Last week, Cowboys Wire went through almost every conceivable trade scenario the Dallas Cowboys could use to move up from their No. 58 perch in the 2019 NFL draft. Can Dallas risk waiting to see if any top prospects fall to them? Do they trust they’ll be able to find an impact player if they stay put?
If they can’t risk trusting that, then they’ll need to move up. In this week’s mock draft, run on Fanspeak’s On the Clock Simulator, we did just that. Using our trade value calculations, we approached this draft with the intent of moving up should a high-value target start to fall. Just that happened, bringing us a test of whether we could put our money where our mouth is. Check out the gallery, or below to go through the various prospect profiles.

Cowboys 7-round Mock Draft: April 15, 2019
Trade 2nd round (93) + 2020 1st rounder (117) to Chargers for 1.28
This is Tier 3 on our trade totem, getting Dallas into the back of the first round to grab a key player.
1.28 T.J. Hockensen, TE, Iowa

We can’t forsee a possibility that Hockensen slides this far, but this was the tier we rated him as on our Top 30 Big Board and there he was so we made the move. Hockenson is looked at as one of the best tight end prospects to come out of the draft in some time. Don’t let the limited stats fool you from thinking. He’s a plus-blocking tight end in a run-first offense.
His athleticism screams out and once the film comes on his savvy as a receiving option shines through. Has ability to be the heir to the Gronkowski throne as the most complete TE in the game.
