what are the cowboys draft picks

Here’s the current snapshot of the Dallas Cowboys’ 2026 draft picks situation, based on publicly available reports and projections.

Quick answer

For 2026, the Cowboys are currently projected to have:

• Round 1: Their own first-round pick.

• Round 1: An additional first-round pick via the Green Bay Packers (from a prior trade).

• Round 2: Traded away to the New York Jets in the Quinnen Williams deal.

• Round 4: Their own fourth-round pick.

• Round 5: Their own fifth-round pick.

• Round 5: At least one projected compensatory fifth-round pick.

• Round 7: A seventh-round pick that had been via the Giants/Chiefs but was used in the Logan Wilson trade and is no longer available.

Remember, compensatory picks can still change as the NFL finalizes them, so the exact late‑round count may shift closer to the 2026 draft.

Why fans are watching these picks

• The Cowboys are positioned to potentially have two picks in the top 20 of the first round, depending on how Green Bay finishes, which is a huge deal for a roster that needs help at edge, safety, corner, linebacker, and wide receiver.

• Media and forum discussions right now often revolve around whether Dallas should use those premium picks to rebuild the defense or finally invest heavily in offensive weapons and line depth.

In fan discussions, you’ll see a lot of “double‑dip on defense in Round 1 vs. grab a blue‑chip offensive playmaker” debates, because having two firsts gives Dallas rare flexibility going into 2026.

If you want, I can break down possible strategies for those two first‑rounders (e.g., best‑case scenarios, trade‑down ideas, or “all‑in on defense” mock paths) in more detail.
