Episode Details

The Dallas Cowboys’ 2026 draft class, headlined by explosive safety Caleb Downs, could make the biggest splash yet—with Downs poised to start immediately and overhaul the secondary. Joining him are edge rusher Malachi Lawrence and versatile linebacker/edge Jaishawn Barham, both expected to contribute heavily. While the 2025 class has already locked in starters Tyler Booker and Donovan Ezeiruaku, some later picks like Shavon Revel Jr. and Jaydon Blue fell short of expectations. The 2024 class, shadowed by the tragic loss of Marshawn Kneeland, showed promise with Tyler Guyton and Nate Thomas battling for left tackle and Ryan Flournoy emerging as a bright spot at receiver. Though 2025 has solidified roles, the raw talent and immediate impact potential of the 2026 class make them the most exciting group to watch—especially with Downs leading the charge.
