George Pickens has been playing lights out through the first six weeks of the season, proving he is a legitimate No. 1 for teams around the league. Pickens has hauled in 32 catches for 525 yards, the third most in the league, and is tied for most receiving touchdowns with six, a career high.

That has led to some discussion about whether the Cowboys should trade their breakout star, who is in a contract year. But what could the team get in return? InsideTheStar.com takes a look at what compensation Pickens could demand, with a first-round pick seeming possible.
