Cowboys Eye Defensive Boost with Extra First‑Round Pick

Published April 8, 2026 · Updated April 8, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

The Cowboys now hold the 12th and 20th picks in the 2026 draft, following the trade of Micah Parsons to the Packers. They plan to use the extra spot to add defensive talent and push for a playoff run.

The Dallas Cowboys have secured two first‑round selections—12th overall and 20th after trading Micah Parsons—giving them a rare opportunity to bolster their defense. With a recent focus on defensive upgrades, the team is expected to target defensive players in the first round to help close the gap that last season saw them allowing the most points in the NFL.
