The\u00a0NFL draft\u00a0is coming this Thursday and the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0hold the 12th overall pick. They have 10 draft picks to use in the seven rounds, but as is always the case, most of the attention is on the first round.<\/p>\n<p id=\"SKLLVb\">It feels like there are three main positions of need dominating Cowboys\u2019 fan interest in for their pick at 12 &#8211; wide receiver, cornerback, and running back. Obviously there are dissenting opinion from those three groups, but in general it is expected that those are the positions the Cowboys will want to address early in the draft.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yML7e0\">Over at Fan Duel, they have wide receiver as the top odd for pick 12 at +105. Cornerback comes in at +600, while the running back odds lag far behind at +1000.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9CkAwz\">We asked your opinion on what position group the Cowboys will select at pick 12, and we got an overwhelming response. Wide receiver is the easy winner.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"e-image\"><span class=\"e-image__inner\"><span class=\"e-image__image \" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25959615\/Dallas_1_41725.png\"><picture class=\"c-picture\" data-cid=\"site\/picture_element-1745136161_1661_241085\" data-cdata=\"{&quot;asset_id&quot;:25959615,&quot;ratio&quot;:&quot;*&quot;}\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/5NYrw8_lBAxjvPmrfKEzx_qtUFs=\/0x0:1080x1350\/320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1080x1350):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25959615\/Dallas_1_41725.png 320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/5bFtJtpIsc6x41AqP4VEpkZEcjg=\/0x0:1080x1350\/520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1080x1350):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25959615\/Dallas_1_41725.png 520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/ZpZesYsv7Gq9C9qw2VXHXcKFnag=\/0x0:1080x1350\/720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1080x1350):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25959615\/Dallas_1_41725.png 720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/JYSDiaf4_Fs3OgEnk0FBWQlRmxk=\/0x0:1080x1350\/920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1080x1350):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25959615\/Dallas_1_41725.png 920w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/Yf0di7vwYx7gIa2kmLCWYkjo48w=\/0x0:1080x1350\/1120x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1080x1350):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25959615\/Dallas_1_41725.png 1120w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/EZAnp9BTxLIcfo0CoSxk_hfkChM=\/0x0:1080x1350\/1320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1080x1350):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25959615\/Dallas_1_41725.png 1320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/Mr7nsVkhwtgUxMvAukPbYcW9o0w=\/0x0:1080x1350\/1520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1080x1350):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25959615\/Dallas_1_41725.png 1520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/1-pcY18mdNthD9OzH8VCl6IJmn0=\/0x0:1080x1350\/1720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1080x1350):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25959615\/Dallas_1_41725.png 1720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/KTkLnVhb2iPrvz1RD2e_tDWTe8Y=\/0x0:1080x1350\/1920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1080x1350):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25959615\/Dallas_1_41725.png 1920w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1221px) 846px, (min-width: 880px) calc(100vw -
