Despite being the NFL's biggest brand, the Cowboys haven't made much of a dent on the league standings in recent years.
Dallas missed the postseason for the second straight year in 2025, seeing its playoff hopes crumble as injuries, poor performance and a husk-like defense reared their ugly heads.
The Cowboys found some answers at some key positions during head coach Brian Schottenheimer's first season in charge. Dak Prescott re-established himself as one of the league's best passers after an injury-plagued 2024 season, while George Pickens made himself indispensable, tallying more than 1,400 receiving yards.
Still, that defense was dire, taking the ignominious title of football's worst. Reinforcements could be on the way -- the Cowboys hold two first-round selections in the 2026 draft. Only time will tell if they'll stop the rot, however.
The Sporting News is tracking every Cowboys selection in the 2026 NFL draft, from the first round to the seventh. Follow along below as Dallas makes its picks.
