"The Cowboys will have their own first round pick in April at no. 12, and with the Packers choke job against the Bears, they now will have the 20th overall pick from the Micah Parsons trade. If the Packers had won that game and who knows, maybe the next, Dallas could have moved as low as 25 or 26, but as I noted, without the Cowboys playing, the NFL playoffs have went just about as well as they could have hoped."
"The Cowboys have two top 20 picks. We all saw how bad the defense was, correct? If Jerry Jones even thinks about drafting an offensive player with either one of these picks, I won't know what to think. We all say that he won't do it but remember who we are talking about here, Jerry does what Jerry wants to do, and the last thing he thinks about is what is best for the team."
The Cowboys missed the playoffs while wildcard results and rival losses improved their draft position. Dallas now owns the No. 12 overall pick and the No. 20 pick acquired via the Micah Parsons trade. Playoff outcomes, including the Packers' loss, prevented the Cowboys from sliding down the draft order. The team faces clear defensive deficiencies that require immediate attention through the draft. The front office should prioritize defensive talent in the first three rounds to secure day-one starters and shore up a struggling unit. This marks the sixth time the franchise will possess multiple first-round selections.
