What happens when two wheeling and dealing NFL general managers at each end of Interstate 45? It means a trade between the two are likely to happen in the 2022 NFL draft.
According to Cynthia Frelund from NFL.com, who evaluated “win-win” trade scenarios for the draft, one scenario that would behoove both the Houston Texans and the Dallas Cowboys would be for the two Texas teams to swap first-rounders and a little more on day one of the draft.
The Texans would trade their No. 13 overall pick in Round 1 to the Cowboys for their No. 24 overall selection in Round 1 and their No. 56 overall pick in Round 2. Houston would move further back into the first day, and the Cowboys would move into the middle of the opening round.
