Cowboys' Draft Class: High Upside, Big Potential

On April 28th, Scouts are buzzing about the Dallas Cowboys' latest draft class, pulling

from Bob McGinn's reports that Mick Sharp prays with some, old-school gripes.

Top gym is safety, Caleb Downs, picked 11th overall from Ohio State, healed as, wired

different with ed read vibes, instincts, speed in the four, point fours, and a do-it-all

tackler whose physical, but wraps up clean.

Cowboys exec Will McClay calls him a multiplier.

According to the Edge, 23rd overall Malachi Lawrence, from Central Florida, showed

Combine Fire with a 4.5 140.

Scouts see Raw talent in pass rush speed, though he needs work on run defense and motor

consistency.

McClay loves his pressure potential on any scheme, adding that athletic edge multiplicity.

Linebacker Jaishawn Barham at 92 from Michigan stands out as a hybrid rusher, better off

the ball or blitzing with second round value and A.

Tough demeanor.

Meanwhile, Penn State's Drew Shelton at 112 fits as a guard starter with good feet and

Florida's Devon Moore at 114 brings outside corner potential despite injuries.

Interior defender Elty Overton snagged at 137 from Alabama, shines for versatility tackle,

indoor nose with rare movement that could fit third round.

Undrafted Baylor Titan Michael Trigg is boom or bust, a highlight reel receiver like

a new age prototype, but he needs to bulk up, block better, and stay consistent after

past issues.

These reports paint a squad with high upside pieces that could hit big if they developed

right, giving Cowboys fans real ammo to watch this rookie class.

Ball out from day one.
