The Dallas Cowboys were officially eliminated from NFL playoff contention in Week 16, so they can soon kick into full NFL draft mode in just two weeks. But first, the Cowboys have a Christmas Day showdown with the Washington Commanders and the season finale against the New York Giants to take care of.

Dallas holds two picks in the first round of the 2026 draft, so it will be interesting to see how the action plays out and where the Cowboys ultimately land in Round 1.

Currently, the Cowboys would hold the No. 13 and No. 21 overall picks in the upcoming draft.

But what about the other six rounds? Unfortunately, Dallas is without any picks on Day 2, but they did land George Pickens and Quinnen Williams in exchange, which is promising for the team's future.

In total, the Cowboys currently have eight picks in the 2026 draft, including the No. 13 and No. 21 overall selections. Dallas holds three picks in the fifth round, the most of any other round in the upcoming draft.

The 2026 NFL Draft will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from Thursday, April 23, through Saturday, April 25.

A closer look at where the Cowboys stand in the 2026 NFL draft order can be seen below.
