There are a lot of questions about what direction the Dallas Cowboys could go in the first round of the NFL Draft, and Jerry Jones added to the intrigue.

After saying the team wasn't done with some trades and that a few could be in the works, many are wondering what the Cowboys owner and general manager could have in mind.

While Stephen Jones suggested a trade back could be in mind, draft expert Todd McShay once again brought up the possibility that Dallas could make a splash for Heisman winner Travis Hunter.

(Disclaimer: I don’t think this will happen)

But…could you imagine we live in a world where 48hrs from now, the #Cowboys trade up to No. 2 and select Travis Hunter?

*Again* I am 99% sure it won’t happen—but Jerry Jones is the ultimate 1% wild card.

Hunter would fill multiple needs.

Not only would he bring a deep threat to the Dallas offense, but he could provide a lockdown corner to a secondary that is in desperate need of depth. Killing two birds with one stone is something that could intrigue Jerry.
