The Dallas Cowboys currently hold the 13th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Last week went very well for the Dallas Cowboys as far as draft position is concerned. It is never easy, or preferable, to root for the Cowboys to lose a game and that is often what people tend to struggle with when we talk about things like tanking. As fans of the team, we are afforded the luxury of being able to emotionally focus on the next season while the current one is finishing up, but in reality it is difficult for any players or coaches to choose to lose.
Whatever the case, the Cowboys did lose last week and also saw some other teams who were in front of them (at the time) in the 2025 NFL Draft order win. This is a great combination of events!
As we get set to enter the final week of the season, the Cowboys hold the 13th overall pick.

Fans of the Cincinnati Bengals are likely going to be upset with the way things have gone if their team winds up missing the playoffs. That is how Cowboys fans were feeling a week ago when Dallas was coming off of four wins in their previous five games.
Still though, at this time a week ago the Cowboys held the 15th overall pick per projections but their loss saw them move up just a bit. For what it’s worth, the last time the Cowboys organically held a pick this high was in 2021 when they were originally sitting at 10 overall before moving down to 12 with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys eventually took Micah Parsons and the rest is history.
Here’s to hoping the Cowboys can pick up a bit more help and creep even higher before this all locks up on Sunday.
