The Dallas Cowboys head into the 2026 NFL draft with two first-round picks and much speculation about whether they will stay at No. 12 and 20, trade up, trade down, or both.
They don’t have a second-round pick, and they have eight picks overall as they look to reshape a defense that ranked among the worst in the league last year.
Needs are linebacker, cornerback, safety and edge rusher, so almost everywhere on defense.

NFL Draft Round 1 pick time
Each team will have eight minutes to make its selection in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. This is the first year for this, as last year it was 10 minutes between picks. With 32 picks to sort through, this potentially could save an hour.
Teams have seven minutes on the clock for the second round, five minutes for rounds 3-6 and four minutes in round 7.
