A new 2026 NFL mock draft has the Dallas Cowboys bolstering the defense, with two picks addressing major areas of concern.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end James Houston is likely looking at a big fine from the NFL for his late hit on Lions QB Jared Goff.

Pickens joined the Cowboys in the offseason via a trade deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dallas gave up a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick to Pittsburgh in exchange for Pickens and a 2027 sixth-rounder.

The entire defense could look different for the Dallas Cowboys if they land the two studs linked to them in this 3-round 2026 NFL mock draft.

A lot contributed to the loss — turnovers, kickoff coverage and Dallas' defense allowed scores on six of the Lions' final seven possessions.

Charissa Thompson headed to Ford Field along with the rest of the Amazon Prime Video crew for the broadcast of the “Thursday Night Football” matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions. Thompson was in attendance as the Lions took down the Cowboys in a hotly contested affair, 44-30.

The pregame runway is one of the best places to show out, and Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb made sure to do exactly that. He wore an all-black fit with a leather jacket and Goyard duffel bag in his left hand.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens had one of his worst games of the season against the Detroit Lions and received some harsh criticism as a result.
