"The Dallas Cowboys and fans can finally put their full view on the 2026 NFL Draft after their draft slots have been set in stone. A Carolina Panthers loss at home to the Los Angeles Rams locked the NFC South champions with the 19th pick in the draft. The Green Bay Packers thrilling loss at Soldier Field locks them into the 20th draft spot, and thanks to the Micah Parsons trade, that pick belongs to the Cowboys."
"Dallas' own pick sits at 12, so Will McClay & Co. will have two picks in the top 20 to try and get this team back to the playoffs. I figured locking in the picks means we can revisit those draft slots to see just how the Cowboys have fared throughout history when selecting at those spots. This article will focus on the 12th pick in the draft."
"Harper was a big target for QB Troy Aikman across the middle of the field, and had the long speed to outrun defenders on deep routes. Aikman and Harper once connected on a 94-yard post for a touchdown in a playoff game versus the Green Bay Packers. That is still the longest postseason completion in team history. Harper finished his career with 191 receptions for 3,483 yards and 21 touchdowns."
A Carolina Panthers loss to the Los Angeles Rams fixed the NFC South champions at pick 19. The Green Bay Packers loss locked them at pick 20, and that pick belongs to Dallas because of the Micah Parsons trade. Dallas also owns the 12th overall pick, giving the team two selections in the top 20 to pursue roster upgrades and a return to the playoffs. The Cowboys have selected at No. 12 only four times since 1960, including two selections in the past five years, with notable past picks such as DT Danny Noonan and WR Alvin Harper.
