2026 Projections
Signed a four-year contract with the Cowboys in May of 2026.
Heading to Dallas
The Cowboys selected Barham in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 92nd overall.
ANALYSIS
Barham showed his versatility and explosiveness as a linebacker who converted to edge with Michigan in 2025, when he was named as an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention and posted 32 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, one forced fumble and three pass defenses across 12 games. That versatility should help him line up on the defensive front and second level, and he has the speed and physicality to beat his blocker, though he did have issues with getting flagged for offside when anticipating the offense's snap count. Barham likely will operate in a rotational role at edge behind Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku (hip) and 2026 first-rounder Malachi Lawrence.

Second-round pick per Yates
The March 24 mock draft from Field Yates of ESPN.com has Barham going 63rd overall to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Barham could hear his name called in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. He recorded 4.0 sacks in 12 games at Michigan in 2025, matching his freshman-year totals at Maryland in 2022, but Barham notched only 4.0 sacks across 24 appearances in the two years in between. Barham showcased a versatile skill set in college by contributing as an off-ball linebacker as well as on the edge, but he could still use some development as a pass rusher.
