Cowboys' Tyson Trade Leverage: Stack Picks

0:00On April 23rd, Jordan Tyson is blowing up as a top receiver prospect in this NFL draft class, and with the Cowboys sitting at Pick 12, they might. Have a golden chance to trade down. The guy's stock has skyrocketed lately, creating real buzz that could make teams panic if he's still on the board. Teams ahead might hesitate, but ones right behind, like the Jets at Pick 16, could get that fear of missing out and call Dallas up. Cowboys lack a second rounder, so flipping their spot for extra picks while staying in range for talent sounds smart. Fans and analysts are hyped about this leverage play, seeing how Tyson's rise puts Dallas in control. The Cowboys need defensive help bad, and more mid-round picks beat late-round flyers every time. Picture the Jets offering their 16th overall plus their 44th pick for Dallas's 12th then nets the Cowboys a second rounder without. Dropping too far, or go Boulder, snack Pick 33-2, maybe toss in a day 3 sweetener if the Jets are desperate.

1:02Either way, if Tyson sparks that trade frenzy, Dallas walks away stronger, stacking picks to build for the long haul.
