Cowboys Eye Defense with Extra First‑Round Pick

The Dallas Cowboys now have two first‑round selections—12th overall and 20th from the Packers—after parting with Micah Parsons. With a defense that allowed the most points last season, the team plans to use the picks to add instant defensive impact, following recent moves like acquiring Quinnen Williams and Rashan Gary. Owner Jerry Jones said the club will consider trading up or down to maximize value, keeping options open for a playoff‑ready roster.
