Dallas Cowboys remaining draft selections after second and third rounds

The first two days of the 2026 NFL Draft are officially in the book. So far the Dallas Cowboys have been busy.

They made two trades in the first round, moving up and then down, and ultimately came away with Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence. Early in the second round they dealt a fifth-round pick to acquire veteran linebacker Dee Winters, and then they took Jaishawn Barham in the third round.

These are important moves as things relate to the upcoming season for the Cowboys, but there is still work to do.

Remaining Dallas Cowboys Selections

As things stand the Cowboys have four selections to play with on Day 3. They have two extra fourth-rounders that the Eagles gave them when Dallas moved down from 20 to 23 overall, and they have dealt away all of the three fifth-round picks that they began the draft with. Two were spent to move up from 12 to 11 to select Caleb Downs and the other was swapped for Dee Winters.

How do you feel about the Day 3 ammunition? The Cowboys are going to be quite busy early in the fourth round and that is going to be the serious bulk of what they do barring any other trade down the road.
