Cowboys Eye Extra First‑Round Pick to Boost Playoff Push

Published April 8, 2026 · Updated April 8, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

The Dallas Cowboys have a second first‑round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, 20th overall, thanks to the Micah Parsons trade. They plan to use both 12th and 20th picks to strengthen a defense that struggled last season.

The Cowboys now hold the 12th and 20th overall selections in the 2026 draft, a bonus earned by trading Micah Parsons to the Packers. With a defensive roster that allowed the most points last season, Dallas aims to add immediate impact players, particularly on defense, to accelerate a return to the playoffs.
