Cowboys’ 2022 NFL Draft Picks: Who Dallas Took Each Round

After a 12-win season, the Cowboys hold the No. 24 pick in the first round of this year’s draft.

The Cowboys ended last season with another early playoff exit, and enter 2022 with their sights set on changing their postseason narrative. The first step would be to come close to replicating last year’s success with their first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft.

Dallas used the No. 12 pick last year to snag linebacker Micah Parsons, who became an instant star, winning the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year award and earning first-team All-Pro honors. The Cowboys won’t pick until No. 24 this year after posting a 12–5 record and winning the NFC East for the first time since 2018.

The Cowboys pick three times in the top 100, and also hold four fifth-round selections, so they might have some flexibility on Day 3.

Dallas has eight picks in the draft. Here is how the Cowboys’ draft has turned out thus far (to be updated during NFL draft):

• Round 1, Pick 24: Tyler Smith, OT, Tulsa 
• Round 2, Pick 56: Sam Williams, OLB, Ole Miss
• Round 3, Pick 88: Jalen Tolbert, WR, South Alabama
• Round 4, Pick 129: Jake Ferguson, TE, Wisconsin
• Round 5, Pick 155 (from Browns): Matt Waletzko, OT, North Dakota

• Round 5, Pick 178 (Compensatory): John Ridgeway, DT, Arkansas
• Round 6, Pick 193 (from Browns): Devin Harper, LB, Oklahoma State
