Where Cowboys' two first-round draft picks land after Packers' loss to Vikings image

The Dallas Cowboys wrapped up the 2025 season with a blowout loss to the New York Giants on the road.

Brian Schottenmeier's squad ends the year with a 7-9-1 record and an offseason full of questions that must be answered. Dallas has now missed the playoffs for the second straight season and also ended with a losing record once again.

Though the Cowboys' season was a bit disappointing, the franchise does have a ton of resources to work with this offseason to bolster the roster, especially in the draft.

After trading Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, Dallas acquired a pair of first-round picks, one in 2026 and 2027. The Cowboys also still hold their own pick in April's draft.

That said, let's take a look at where both of Dallas' first-round picks sit in the 2026 NFL Draft order as the season comes to a close.

Where Cowboys' first-round picks land after Week 18

As of right now, the Cowboys hold the No. 12 and No. 20 overall picks in Round 1 of April's draft. The Green Bay Packers' loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18 resulted in the Cowboys' pick via the Packers moving up in the order.

The 20th pick is locked in for Dallas, but there's a scenario where the team can move up to the 11th pick from 12.

If the Miami Dolphins defeat the New England Patriots in Week 18, the Cowboys will have the No. 11 pick.

We'll see how it all plays out.
