3. Elijah Moore, WR, New York Jets
Hypothetical trade package: Cowboys receive Elijah Moore; Jets receive a 3rd-round pick and 5th-round pick
Elijah Moore’s unhappiness with the Jets‘ offense, his usage, and other gripes have been well-documented by the New York media. The twitchy slot receiver has been very outward with his dismay.

On the year, he has just 16 receptions for 203 yards after a 2021 season that saw him have a strong rookie output of 77 receptions and five trips to the end zone. His unique skillset is different than that of Lamb and Gallup and would have provided the Cowboys with a true slot receiver presence.
