The Dallas Cowboys’ 48-32 loss to the Green Bay Packers ends another long journey prematurely. While many thought this was finally going to be the year the franchise returned to an NFC Championship game, the team couldn’t make it out of the wild-card round for the second time in three years. Disappointment finds them once again as the team had an opportunity they failed to capitalize on.
Now the offseason begins, and while the club has several free agency decisions to make internally, the front office has long ago decided that won’t be their main method of talent improvement. That will come in the draft, where the club now knows they’ll be drafting No. 24 in each round.
Here’s a look at the Cowboys’ draft picks, including their projected compensatory picks, as well as the full first-round order as its known now.
