The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> are gearing up for a crucial Week 7 showdown with the division rival Washington Commanders<\/a> on Sunday afternoon that could make or break the team’s 2025-26 NFL <\/a>campaign. <\/p>\n

Entering the weekend, the Cowboys sit at 2-3-1, while the Commanders are at .500, with a 3-3 record. That means second place in the NFC East is up for grabs.<\/a><\/p>\n

While Dallas is still in the mix in the wide-open divisional race, there are a lot of holes on the roster that will need to be addressed either before the trade deadline or during the offseason through free agency and the NFL Draft<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Luckily for Dallas, the team currently has two first-round picks. While there is still a long season ahead, if the draft were to be held today, the Cowboys would hold a pick just outside of the top 10, and another at the end of Round 1. <\/p>\n

Ahead of Sunday afternoon, the Cowboys are currently slated at No. 11 and No. 30 overall. The late first-round pick was acquired from the Green Bay Packers<\/a> as part of the Micah Parsons<\/a> trade. With a loss to Washington, the Cowboys could slide into a top-10 position. <\/p>\n

The No. 1 overall pick would belong to the winless New York Jets<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The 2026 NFL Draft will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from Thursday, April 23, through Saturday, April 25.<\/p>\n
