Dallas holds four picks in 2026 draft

What happened: Dallas plays Green Bay, Philadelphia, Arizona and Indianapolis before the November 10 deadline, with the Eagles game carrying division weight. Dallas has already added Rashan Gary, Dee Winters, Broderick Jones and Joey Porter Jr. this year and holds four 2026 picks across the first, second, fourth and seventh rounds.

Why it matters: The NFC East remains wide open, so a result against Philadelphia can shift the division race. Buying again would likely cost first-round capital while the defense struggles, while George Pickens and T.J. Bass headline potential sell pieces and Maxx Crosby and Josh Sweat have been mentioned as buy-side targets.

By the numbers: George Pickens caught 93 passes for 1,429 yards and 9 touchdowns in 17 games in 2025 with the Cowboys. Dee Winters made 101 tackles with 1 interception in 17 games in 2025, while Joey Porter Jr. made 52 tackles with 1 sack and 1 interception in 14 games in 2025. Dallas sits 2-3 with league-worst EPA per drive entering the four-game stretch.

What to watch: Sunday at Green Bay opens the four-game stretch. The Philadelphia result should clarify whether Dallas buys or sells before November 10.
