The NFL draft is here.
The Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to make eight selections over the next three days that will determine how the 2026 squad looks heading deeper into the offseason.
Once the season ends each January, the draft process is a four-month sprint to this weekend, with the Senior Bowl, NFL combine, Pro Day visits and in-house facility visits all making up a few parts of what the Cowboys can do to scout prospects on and off the field.
