What happened: The Dallas Cowboys have acquired the No. 11 overall pick from the Jacksonville Jaguars in a draft-night trade. Dallas sent its No. 20 pick, No. 56 pick and a 2027 third-round selection to Jacksonville. The Cowboys are now on the clock with the 11th selection.

Why it matters: This aggressive move signals Dallas prioritizing a high-upside player at premium positions like WR or EDGE amid a thin Cowboys roster post-2025 season. It alters draft boards league-wide and boosts Cowboys' Super Bowl. Historically, trading up in Round 1 has yielded mixed results for Dallas but addresses key needs.

What to watch: Watch Cowboys' selection at No. 11 for potential targets like WR Tetairoa McMillan or EDGE Nic Scourton. Monitor Jaguars' moves with added mid-round capital.
