Cowboys Consider Drafting WR Cooper, Trade Pickens?

0:00On March 19th, the Dallas Cowboys are bringing an Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. for one of their top 30 visits ahead of the draft. Scout's love is smooth route running and strong ball skills, but grabbing him would likely mean using a first round pick, since they do not have a second round selection. This move comes as a bit of a surprise because the Cowboys have clear needs on defense at linebacker, edge rusher, and cornerback. They already look stacked at wide receiver with CD-LAM, George Pickens, and Ryan Flernoy, ready to go. Fans and Cowboys nation would probably revolt at the idea of trading Pickens, who dominated in 2025, and could be key if the offense has, to carry the team again. Still, the front office has shown they avoid overloading one position, like when they dealt defensive tackle Osa Odiezua recently. No contract talks have happened with Pickens almost two weeks into free agency, and they slapped a non-exclusive franchise tag on him, letting him chat with other teams.

1:01That has some wondering if they might pivot to a lamb and Cooper duo with good trade return. They have also scheduled top 30 visits with Louisville defensive lineman Renee Konga and LSU cornerback, Mansour Delain, so expect more clarity soon. On their draft plans.
