The Dallas Cowboys made two trades during the 2018 NFL Draft last month that could have a profound influence on this team for the upcoming season.
First, the Cowboys traded a sixth round selection to the Los Angeles Rams for wide receiver Tavon Austin. The former eighth overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, Austin was first described as a “web back” in this Dallas offense by executive vice president Stephen Jones. But it now appears the 28-year old playmaker will be used all over the field, primarily as a wide receiver.
Austin could be a difference-maker for this Cowboys team as a spark plug, igniting an offense that has been missing similar past playmakers like Lance Dunbar and Lucky Whitehead.
