Insiders have indicated that the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans are believed to be open to moving back from the top five, potentially creating an opportunity for Dallas to climb the board.
A recent update noted that Dallas has not been aggressively active on trades yet but remains open-minded about a potential move, keeping the Cowboys under close watch from around the league.
The Cowboys hold two first-round picks (No. 12 and No. 20), giving them substantial capital to pursue a top-five jump if a favorable trade partner emerges.
Defensive needs drive the consideration, with linebacker identified as the biggest hole, along with edge and secondary upgrades; landing a top defender such as Sonny Styles could be a pivotal factor in a move up.
A plausible path would involve negotiating with the Cleveland Browns, who own Nos. 6 and 24, using Dallas’s two early picks to secure a higher spot in the first round.
Dallas also faces limited early-round draft capital due to a prior trade, but they still possess a third-round pick from the 49ers and five Day 3 selections to address defense, keeping the trade-up option on the table as the draft approaches.
