The Cowboys would like to get Bijan Robinson and if he is there at 26 they would take him. I could see them doing a slight trade up maybe to 21 or 23 to get Robinson or stay put at 26 and take him if he is there.

If Robinson is gone they could stay at 26 and take one of Nolan Smith, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Michael Mayer, Darnell Wright, Drew Sanders, Myles Murphy, Zay Flowers, or a surprise player that dropped.

If they feel strongly about getting Steve Avila they could also trade back and take Avila or they could trade back and take Will McDonald, Jahmyr Gibbs, Emmanuel Forbes, or a receiver like Josh Downs or Cedric Tillman.

It is going to be interesting. I can't wait to see what happens.

Don't trade up for a TB in the first.

And there are rumors Philly might trade for Derrick Henry, which would make Robinson to Philly a non-starter.

so basically every prospect in the first round?

There is no chance they trade up for Bijon.

Pretty close to what you named. You pretty mentioned most of them and most positions. Think you can narrow it down a little?

I can say with confidence that they arent taking a RB in the first, will not trade up for Bijon and wont be drafting a WR in the first. Although you can never count out what Jerry is capable of.

I named 14 players which is less than half of 31 and the deal is that you can't narrow it down.

Its not a math problem. You mentioned lots of things is the point. Kinda sounds like you dont know what will happen.

That's my thinking as well. But Jerry is capable of anything. He hasn't traded up in a long time. He loves RBs!!! He could do the unthinkable.

In fairness, if you added O'Cyrus Torrence and Darnell Washington you'd have named pretty much everyone that gets regularly mocked between 15-31 with the added bonus of it could be "a surprise player that drops". I do think it's more wide open this year than most though.

Seems somewhat legit. The guy who initially floated the rumor is represented by same agency apparently.

But who really knows. Henry has only one more year left on his deal which would seem ideal for Philly and their current cap structure.

Henry in that offense? Yikes.

I agree. Robinson is an instant juhrsuh sailin sansashun.

I’d like to think he doesn’t have as influence as he once did, but who knows what he may pull.

Personally I’d fine with it at 26 but they’d better nail the rest of the picks and find dudes to block up front. I don’t think that OL is as solid as some want to believe in its current state.

They flat out can’t overlook it and claim to be fine as is. They need help there much more than TE.
