The Cowboys maintained their hold on the 3rd overall pick through the bye week, but things got a little more complicated in the draft order. The Cowboys are tied with three other teams at 2-7, and hold the 3rd overall spot only by virtue of their Strength of Schedule. If the season were to end today, teams with identical records would “cycle” picks in each round. For the Cowboys, that means they have the 3rd spot in the first round, then drop to the 6th spot in the second round, move back up to the 5th spot in the third round, the 4th spot in the fourth round, and so on as the draft order for the Cowboys, Washington, the Chargers, and Miami (via Houston) cycles in each round.
Heading into 2021 draft, Cowboys could have most draft capital since 1992
