One first-round pick and more: G Tyler Booker, WR CeeDee Lamb, QB Dak Prescott, G Tyler Smith, DT Quinnen Williams. The Cowboys just sent this sort of haul to acquire Williams, and between Booker and Smith, they have the NFL’s best 1-2 punch at guard. Lamb’s contract, which pays the 2020 first-round pick like one of the highest-paid wideouts in the game, might begin to look worrisome if he’s unable to reach the heights we saw in 2023 again sometime soon.
Prescott’s value would be a fascinating discussion in its own right if the Cowboys star ever chose to waive his no-trade clause. His four-year, $240 million extension is the most player-friendly contract in the league, and it’s a product of owner Jerry Jones mishandling Prescott’s initial run toward free agency in 2019 and 2020. I’m not sure other teams see Prescott as that caliber of quarterback, although his consistency on the field would appeal to franchises that haven’t been able to find a steady hand under center.
