Cowboys Trade Pickens? Draft Drama Unfolds

0:00It's April 24th, Dallas News. Today starts now, AI powered and ready. I'm Cory with the story. The Dallas Cowboys just slapped the franchise tag on why receiver George Pickens, and he agreed to sign it super early, way before most players do. This sets up a wild storyline, heading into day two of the 2026 NFL Draft, with trade rumors heating up fast. The timing feels off Cowboys announced no long-term extension the day before the draft, even though they had until July 15th. They publicly deny any trade talks, but in the NFL, especially with Dallas, anything can happen quick. Fans and analysts are buzzing because day two looks perfect for moving Pickens, probably netting a second, or third-round pick, given his contract. It had given the Cowboys ammo to grab a replacement receiver right away. Picture this, one scenario sends Pickens to the Chiefs for their 40th overall pick, letting Dallas-nagged big-body Denzel Boston as a direct swap, with similar skills.

1:01Another flips him to the Raiders for the 67th pick, where they draft Speedster, Dejon Stribbling to stretch the field opposite CD-Lam. Either way, keep eyes on those middle rounds today. Cowboys could reshape their receiving core in a flash and keep the draft drama rolling strong.
