Are Cowboys and Dolphins discussing draft day trades?

A Miami Dolphins source asked me today if I had heard anything about the Dallas Cowboys talking with the Miami Dolphins about a possible draft-day trade that would move the Cowboys up to the No. 12 spot in the NFL draft. The source said he had heard it from someone with inside information on the Dolphins.

The Cowboys rarely move up in the draft, but since the release of safety Ken Hamlin and offensive lineman Flozell Adams, this might be the year Jerry Jones considers a trip up north in the 2010 draft.

At pick 12, the possibilities of landing free safety Eric Berry or safety Earl Thomas over someone like Taylor Mays are much more realistic. Wide receiver Dez Bryant would likely be available at the No. 12 spot, too.

But could the Cowboys move up in the draft and still keep their current picks, including No. 27, where they could shore up the offensive line?

The Dolphins showed interest Marion Barber two years ago, when the Dolphins picked up nearly every single former Cowboys player. Bill Parcells loves the guy and so does the Dolphins head coach. Barber may not be worth a No 12 pick for the Dolphins, so I’ve also heard they have interest in Patrick Crayton. Now, all of these scenarios are plausible, because if Crayton is gone, the Cowboys very well may be going after Dez Bryant.

I don't want Barber or Crayton. It they are indeed talking trade, it better be for a swap of 1st round picks, Dallas 2nd and 3rd round pick since the Cowboys don't have a 5th.

If they want our 12 pick.. They better be ready to send us Miles Austin.

It seems like every year since the Trifecta has been in town, we get linked to a 1st round trade with the Cowboys. Every year it never happens. I chalk this up to them grasping at straws for any kind of news story, as that deal would suck big time for us.

...and the 27th pick.

I'd love it. Would kill two birds with one stone as you'd still be able to grab a very good player (and probable immediate starter) at 27 and have Austin provide a nice target for Henne.

But I doubt anything happens.

Miles Austin is not going anywhere....what a joke.

The Cowboys would be stupid to trade picks. In fact, this draft is deep at many positions. Better to hold your picks.

What he said.

No way would they give Austin AND the 27th pick. Austin is worth our 12. Nothing more.

marion the barbarian and crayton for the 12th overall pick? no thanks
