick the Cowboys need to make happen. I love that he is one of the most productive linebackers in this draft, and he plays with a physical edge that this defense needs."
"The Cowboys don't just need depth, they need another playmaker at the second level and Rodriguez fits that perfectly."
"Jermod McCoy, the cornerback from Tennessee, is the high upside play with medical concerns. The medical concerns are legit and that's why he is still on the board, but talent wise, he's a high-level prospect."
The Dallas Cowboys made significant strides in the 2026 NFL Draft by selecting Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence, addressing key defensive needs. With these picks, safety is no longer a priority, but defensive end remains a consideration. The Cowboys still have several Top-30 visitors available, indicating a continued focus on defense, particularly cornerbacks and linebackers. Jacob Rodriguez from Texas Tech is highlighted as a necessary addition, while Jermod McCoy from Tennessee presents a high-risk, high-reward option due to medical concerns.
