"The Dallas Cowboys' season is over, and they have earned the 12th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Green Bay Packers' season is also over. They have earned the 20th overall pick in the draft, but that pick goes to the Cowboys thanks to the Micah Parsons trade. That gives Dallas the 12th and 20th picks in the draft. That's a lot of first-round firepower."
"Six of the eight players they drafted that year played defense, with the two offensive guys being RB Marion Barber III (fourth round) and OT Rob Petitti (sixth round). The defensive players the Cowboys selected that year were: DE DeMarcus Ware (Round 1) DE Marcus Spears (Round 1) LB Kevin Burnett (Round 2) DE Chris Canty (Round 4) DB Justin Beriault (Round 6) DT Jay Ratliff (Round 7)"
"What is also similar about this is that the three top edge rushers in the draft are currently projected to go in the top 12 picks: Miami's Rueben Bain, Texas Tech's David Bailey, and Auburn's Keldric Faulk. The Cowboys are in a great position to snag one of the best pass rushers coming out of the draft with their 12th overall pick. Expecting him to be a Hall of Famer is quite optimistic, but"
The Dallas Cowboys finished the season with the 12th overall pick and acquired the 20th overall pick via the Micah Parsons trade. The team lacks a second-round pick this year because of the Quinnen Williams trade but possesses five Day 3 selections outside the top 100. The last time the Cowboys held two top-20 picks was 2005, when the club focused heavily on defense and drafted players like DeMarcus Ware and Jay Ratliff. Three top edge rushers — Rueben Bain, David Bailey, and Keldric Faulk — project to be available in the top 12. Dallas is well positioned to select a premier pass rusher with pick 12, though immediate Hall of Fame expectations are unrealistic.
