Cowboys Have Two First-Round Picks in NFL Draft

The Dallas Cowboys enter the NFL Draft with two first-round selections (12th and 20th) as they seek immediate defensive help to bolster their playoff chances.

The Cowboys' extra first-round pick came from Green Bay as part of the Micah Parsons trade. With their defense allowing the most points in the NFL last season, the team has already made moves to address those issues, trading for Quinnen Williams and Rashan Gary while signing safety Jalen Thompson.

Jerry Jones indicated the team could trade up or down depending on how the draft unfolds. Despite obvious defensive needs, the Cowboys have kept their options open, with many mock drafts historically missing on predicting Dallas' draft strategy.
