Cowboys get ACTIVE on defense 😤
Day 2 was all about building depth and adding speed. Dallas doubled down on physical, high-motor defenders who can contribute early.

Jaishawn Barham = steal potential 👀
Landing the Michigan OLB in Round 3 gives the Dallas Cowboys a sideline-to-sideline presence with real pop. He fits exactly what this defense wants to be—fast and violent.

Dee Winters trade adds experience
Dallas didn’t just draft—they made a move. Bringing in LB Dee Winters from the San Francisco 49ers gives them a young linebacker who already understands NFL speed.

Defense is the clear priority
From Round 1 through Day 2, the message is loud: this team is building a defense that can attack, not react.

Depth + competition = dangerous
Between rookies and new additions, spots are going to be earned in camp. That usually brings out the best—and raises the ceiling.

Cowboys aren’t just adding pieces… they’re building an identity 😤🔥
