The Dallas Cowboys enter Week 15 of the NFL regular season with their playoff hopes in a precarious position. A misstep in the final stretch could abruptly end their chances of reaching the postseason.
Once the season concludes, the Cowboys will shift their focus to the NFL Draft, where they have the opportunity to enhance their roster for the future. Fortunately, Dallas holds two first-round picks, which will be crucial in addressing key issues.
One notable concern is the lack of Day 2 picks, as their second-round pick was traded to acquire All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, while the third-round pick was sent to the Pittsburgh Steelers for wide receiver George Pickens.
Currently, the Cowboys possess a total of eight picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, including the No. 15 and No. 28 overall selections. Additionally, they have three fifth-round picks, the highest number of any round in the upcoming draft.
The 2026 NFL Draft is scheduled to take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from Thursday, April 23, to Saturday, April 25.
