The Dallas Cowboys enter Week 15 of the NFL regular season with their playoff hopes on thin ice, and one misstep down the final stretch of the year will bring and chance of reaching the postseason to an abrupt end.

When that happens, the team will be in full NFL Draft mode and began looking to the future to improve the roster moving forward.

Luckily for Dallas, the team has two first-round picks to address key issues on the roster.

One glaring weakness in the Cowboys' arsenal is the lack of Day 2 picks, after the second-round pick was traded for All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and the third-round pick was sent to the Pittsburgh Steelers for wide receiver George Pickens.
