— Nick Harris (@NickHarrisFWST) April 25, 2026 Barham has played both LB & Edge. Really explosive blitzer. Havoc type player. Fun chess piece for CP

Jaishawn Barham IS A DOG

— (Foots The King) (@FootsDaKing) April 25, 2026 Jaishawn Barham the 35th player on my board. Dallas has absolutely crushed the draft

— Jon Ledyard (@LedyardNFLDraft) April 25, 2026 Parker seems to like to walk one of his ILBs to the edge a bit to dictate protection and create mismatches. I can see Barham being very valuable in that respect.

— Hayden Winks (@HaydenWinks) April 25, 2026 Long shot but would not be surprised if we look around in a few years and realize the Cowboys suddenly have one of the best defenses in the league. Love this Jaishawn Barham pick.

— RIP @NotBrockJahnke (@NotBrockAgain) April 25, 2026 Pick 3.92 – Cowboys select ED Jaishawn Barham (Michigan). Great against the run, need to see more versus the past. Has some potential but also carries high bust risk.
