Updated 2026 NFL draft order following Dallas Cowboys' Week 8 embarrassment

With the Cowboys' original first-round pick, the pick is on the edge of the top 15. With the Cowboys' pick that came from the Green Bay Packers in the Micah Parsons trade, it's currently No. 31, so a glorified high second-round selection.

It will be interesting to see how the Cowboys decide to use their draft capital before the trade deadline or on draft day, but something has to be done.

Currently, the New York Jets remain in the driver's seat for the No. 1 overall pick, despite picking up their first win of the season on Sunday afternoon.

A full look at the current 2026 NFL Draft order as we prepare for the holidays can be seen below.
