The Dallas Cowboys are poised to have an upper hand in their negotiations with top WR George Pickens, who could demand a lucrative contract this off-season.
The team has been hosting top draft prospect Omar Cooper Jr., a 22-year-old who led his college team in receptions and receiving yards, making him a perfect pair with projected No 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza.
Cowboys have eight total selections in the upcoming draft, including two first-round picks at No 12 and No 20, giving them enough to trade and boost the Dak Prescott-led offense.
Pro Football Focus' Jordan Plocher predicts that the Cowboys will trade both picks to target Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, helping Dallas build an offensive core that will terrify opposing coaches.
NFL insider Albert Breer believes that no team will give up two first-rounders and a monster contract for Pickens, making it unlikely for him to leave the Cowboys.
The Cowboys may not prioritize a wide receiver early in the draft, but Cooper is a realistic option, fitting right into the No 20 range, and bringing a well-rounded skill set that translates across multiple offensive schemes.
