Draft Day ***2026 NFL Draft First Round Thread***

[Whirlwin]

I expect half the analysts to say we reached a little for Lawrence.

I don’t know much about him, but I don’t know much about the ones going after him being much better. Overall, cowboy fans should be pretty happy with the first round.

JJ sticking to the script. I like it

 

[30yearsstillwaiting]

Jerry will find a way to get back in the second round tomorrow for Rodriguez, wait and see.

I hope

 

[Floatyworm]

Dont lie


Is Malachi a reach here?

Hell no......I actually think it's a steal

 

[HungryLion]

Gna have to trade for a vet. Those 4ths from philly will help

With the addition of Down and Lawrence. If they can trade for Brooks. I legit think they can compete this year.

 

[SlimBig]

I was listening to an interview with Malachi Lawrence the other day. The 49ers would have drafted him in the first so we couldn't trade back too far.
Sounds like a smart kid too.

 

[Aven8]

Need to try to trade up tomorrow and get CJ or JRod

 

[DandyDon52]

i think they should have took lb rodriguez

 

[erod]

Editions 7 defense with these picks and free agency:

Downs
Lawrence
Q Williams
Gary
J Thompson
Durant
Locke
Ogbonnia
Bullard

 

[SlammedZero]

Man, I love NFL Draft night.

 

[Rockport]

An OLB in a 3-4.

We still need an ILB

Like I said, he will be a LB.

 

[StarLord]

So do you think we're done in round 1? Or any potential trade ups

For me, it's hard to see what we'd use to get back into the 1st.. I guess Pickens, but I don't see it.

 

[Whirlwin]

Lawrence.....Cowboys get another 2nd day pick after all.

Really wasn’t much left. This is not a great draft here.

 

[Vintage]

@Risen Star owes the War Room Pizza. No CB in round 1.

 

[HungryLion]

Like I said, he will be a LB.

Cool. OLB and ILB are very different positions.

 

[75boyz]

Another 2 year developmental hopeful that I hope turns out better than Kneeland(may he RIP) or last year's EZ.
Neither has/had moved the needle as pass rushers in their first year.

Could have just signed Clowney.
He's better than Gary who was totally dependent on Micah to do anything.
I hope they are still gonna try a Crosby attempt to be honest.
They need a legit pass rusher.
Vet at this point.
Oh yeah and a linebacker to go with Overshown would be nice.

Plenty of defensive tackles and safeties now though.
I remember that used to be the issue.
Now it's edge and linebackers.

 

[Whirlwin]

JJ sticking to the script. I like it

I’m not sure getting downs was part of that

 

[Cydios]

CBS gives us a C on our picks

 

[Ranching]

im all about being non-confrontational

You don't have any problem coming after me.....it's cool, I can take a joke, unlike some. Now bring me another kool-aid, pipsqueak!

 

[DandyDon52]

what picks are next for cowboys?? I know 2 4ths any others?
