The Dallas Cowboys are projected to hold, barring any future trades, two first-round picks during the 2026 NFL Draft.
Dallas obviously has their own first-round pick, but thanks to the Micah Parsons trade struck with the Green Bay Packers just before the 2025 season began, the Cowboys also hold the Pack’s pick as well. Dallas also received Green Bay’s 2027 first-round pick and defensive tackle Kenny Clark in the deal.
As the 2025 season rolls on we will be tracking the Cowboys’ first-round picks and updating this post every week. It goes without saying that we want Green Bay’s pick to be as close to the top of the order as possible, so from that standpoint we are rooting against the Packers all season.

Week 16 Update
The Cowboys lost their third game in a row which was good news for their draft position at the very least. Thankfully the Packers also lost and may wind up missing out on the playoffs.

Week 10 Update
The Cowboys were on bye this week, but they picked up help in this overall regard as the Packers lost. Unfortunately it was to the Eagles, but draft capital was helped nonetheless.
Week 9 Update
Dallas lost at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals, but thankfully the Packers lost to the Panthers to make things bearable on the week.
It should also be noted that it was after this week that the Cowboys traded for Quinnen Williams. This did not impact their two first-round picks in 2026 (they did...
