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

You’re obviously extremely ignorant so you should listen to me.

LOL. When people said they need a LB they are talking about an ILB.

Lawrence is an OLB pass rusher in a 3-4.

You continue to embarrass yourself.

Lol, this draft couldn't have gone any better for the Cowboys. Downs is one of the best players in the draft and Lawrence has a lot of upside and they added 113 and 137.

Where he was taken, it’s fine.

He’s an uber athletic kid who has elite pass rushing traits but will need to be better against the run.

In other words, we spent a first round pick on a "not ready for prime time" player, for a team that was absolutely horrible on defense last year.

Same old same old....

Saw some highlights of Lawrence and kind of reminded me of Clowney last year. Not bad

Literally everyone on this site understands this.

Except one.

But, it could have been Faulk or McCoy….count your blessings

That’s the case for any player taken at that spot. Who was a sure fire lock to make us better on D?

Mesidor.

You have to move up the entire dinner schedule for Mesidor. Early bird usually starts at 4:30.

 

[jblaze2004]

An OLB in a 3-4.

We still need an ILB

can get 1 or 2 in the 3rd and 4th rounds.

Not having a 2nd hurts because you could easily get an inside linebacker that would start day 1. Those LBs weren't first round upside but would still be starting on this defense.

While true Dallas usually drafts busts in the 2nd round anyway lol.

I've heard some hype about Lawrence here on this site... I think some of the Dallas media was hyping him as well. Other than that I've barely heard his name. You guys sure this isn't a bit of a reach?

I think FOs liked him more than the media. Its going to be considered a reach, but he was clearly the target all along. They managed to get 2 4th in the process. Hard to complain.

But we are all the ignorant ones.

LOL.

 

[Bigrandrn]

Make it one of those 4ths. And it would be great.

Brooks was good last season, don’t think they will trade for a 4th.

Looking at the War Room and who is and isn't there and their body language, they're done for now.
