\"AA proposed draft day trade between the Jets and Cowboys could net New York additional first-round picks in 2027.NYC Today<\/p>\n

The New York Jets are entering the 2026 NFL Draft with four picks in the top 44 selections, including the second overall pick. However, ESPN’s Bill Barnwell has proposed a trade that would see the Jets deal that second overall pick to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for the 12th overall pick in 2026, the Cowboys’ fourth-round pick (112th overall) in 2026, and two additional first-round picks and a third-round pick in 2027.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/p>\n

This proposed trade would give the Jets a significant haul of additional draft capital, including a potential fourth first-round pick in 2027. This could allow the Jets to further bolster their roster and set themselves up for long-term success, especially if they are able to land a franchise-altering player with one of those 2027 first-rounders.<\/p>\n

The details<\/p>\n

Under the proposed trade, the Cowboys would receive the Jets’ second overall pick in 2026, as well as a fifth-round pick in 2027. In return, the Jets would get the Cowboys’ 12th overall pick in 2026, their fourth-round pick (112th overall) in 2026, and two first-round picks and a third-round pick in 2027.<\/p>\n

The 2026 NFL Draft is scheduled for April 2026.<\/p>\n
