The Dallas Cowboys' odds to reach the NFL playoffs plummeted on Sunday night, following a brutal loss to the Minnesota Vikings at home. With one more loss, the Cowboys' season is officially over, and the team can flip the page to NFL Draft season.

In the upcoming draft, the Cowboys will be one of the most interesting teams to watch with two first-round picks, and plenty of holes on the roster to fill.

Following Sunday's full slate of games across the league, the Cowboys saw their draft position improve, returning to the top 15 and top 25 after the Green Bay Packers' loss to the Denver Broncos.
