Updated 2026 NFL draft order after Cowboys' major Thanksgiving win

The Dallas Cowboys have found themselves in the middle of a late-season NFL playoff push after a three-game November winning streak.

Dallas is riding high with the team’s momentum, which has shifted the focus back to this season rather than the 2026 NFL draft. But while the team is winning, the draft position is slipping.

After a big win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day, Dallas’ first of two first-round picks has slipped out of the top-15. The Green Bay Packers, who sent their first-round pick to the Cowboys in the Micah Parsons trade, also won on Thanksgiving.

If the draft were held today, the team would own the No. 16 and No. 24 overall picks in the first round.

The No. 1 overall pick would belong to the Tennessee Titans, while the New York Giants and the New Orleans Saints round out the top three.
