"Following the trade for Quinnen Williams and other prior transactions, their capital is concentrated on two first-round picks, followed by a fourth-round pick, two fifth round picks, one sixth round pick and round out the draft with two seventh round picks."
"Over the last few years, the Cowboys have drafted guys such as Donovan Ezeiruaku, Sam Williams, Trevon Diggs, Sean Lee, Jaylon Smith, Randy Gregory, DeMarcus Lawrence in the second round. In the third round, they drafted: Shavon Revel Jr. Cooper Beebe, DeMarvion Overshown, Jalen Tolbert, Osa Odighizuwa and Jourdan Lewis, so talent is there on day two in both the 2nd and 3rd round and Dallas has done a really good job at drafting players."
"This team has a lot of issues on the defensive side of the football, and if they do not hit a home run with these picks, they could be in trouble if they don't add two or three free agents for Parker and this defense."
The Dallas Cowboys hold two first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft but lack second and third-round selections due to trades, including the Quinnen Williams acquisition. Their remaining draft capital consists of a fourth-round pick, two fifth-round picks, one sixth-round pick, and two seventh-round picks. Historically, the Cowboys have successfully drafted impactful players in Day 2 rounds, including defensive standouts like DeMarcus Lawrence, Jaylon Smith, and Trevon Diggs. With significant defensive needs and no Day 2 picks available, the team must execute effectively with their first-round selections or risk being unable to address roster gaps without substantial free agent signings.
