Cowboys Draft Dilemma: Defense or Offense?
23 Apr
Summary
- Cowboys may pick offense over defense in the draft.
- George Pickens contract talks have stalled; trade unlikely.
- Dallas holds two first-round picks for potential trades.
The Dallas Cowboys are preparing for a potentially active 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh. The team holds two first-round selections, providing substantial leverage for potential trades.
While defensive improvements are a priority, the Cowboys might opt for the best available player, even on offense. This strategy could lead them to select a player like Arizona State wide receiver Jordan Tyson, although this remains speculative.
Regarding wide receiver George Pickens, contract extension talks have reportedly stalled, and he has been franchise-tagged. Despite this, any mid-draft trade for Pickens is considered unlikely, as the Cowboys appear committed to keeping him.
Dallas possesses the assets, including picks No. 12 and No. 20, to potentially move up significantly in the draft, possibly into the top five. How they utilize these two first-round picks in trade scenarios is a major storyline to watch.
