Packers' Pick Could Be Explosive RB | Dallas Cowboys News

0:00It's September 6th. This is Dallas Cowboys News today, your AI-powered team coverage. So, the Green Bay Packers made a big move last summer, trading away two first round picks and Kenny Clark to get Micah Parsons. Now, a year later, one of those first round picks is still up for grabs, and there's a projection that it could become an explosive offensive weapon for the Cowboys. We're talking about the 2027 draft, where one mock draft has Dallas using Green Bay's pick currently slated at number 26 on a running back, from Ole Miss named Kiwan Lacey. This Lacey Kade is apparently a playmaker, even though he's under 200 pounds. Scouts are already comparing him to Devana Shane, which is a pretty lofty comparison, considering a Shane speed and impact in the league. For Green Bay, this projection just adds another layer to a trade that's going to be talked about for a long time, especially since Parsons himself is. A game changer. The trade itself happened back in August of 2025.

1:02Green Bay sent Clark in their first rounders in 2026 and 2027 to Dallas. Parsons then signed a massive contract extension. Parsons had a solid first season with 12.5 sacks before tearing his ACL, but Green Bay was without a first round pick in 2026 because of the deal. Now, this projection from Fox Sports is just an early look, and a whole college football season can change things, but it highlights how this Parsons trade still has a future impact. Dallas got immediate help in draft capital, and the final piece of that puzzle, Green Bay's 2027 first round pick, could end up being. A dynamic running back. If Lazy lives up to that Akane comparison, it'll be another interesting chapter in the ongoing story of this trade. It shows how both teams are still playing the long game with Green Bay aiming for a championship boost and Dallas building for the future with. Veteran talent and future draft picks.
