Cowboys, Cardinals in Draft Trade Talks for QB Ty Simpson

0:00On April 3rd, Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Shottenheimer just dropped some draft talk at the NFL owners meetings. He says the team has plenty of capital to trade up or down, aiming for the best player available. But their defense still needs some high upside picks to shake things up. Draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah shared a hot nugget on X about the Arizona Cardinals eyeing Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson. With the Cowboys sitting at pick 20, Arizona might want to jump in front of the Pittsburgh Steelers to snack him. Pick 20 is a sweet spot for teams looking to move up without overpaying. The Cardinals just cut Kyler Murray, their old franchise guy, so grabbing a young signal caller on a rookie deal makes total sense. It buys time for their GM, Monty Austin Fort, who's filling the heat as the last holdover from the previous regime. Meanwhile, the Rams could eye a similar move at pick 13, but they might just wait it out. Jeremiah floats a trade scenario mirroring the Ravens deal for Lamar Jackson back in 2018.

1:01Arizona would send their second round pick at 34, third rounder at 65, and a 2027 second to Dallas for pick 20. A fifth rounder at 152, it's a quarterback premium, but fair value given the climb. Cowboys brass like Jerry and Stephen Jones stay flexible, adding bites at the apple without getting fleeced. If Simpson pans out, Arizona forgets the cost, quick keeps the draft buzz rolling into next month. That wraps NFL news today, brought to you with AI. I'm Corey, with the story.
