Trade Analysis

: Former Georgia linebacker Leonard Floyd was the second-best-rated linebacker on the Dallas Cowboys draft board according to

DallasCowboys.com football analyst Bryan Broaddus

. There were actually some rumors prior to the 2016 NFL Draft that the Cowboys would consider drafting Floyd with their fourth overall selection in the first round.

Instead, Dallas selected Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliot and Floyd fell to the Chicago Bears five picks later. But the 24-year old rookie proved himself to be an excellent pass rusher for the Bears in his first year.

But Chicago needs a quarterback. And Dallas has an extra one. But are the Bears desperate enough to trade their 2016 first round pick and a budding defensive star for a 36-year old Romo? Likely not. But throw in a third round pick, and maybe that changes things.

For Dallas, a player like Floyd instantly upgrades their defense. And we know the team was high on the player going into the draft. So it seems like a perfect marriage.
