NFL Draft Guru Suggests Blockbuster Dallas Cowboys Trade

The Dallas Cowboys could definitely use a spark on the heels of back-to-back disappointing offseasons. And when they did make headlines, it wasn't always for the right reasons.

Per the NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah, there's still a way for the Cowboys to make a big splash in next month's draft in Titletown — and that's to move up and make a push for Colorado's Travis Hunter.

"I miss the days when the Cowboys were aggressive & fun. Spice it up. Trade up for Travis Hunter," Jeremiah posted to X.

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones previously said that the team would be "selectively aggressive" when it comes to free agency and the draft.

"We're gonna look at everything we can. We're going to be selectively aggressive," Jones explained. "…You have certain amount of resources they'll allow to have. We'll look at that, but we're going to try to improve our football team, not try but we're gonna improve our football team. We expect to have success next year."

It's been a long time since the Jones Family went out and paid what it took to bring the biggest stars to Dallas (a la the George Steinbrenner Yankees or the modern-day Dodgers).

The Cowboys are the most valuable franchise in sports at over $10 billion, but sometimes you can't tell.

Dallas currently hold the 12th overall pick in the upcoming draft so they have some capital to potentially trade up. Whether or not a team in the top three would be willing to deal with them (or if they'll even be aggressive enough to seek one) is another story however.

Jerry and Co. haven't had a dynamic two-way athlete like Hunter since his head coach, Deion Sanders. And how fun would that be to see Travis continue Coach Prime's legacy with a Star on his helmet?
