Two Reports Open Door to Dallas Cowboys Dream Scenario in Round 1 of NFL Draft

A pair of reports is very good news for the Dallas Cowboys ‘ chances of landing two NFL Draft prospects they are very high on. We are just a couple of weeks away from this year’s draft, and there has been a lot of speculation about what the Cowboys will do. Due to another losing season and a major trade before last season’s trade deadline, they head into this month’s event with not one, but two picks in the top 20.

After back-to-back seven-win seasons, getting a pair of elite prospects gives Dallas the chance to address two issues on the roster. However, having two first-rounders also gives them a pair of very nice assets to move up and go after a player projected to be selected in the top 10. Caleb Downs trending to fall to the Dallas Cowboys at 12?

However, new buzz around the game is suggesting the team could land either without a trade.

In a recent conversation with Blogging the Boys , ESPN draft expert Peter Schrager explained that, despite Downs being one of the best players in this year’s class and having a very high football IQ, the trends from previous years show teams will always pass on a good safety to get a stud cornerback, pass rusher and wide receiver if they have needs at those spots. In 2022, Kyle Hamilton was supposed to be a top 10 pick and went 14th to the Baltimore Ravens . Four years before that, Derwin James was projected to go in the top 10 and was taken at 18 by the Los Angeles Chargers .
