3. Trading Up and Selecting Bijan Robinson

The Cowboys trading up and selecting Rob-
inson seems like a wild fantasy. Also, add in
the fact that the Cowboys have only traded
up in the first three rounds once since 2014.

In 2010, the Cowboys traded up from 27th to
24th to take WR Dez Bryant.

In 2012, they moved up from 14th to 6th to
take CB Morris Claiborne.

They moved up 13 spots in the 2nd round in
2014 to take DeMarcus Lawrence.

2. Selecting a WR at 26

.... They've had top-30 visits with 6 WRs:
[ESPN rankings for those WRs]
Jaxon Smith-Njigba [1st, 16th overall]
Zay Flowers [2nd, 21st overall]
Quentin Johnston [4th, 32nd overall]
Johnathan Mingo [5th, 44th overall]
Jalin Hyatt [7th, 54th overall]
Josh Downs [11th, 76th overall]

1. Trading pick 26 for WR Stefon Diggs

During the 2022 NFL Draft, no one saw
AJ Brown being dealt to the Eagles for
the 18th and 101st overall picks. At the
time, the Titans iterated they weren't
dealing Brown during the draft under
any circumstances.

Then it happened.

A player that could surprisingly fall under
that category in this year's draft is Stefon
Diggs. Diggs has not shown up to the Bills'
voluntary workouts to begin the offseason ...

.... there's an obvious conflict between the
All-Pro wideout and his quarterback. Re-
member, Diggs was seen visibly upset after
the Bills' playoff loss to the Bengals -- storm-
ing into the locker room, clearing it out, and
leaving immediately.

[Stefon Diggs career page
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DiggSt00.htm
Stefon turns 30 November 29th; his 4
best years have been his last 4 years,
PFR Approx Values of 13, 15, 12, & 15.]
