The Dallas Cowboys were awarded four compensatory picks and now have 10 picks total.
The NFL’s new league year officially begins on Wednesday, but that has not stopped all sorts of free agency fun amid the legal tampering period. Consider that the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to terms with four external free agents on top of negotiating new deals for players like Osa Odighizuwa and KaVontae Turpin.
As the league settles into a new year they are doing so with all of their ducks in a row. On Tuesday afternoon the NFL set the final bit of pieces in motion for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft and announced compensatory picks for clubs.
The Dallas Cowboys picked up four compensatory picks, three in the fifth round and one in the sixth.

The Cowboys began Tuesday with six draft picks to their name so now have a total of 10. Even with compensatory picks added in they still do not have a fourth-round selection.
- 1st
- 2nd
- 3rd
- 5th
- 5th (comp pick)
- 5th (comp pick)
- 5th (comp pick)
- 6th
- 6th (comp pick)
- 7th (from Carolina Panthers)
In case you forgot, the Cowboys sent their original seventh-round pick to the Detroit Lions during the first round of last year’s draft when they moved down; however, they did get one back from Carolina in the Jonathan Mingo trade (that’s where Dallas’ fourth-round pick went).
Here are the picks in terms of where they are in the overall draft order.
- 1st (12)
- 2nd (44)
- 3rd (76)
- 5th (149)
- 5th (170)
- 5th (171)
- 5th (174)
- 6th (188)
- 6th (211)
- 7th (247)
10 picks is a lot for the Cowboys in one draft, we will see if they use them or trade some.
