The 2026 NFL Draft kicked off on Thursday night with a dream scenario for the Dallas Cowboys. The team landed Ohio State superstar Caleb Downs, one of the best overall prospects in this year's class, before adding UCF pass rusher Malachi Lawrence with their second first-round pick (No. 23 overall).

After receiving some high praise from analysts and insiders around the league, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys front office will look to keep the momentum rolling.

Day 2 of the draft will feature the second and third rounds, so we'll have to see what the team has in store. Entering the night, Dallas holds the No. 92 overall pick, which was acquired in the team's trade of Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers. However, they are without a second-round pick.

That could all change if the team is as active as it was on Thursday night, with three fourth-round picks in their arsenal.

Round 2 action will get underway live from outside of Acrisure Stadium beginning at 7:00 p.m. ET on ABC, ESPN, and the NFL Network, and we will have you covered every step of the way.
