Will the Cowboys make a trade on draft day? If so, moving down might be the best option. Plus, Dak Prescott moving up the charts, Javonte Williams moving the chains and more.

Make sure you’re ready for the draft with the OFFICIAL 2026 Dallas Cowboys Star Magazine Draft Guide.

Ohio State safety Caleb Downs has worn many hats over the course of his career, playing at multiple positions across the secondary. Could that make him the perfect fit for Christian Parkers' defense in Dallas?

I remember reading in the 1970s that Tex Schramm said the best way to draft in the late rounds was to draft a football body and hope to find a football player in it. This seems better to me than drafting undersized defensive backs and linebackers who were good at the college level but won't hold up at the pro level. What do you think?

Cowboys tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford has been a valuable blocker and special teams piece for Dallas in his two seasons with the team. Now, can he take his receiving game to the next level?

With two first-round picks, and still looking to check missing boxes on their roster, the Cowboys are entertaining all possibilities for the 2026 NFL Draft.

Which position do you think is more important on the offensive line, left guard or left tackle? I realize left tackle protects Dak Prescott's blind side, but I feel guard is more important for the running game, which will then help the passing game. Given that, Tyler Smith is great at either position, but I think he is more needed at guard. What is your opinion?

The Cowboys still have some question marks on the offensive side of the ball and it starts with offensive tackle, where Nate Thomas is eyeing a chance to compete for a spot on either side of the line. 

In 10 days, the Cowboys will be on the clock with two first-round picks. In today's Mock Draft Monday, draft analysts predict who Dallas will pick with their selections. 

Do you think Dallas is all set at the running back position? Javonte Williams had a solid year, but Jaydon Blue didn’t seem ready, and Phil Mafah spent most of the season on IR. Is Malik Davis the answer at No. 2? Do you see them adding a back in the draft?

 A look back at the top Cowboys headlines from the 2026 NFL Owners Meetings in Phoenix, Arizona where Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones and Brian Schottenheimer discussed free agency, the draft, George Pickens' future and more. 

The Cowboys discovered the hard way last year just how valuable a good nickel back is, but they have taken steps to fix the problem this offseason.

The question of who could be the definitive WR3 for the Cowboys was finally answered, as Ryan Flournoy had a coming out party to set the stage for Year 3.

One of the biggest needs going into this offseason has been linebacker, and there are still plenty of good veterans out there – Bobby Wagner, Devin Bush, Germaine Pratt, Deon Jones, Devin White. I mean, surely one of these guys is better than none of them. What am I missing?

Stephon Gilmore, a 13-year veteran who made five Pro Bowls, announced his retirement this week. He played for six teams, including one season with the Cowboys in 2023. 

At NFL Owners Meetings, former Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, who is now the head coach of his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers, shared his thoughts on his former offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and reflected on his time in Dallas. 

The Cowboys have made big changes to the safety position with the addition of two free agents, but in a scheme that plans on being multiple, there should still be a spot for the versatile Markquese Bell.

Tyler Guyton has a lot riding on his ability to remain healthy in 2026, and Brian Schottenheimer admits the Cowboys are still feeling out their O-line strategy.

I recently read your Next Man Up series, and it stated there is always a possibility of moving Tyler Smith to left tackle again. Shouldn't the Cowboys evaluate Tyler Guyton for the long term, and if he is not the answer, draft or trade for a left tackle? Given Dak Prescott’s window, this year is too important to be uncertain on the O-line?
