What is the story about?
The Dallas Cowboys are currently on the clock with the 20th overall pick, so I wanted to ask you guys who you would have taken if the Green Bay Packers held their original first-round pick in the 2026 draft and didn’t send it to Dallas for pass-rusher Micah Parsons. Fire off your answer in the comments section. It’ll be interesting to look back at this in a couple of years.
For some inspiration, below are the best players available, according to the consensus draft board, at the time of the 20th overall
selection.
Update: The Cowboys traded the 20th overall pick to the Philadelphia Eagles.
