Cowboys Draft Rumors: Dallas Unlikely To Trade Up In First Round

The Dallas Cowboys are thought to be targeting a pass rusher with the No. 28 overall pick, and in a strong class at the position, they figure to have plenty of options.

As such, they don't plan to trade up in the opening round, according to vice president Stephen Jones.

"I do think there's enough depth at all these positions that I don't think we necessarily have to push the move up button," Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. "At the same time, I'd never rule anything out. If we think there's a right end that we really didn't think would ever be there or a secondary, a corner, that we never thought would make it down to even that range then obviously you've got to start that discussion in your draft room, in terms of, is it worth it now to start to give up picks?

"I think this year it's tougher than ever because I do think there's great depth in this draft at positions of need for us. To give up one of those guys for a player, to give up two for one, is a tough deal for us. I would never rule it out, but at the same time, I don't necessarily say it's likely, especially with our first round pick."

Michigan's Taco Charlton, Tennessee's Derek Barnett and Missouri's Charles Harris are their top targets at this point, but Houston defensive end/outside linebacker Tyus Bowser is also in the mix if those three are off the board.
