(possible projected trade)
9.Cowboys acquire 9th overall pick from Jaguars in exchange for the 17th overall pick and the 52nd overall pick
This scenario reminds me of what the
Steelers did last year, trading the 20th pick, the 52nd pick and a 2020 third-round pick to the
Broncos in exchange for the 10th overall pick, a pick they used to select inside linebacker
Devin Bush. While the Steelers could have waited to see if Bush would have been available at 20 (unlikely), Pittsburgh decided to be proactive while grabbing the player they had been eying all along.
The Cowboys, who lost cornerback
Byron Jones to the Dolphins at the start of free agency, may make a similar move, although I don't think it would cost them a future mid-round pick, as was the case with the Steelers. The Cowboys are in need of a major upgrade at the cornerback position, and they may decide to move up to grab Okudah if the Giants (who are expected to take Isaiah Simmons or an offensive tackle with the fourth pick) and Panthers pass on him. Okudah will likely not make it to the 17th pick, which is why the Cowboys may trade up in order to secure the draft's top-rated cornerback. The Cowboys' other needs (specifically at safety and on the defensive line) may prevent them from making a move like this.
