The Dallas Cowboys may have gone for broke in the 2025 season by making win-now moves like acquiring George Pickens and Quinnen Williams, but the Micah Parsons trade was so destructive for the defense that it prevented Dak Prescott from leading this team to the playoffs.

The best way forward for Jones and the Cowboys is to copy what goes down in this 2026 NFL Mock Draft.
