Updated Cowboys 2026 NFL draft order, list of picks entering Week 17

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.
