The Dallas Cowboys might make a big move in the upcoming draft. They have the No. 12 pick, but instead of using it to grab a top player, they might trade it away for a better future. A proposed trade would send that pick to the Green Bay Packers for their No. 23, No. 54, and a 2026 third-rounder. This move would give the Cowboys more opportunities to land players who fit their needs, even if it means passing on a potential game-changer like safety Malaki Starks.
In the draft, the Cowboys could target a replacement for DeMarcus Lawrence, who recently left for the Seahawks. One option is Shemar Stewart, a strong defensive end who could team up with Micah Parsons. But there’s also a chance they could go after a running back like Ashton Jeanty, though picking one at No. 12 might be too risky since running backs don’t usually go that high. However, the Cowboys believe they can find a quality back later, so moving the pick for more assets could make sense.
