How the Dallas Cowboys Just Got MAJOR Help in Round 1... Thanks to the Giants?

Author: Zachary Lee April 20, 2026 Duration: 12:20

The board just shifted—and it might’ve handed Dallas exactly what they needed.

On this episode of DoubleMove, Zac breaks down how the Dallas Cowboys could benefit BIG TIME from the New York Giants trading for Dexter Lawrence and jumping back into the top 10. With the Cincinnati Bengals now OUT of that range, a guaranteed defensive pick disappears—and that changes everything for Dallas at #12.

We dig into what this means for the draft board, why the Giants’ roster (on BOTH sides of the ball) makes them unpredictable, and how their decision-making could push one of those top defensive prospects right into the Cowboys’ lap. From Caleb Downs to Sonny Styles, the names Cowboys fans have been watching for months are suddenly a lot more attainable.

Plus, we talk through the ripple effect across the top 10—why teams like Washington, New Orleans, and others could prioritize offense, and how that “offense-heavy” trend could set Dallas up perfectly. And if the board falls just right? Don’t rule out a potential trade-up scenario.

If you’re trying to map out how the Cowboys land a difference-maker in Round 1… this is one of the clearest paths yet.
