Packers’ Wild-Card Loss Locks Cowboys’ Parsons-Trade Pick at No. 20

Two top-20 selections give Dallas unusual flexibility entering the offseason.

Overview

  • Dallas now holds the No. 12 pick from its own record and the No. 20 pick via Green Bay in the 2026 NFL Draft.
  • Green Bay’s wild-card defeat to Chicago, combined with Carolina’s earlier loss, fixed the acquired pick at No. 20 rather than No. 19.
  • The No. 20 selection stems from the Micah Parsons trade, which also sent a 2027 first-rounder and defensive lineman Kenny Clark to Dallas.
  • The Packers enter the offseason without a 2026 first-round pick as part of the Parsons deal.
  • Parsons’ torn ACL in Week 15 remains a factor for Green Bay’s roster planning as the draft approaches in late April.
