Cowboys' Draft Strategy: Top Defense, Smart Trades

0:00It's April 22nd. This is NFL News Today Football coverage powered by AI. The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for the 2026 NFL Draft with two prime first round picks at number 20 and number 20. Their rumor to be open to trades, but only smart ones to snag the talent they need without overpaying. Insiders say the Cowboys stay disciplined after years of sharp drafting. They won't package both picks just to jump for one star player. A slight slide up from number 12 makes sense if a target slips into range. Experts praise their track record, and one mod draft sees them grabbing Tennessee cornerback to your mod McCoy at 12, then Oregon Safety Dylan. The Enemon at 20. That pick came from last year's deal involving mycoparsins. More buzz points to trading down from number 20 as the real play. With no second rounder after the Quinn and Williams swap, they want extra day to ammo to plug multiple defensive gaps like safety and corner spots.

1:00Keep eyes on Thursday as Dallas balances landing top defensive help without burning bridges, setting up their roster rebuild just right.
