"The Cowboys may be off in Week 10, but many Dallas fans will still be tuning in to action from around the league. What outcomes will best help the Cowboys, whether in trying to salvage the 2025 season or to improve their position in the 2026 draft? Dallas currently sits at 11th place in the NFC standings, meaning there are currently four teams standing between them and a playoff spot."
"In terms of the next draft, Dallas' first-round pick would currently be 14th in the order. The tie on the Cowboys' 3-5-1 record makes it easy to project where they'll be in the draft, making most tiebreakers with other clubs irrelevant. There are several teams sitting at 3-5 right now, so there's plenty of potential for the Cowboys to shoot up the board as this season rolls along."
Dallas sits 11th in the NFC with a 3-5-1 record and eight games remaining, placing four teams between the Cowboys and a playoff spot. The 5-3 Detroit Lions currently hold the seventh seed, leaving the Cowboys a few wins below .500 but still within mathematical reach of postseason play. Dallas' projected 2026 first-round pick is 14th, and the present 3-5 tie with several clubs simplifies draft projections by reducing tiebreaker relevance. Multiple teams at 3-5 create opportunities to climb the draft order, and owning Green Bay's 2026 first-rounder links certain game outcomes to Dallas' draft position.
