"Let's just let the cat out of the hat and say we know Maxx Crosby is having issues with the Raiders front office, but now that Tom Brady is involved, do you really think he is going to be traded? They are going to land Fernando Mendoza, the man who just won the Heisman and the National title by going 16-0. Can he help turn Las Vegas around. I don't know."
"With the playoffs nearly over and the NFL draft the next big event on the schedule outside of free agency, I thought it would be interesting to take a dive into what Dallas might do with the 20th pick in the draft. Look, you won't have the same thoughts as me and that is okay, you don't have to call me an idiot or that I have no idea what I am talking about, but people do it anyway."
"I say try and flip the 20th pick for additional picks so you can add more players to see if you can hit a home run with a late round pick if you can't add a day one starter. Now, I will note that Dallas has drafted very well from pick no. 20. In the 70s, they drafted Joe Dupree, Ebenezer Ekuban in the 90s and the latest was Marcus Spears in 2005."
With the playoffs nearly over and the NFL draft approaching, Dallas holds the 20th overall pick and faces decisions about its use. One option is to trade the 20th pick, possibly packaged with later selections, to acquire an immediate impact defensive player. Trade speculation includes Maxx Crosby and the potential arrival of college star Fernando Mendoza in Las Vegas after a 16-0 Heisman season. If the top target is unavailable at 20, trading for additional picks can increase chances of finding contributors later. Dallas has previously found solid players from the 20th pick such as Joe Dupree, Ebenezer Ekuban, and Marcus Spears.
