2026 Cowboys UDFA Thread

I'd have taken Washington or maybe Coleman. The rest were too meh to waste a pick on.

And an undrafted contract apparently.

Fwiw - meant to post this but forgot - Moore and someone else on the Ticket said yesterday they did like Mafah and that he really was hurt in preseason, it wasn't just a situation where they made that up to stash him because he wasn't ready.

Even you said on the podcast that Mafah might be a fourth or fifth round pick in this draft because it was so weak. (Yes I listened that far... And I agree.)

But yeah, apparently John Park has convinced them that RB is a useless position. I mean they went with Miles Sanders last year. God, that feels like five years ago, not one year.

It might be useless but isn’t that all the more reason to scour UDFA for finds? You can get someone without expensing major resources.

I love the Trigg signing.

When you watch him its almost hard to tell he is a TE and not a WR. Not sure if he can block a lick but I have zero concerns about his receiving and route running ability. He is also a really physical runner after the catch. He just doesn't really look like a TE because he moves and catches like a WR. With big traditional TEs in Ferg and Spann-Ford it feels like Trigg would fit in nicely. And Schoon can go do whatever but I'm ready to move on.

I feel like if there is one thing we do well in UDFA it's get some TEs. Not so sure about other positions. Would have liked to see Lawson at LBer for example but he ended up in Philly. But it looks like we brought in 2 legit UDFA TEs. Spann-Ford was a high priority UDFA TE at one point too.

I just don't understand the logic of not bringing in any UDFA LBs.

I mean they at least have a shot at making the roster. You have 5 ILBer right now. Plus you'd think you need camp bodies. I only view 3 ILBers right now as roster locks.

And guys like that are good on ST. I just don't get it.

Not to mention it's possible you keep 5 ILBers because Barham is sort of an ILBer and can play OLBer.

Winters is just that good.
