If you haven’t seen the Cowboys pre-draft press conference be sure to check it out in its entirety. The most intriguing nugget was when Jerry Jones was asked about possibly trading up for one player in the draft. Jerry said the Cowboys have practiced “that exercise ALOT”. Is this just Jerry throwing out some pre-draft smoke, or is this real?
Jerry pointed out that this is the first draft with the new CBA, and basically its easier to make a move up in the draft than years before since its no where near as cost prohibitive in regards to the cap.
The Cowboys are at #14, but this intrigue makes you wonder who the Cowboys have been practicing a trade up for, is it still Mark Barron, or will the Cowboys just take fans for a major “whoa” moment and draft someone else. The Cowboys can probably move up 4-5 spots without spending a kings ransom and assure their target dons the star.
Stay tuned! tomorrow is going to be a roller coaster!

I absolutely love this trade for both teams.
The Dallas Cowboys now have one the game’s best duos at cornerback in Morris Claiborne and Brandon Carr. Claiborne is arguably more NFL-ready than Patrick Peterson was a year ago (at least in terms of coverage) and will make an immediate impact in Dallas.
As for the trade, I’m ok with teams trading up for players when they believe...

The Cowboys were busy in free agency and I would expect them to sign a few more players before everything is said and done with. The Cowboys took care of their seemingly top issues with signing two guards and Brandon Carr to replace Terrance Newman but that does not mean they will draft a player at those positions either. So based on based on these recent signings, here is a list...
