Cowboys Face Draft Dilemma with Giants Ahead

0:00On April 20th, Dallas Cowboys sitting at pick number 12 in the 2026 NFL draft on April 23rd, eyeing a short list of defensive, studs like Arville Reese, David Bailey, Mansoor Delain, Caleb Downs, and Sunny Styles, maybe even Ruben Bane if the buzz pans out. With 11 picks ahead, they need some luck to snag one without a slide. This weekend shook things up when NFC East foes, the nearer Giants, traded all pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals for pick number. 10. Now Big Blue holds 5 and 10, putting two bites at Cowboys' targets before Dallas even picks. Fans and analysts see the overlap in needs. Minebackers in safeties like Styles and Downs could vanish quick. Giants under new coach John Harbaugh, who built beasts in Baltimore, might double down on D, leaving Dallas scrambling. Cowboys best bet is New York splitting picks, grabbing a receiver or tackle to, since their roster holes run deep on offense. Still, that top 10 duo amps the pressure on America's team.
