With the 23rd pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys selected EDGE Malachi Lawrence. Ever since the Micah Parsons trade the Cowboys have needed more pass rush. The hope is Lawrence can provide it. The Cowboys got him at pick 23 after trading down with the Eagles.
Scouting reports coming shortly.
Cowboys 2026 draft picks:
- Rd 1 – 12: S Caleb Downs
- Rd 1 – 20: EDGE Malachi Lawrence
Cowboys needs:
EDGE: The Micah Parsons trade left a huge hole at pass rusher, the Cowboys need an injection of talent.
LB: It’s basically DeMarvion Overshown or bust at LB. Shemar James may make a leap, but Dallas
needs a starter here.
CB: Trevon Diggs’ departure and DaRon Bland’s injury issues means the team needs help. The current depth is lackluster.
S: Christian Parker’s scheme needs quality safeties, something the Cowboys have a lack of except for free agent addition Jalen Thompson.
WR: George Pickens is on a one-year franchise tag. Getting another contender for the future is a solid move.
OT: Tyler Guyton and Terence Steele both have their faults. Adding a decent swing tackle makes sense.
