The Dallas Cowboys have prioritized defense in this NFL draft, drafting Caleb Downs (S) and Malachi Lawrence (DE) in Round 1, and Jaishawn Barham (LB/DE) in Round 3, then trading for Dee Winters (LB) in Round 2. They’ve already added Rashan Gary (DE), Jalen Thompson and PJ Locke (S), and Cobie Durant (CB), with expectations that Downs and Winters will start Week 1. Owner Jerry Jones claimed the defense is being rebuilt with a new coaching approach, signaling a possible shift to offense on Day 3, but defensive needs at cornerback and linebacker remain. The Cowboys have multiple Day 3 picks and may still pursue additional help at linebacker, cornerback, and even receiver or running back on offense. 🛡️🏈💪
