"According to Dane Brugler, only 14 players have a first-round grade for him this year in the 2026 draft class. That seems to be pretty close to the consensus conclusion for many scouts and personnel people around the league, emphasizing the lack of top-level talent available this year."
"Brugler also assigned an additional 23 players with a 1st/2nd-round grade, bringing the total to 37 players who could potentially be drafted in the first round. Currently holding No. 12 and No. 20 in the first-round is reason to believe the Cowboys get a couple of players from this group, barring any trades of course."
"Barring a trade up or down, staying put at both No. 12 and No. 20 wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. With the 12th overall pick several of the 14 players Brugler graded as first-rounders should still be available for Dallas."
Dane Brugler's 'The Beast' is a comprehensive guide for the 2026 NFL Draft, highlighting key prospects and their potential selections. Only 14 players have a first-round grade, indicating a lack of elite talent. Brugler also identifies 23 additional players with 1st/2nd-round grades, totaling 37 potential first-round picks. The Dallas Cowboys hold the 12th and 20th overall picks, suggesting they could secure top talent. Staying at these positions may benefit the Cowboys, as several graded players should still be available.
