THE TAKE
I like Cowboys trading a 6th this draft and 2nd next for Joey Porter Jr. who immediately becomes their No. 1 corner. PFF ranked him 36th of 114 CBs last yr - not great - but did project him at 26 as an All-Pro breakout candidate this yr. Worth the plunge. Win now. We got better.

(1) Cowboys acquire Joey Porter Jr. via trade using approximately those draft assets, AND (2) Porter Jr. becomes the Cowboys' primary/No. 1 cornerback, AND (3) he demonstrates All-Pro level performance this season.
FALSE IF
trade doesn't happen, Porter Jr. isn't the #1 CB, or he underperforms All-Pro projection.
