Cowboys Headlines: Pickens to be pre-draft trade? Quality free agents remain on market

Jerry and Stephen Jones, in all likelihood, absolutely love this time of year, especially this year. Sitting on two top-20 draft picks, they know they have the ammunition to pull a big move and go get a top-10 player if they so choose. But they also know other teams are likely to be calling with potentially juicy offers for at least one of those Night 1 selections.

While the Joneses mull over all the options in front of them, it's also conceivable they could wind up with another first-round pick... if a team looking to get over the hump decides to break their own bank to pry George Pickens away. Could leaving open that possibility be one reason why there's been no movement on getting a long-term deal done with the talented wide receiver?

And even though it's all about the draft for the next nine to 11 days, there are still quality free agents out there on the open market. The Cowboys still have money they can spend to address roster needs, even after the draft. Would a late signing of a veteran leader like Bobby Wagner really shock anybody?

Also, today's headlines look at the defensive prospects who came to town for Dallas Day... and who, notably, did not. Word out of Frisco is that Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy "is not expected to be in play for the Cowboys because of his injury history.
