Cowboys Eye Defense in Draft With Extra First-Round Pick

With a 12th and 20th overall pick, the Cowboys plan to strengthen a defense that struggled last season, keeping playoff hopes alive.

The Dallas Cowboys hold two first‑round selections—12th and 20th overall—after trading Micah Parsons. Their focus is on defense, adding impact players early to boost a team that allowed the most points last year. With trades for Quinnen Williams and Rashan Gary already on the board, Dallas is poised to add depth at key defensive positions.
