We have been saying they can trade for one for a while now. The Dallas Cowboys have a need at linebacker and nobody wants them to enter the NFL draft that way. So a trade makes sense. Burn a pick, fill the hole, and allow yourself to draft freely. It is very logical.<\/p>\n
You can (obviously) apply this logic across an entire roster. There are different levels of needs so nothing is completely identical, but the point is that filling a spot with an existing player instead of using a draft pick during the draft itself to do it is one way to approach things that can be beneficial. Look at how the Cowboys did it at wide receiver with George Pickens last year, although that trade occurred after the draft and not before it.<\/p>\n
There is a new veteran option available at cornerback<\/p>\n
On Friday it was reported that the Indianapolis Colts and cornerback Kenny Moore mutually agreed to seek a trade partner for him. Hello.<\/p>\n
Moore has bee a stable part of Indianapolis\u2019 defense for almost a decade now. He is hardly someone who could be viewed as a long-term answer for the Cowboys, but he could provide an answer at the position for 2026 and therefore eliminate the intense need (as things currently stand) at cornerback in the here and now.<\/p>\n
Say something absurd happens like Caleb Downs legitimately falling to the Cowboys at 12 overall (one NFL insider believes this is possible<\/a>). Dallas could take him (we would riot if they didn\u2019t) and pivot to the best player available at 20 and have cornerback at least addressed for the upcoming season. This is just one hypothetical, but you get the point.<\/p>\n
