NFL Draft Order 2016: Full draft order officially released
With the draft less than a month away, the league has released the official NFL Draft order, including compensatory selections.
On Tuesday, the NFL released their official draft order for the upcoming event. And the Dallas Cowboys currently own high picks in the first, second, third and fourth rounds.
The Cowboys also have four compensatory picks, which they were awarded by the league due to their heavy free agency losses in 2015. Those selections include an extra fourth round pick and three sixth round selections. Compensatory picks can not be traded this year, although that rule will change in 2017.
The Cowboys gave their fifth round selection to the Oakland Raiders to acquire wide receiver Brice Butler last season. But they also received the Raiders sixth round pick in return.
Dallas’ official sixth round pick was traded to the San Francisco 49ers during last year’s draft so the Cowboys could get back into the seventh round to select Texas tight end Geoff Swaim.
Finally, the Cowboys traded their lone seventh round pick to the Seattle Seahawks for running back Christine Michael. Ironically, Michael was released by Dallas in mid-November and has now returned to Seattle.
Check out the full draft order below as reported by Pro Football Talk. The selections by the Dallas Cowboys have been highlighted.
