The Dallas Cowboys are set to host top draft prospect Omar Cooper Jr on Thursday, giving them an upper hand in negotiations with George Pickens. Cooper, a 22-year-old wide receiver, has been in top form after leading his college team to a National Championship win and 16-0 record with the Indiana Hoosiers.
With eight total selections in the upcoming draft, including two first-round picks at No 12 and No 20, the Cowboys have enough to trade and boost their Dak Prescott-led offense. Pro Football Focus' Jordan Plocher predicts that the team will trade both picks to target Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love.
NFL insider Albert Breer believes that no team will give up two first-rounders and a monster contract for Pickens, making the Cowboys' chances of retaining him slim.
Cooper, a well-rounded receiver with a sturdy build and athleticism, could be a realistic option for the Cowboys at No 20. Pairing him with Dak Prescott and an already talented receiving corps could elevate the offense and create matchup problems.
