Cowboys First-Round Draft Picks Already Dominating in Jersey Sales

Lawrence, who played for UCF, didn't have the same buzz around him leading up to the draft as Downs. He did, however, turn a lot of heads during the NFL Combine.

The 6-foot-4, 253-pound Lawrence moved with much more ease than a man his size should be able to. Not only was he smooth during every drill, but he recorded a 4.52 in the 40-yard dash and had a 40-inch vertical and 10-foot-10-inch broad jump.

During his final season with the Knights, Lawrence had 28 tackles and seven sacks. He's going to be expected to help produce as a pass rusher immediately, but has the tools to succeed.

Caleb Downs set for superstardom

As for Downs, he has the makings of a franchise-changer for the Cowboys. He's been praised for his intellect, even being labeled the smartest player on the defense already.

Defensive coordinator Christian Parker is going to lean on him heavily to help communicate on defense. Downs proved to be more than capable of serving as a coach on the field during his two years at Ohio State, as well as during his freshman season with the Alabama Crimson Tide.

During his career, Downs had 257 tackles, 12 pass defenses, six interceptions, and three forced fumbles. He proved to have the versatility to play both safety positions and can move into the nickel and cover slot receivers. He's essentially a chess piece capable of helping revamp the entire secondary.
