NFL Draft's most interesting teams: How can the Cowboys turn their picks into...

The Dallas Cowboys have an extra first-round pick in the NFL Draft. It didn’t come for free.

The Cowboys have to make those firsts count. They aren’t on the clock again until the 92nd pick, late in the third round. And if those picks help right away, it might make the d
