We end up with the top pick at 1 and trade down to between 4 and 7 for a king's ransom which includes a 1st round pick in the 2026 draft. Hopefully, the team they trade with has another bad year and that pick is a high pick in 2026.

Whoever we draft at 4 to 7 will be a top player because 2 qbs should go before we pick.

Teams will take advantage of Jerry as they usually do. There’s no clear cut premier QB so I don’t think there will be teams desperate enough to pay what you are suggesting.
The Raiders have a long history of making mistakes in the draft. Say you are on the board at 1. What would you do?

It’s sad as a Cowboys fan that I am checking Tankathon daily and looking at the schedules of the 2 win teams. There is a way we get the number 1 pick surprisingly.

If we get a top five pick I trade. Actually; I would try and get to say ten and then trade again to fifteen depending on who is on the board at ten. We could collect a number of second and third rd picks which is where the real value is in this draft

Jerry will trade down for ( 3 ) 4th round picks for his 1st round and sell that he is maverick

If you trade out of #1, you should be 3 FRP's in total

Draft trades are pretty cut and dry though. Picks have an established value

They actually could make a deal to control the draft this year and next year that will greatly improve the team.

Do any teams have 2 2nd rounders that need a QB that would trade up?

Don’t think so…so mine is probably trading back a few spots, adding a 3rd and 4th and still landing someone like Graham / Parsons 2.0

I have watched the top players in the draft and to be honest you could make an argument that even Hunter (#1 player)is not the top cornerback prospect. There are some really good prospects in the top 20. The Cowboys will be in a good position even if they win a few games to end the season. Sanders and Ward are good quarterback prospects but they are not special. I don’t see many trades unless teams want to give up capital for next years draft that should have better quarterback prospects. My point is we shouldn’t panic if say the defense, Lance, and Mingo lead us to win two more games.

It's not sad...It's a chance to upgrade the team.
Upgrade?

You spent all off season saying this team was basically perfect and didnt need upgrades. 12-5 3 years in a row remember?

Ill save you the trouble and give you what you give me when you get challenged on your past post history.

LOL

What do you want to do with the top 5 pick and the free agent money that's coming? How about the 2nd pick at the top of the 2nd round? Do you have a clue or are you just mad? What running back do you want? What coach would you like to see come in?
