Just a wee bit before the second hour of Round 2, the Cowboys traded their own fifth-round draft choice to San Francisco for Dee Winters, the linebacker having started in 27 of his 32 games played for the Niners over the past two years. There you go, Winters immediatelybecoming one potential starting inside linebacker, along with a finally healthy Overshown in this his third offseason since drafted in the third round of 2023.<\/p>\n
Then back to the draft on Day 2, in the third round with the draft choice acquired from the Niners in the Osa Odighizuwa pre-draft trade, the Cowboys couldn\u2019t call into NFL Draft central fast enough to claim Michigan linebacker\/defensive end Jaishawn Barham, eliciting dancing in the war room.<\/p>\n
Linebacker Bingo No. 2, the Cowboys wasting little time tagging Barham as initially an inside linebacker candidate, Cowboys vice president of player personnel Will McClay saying, \u201cI think he\u2019s been on our radar all season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now let me tell you what, wait until you see this guy Jaishawn. He\u2019s an imposing target,enough so to attract the lowest of flying radar.<\/p>\n
They list BAR-ham at 6-3, a quite solid 240, running a 4.6 time in the 40 at that size. Several scouting reports had given him four out of five stars, seemingly a third-round gem. One report claims he has \u201cviolent hands at the point of attack.\u201d Last Thursday when Barham arrived here at The Star for the ensuing three-day rookie minicamp over the weekend, that was the first day knowingly laid eyes on him. He also comes with a \u201cviolent stare\u201d along with those destructive hands.
