The Dallas Cowboys are already looking ahead to the 2027 NFL Draft, having one first-round pick after trading another to the Jets. Current mock drafts suggest they may select running back Mark Fletcher with their 19th pick, despite having a strong running back in Javonte Williams.
The Cowboys will have the 19th pick from the Packers and the 16th pick, which they owe to the Jets.
Despite having a productive season from Javonte Williams, the Cowboys may draft a running back due to positional value arguments and potential roster changes.
Key players include Caleb Downs, Malachi Lawrence, and Javonte Williams, with potential future considerations for George Pickens.

It’s extremely hard to understand why Dallas would even consider doing that. Javonte Williams just gave them a very productive season, and they re-signed him for three years with two basically guaranteed. The Cowboys loved everything Williams did for them last year. Barring injury, it’s hard to imagine Williams not having a significant role in the Cowboys offense over the next couple of years. You could make a case for a wide receiver if Dallas never comes to a deal with George Pickens and he leaves either through free agency or trade. The cornerback situation has a lot of bodies but nothing feels like a sure thing there yet, so it could end up being an issue. Offensive tackle could also be a weakness before the 2027 draft. Running back? Not so much, and that comes with the whole positional value argument attached. What do you think will be the Cowboys biggest need by then? ***You can check out odds on all kinds of NFL stuff at FanDuel, including who the favorites are to go first in the 2027 draft.***
