Dallas Cowboys analyst Bryan Broaddus suggests trading receiver George Pickens and a first-round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders for defensive end Maxx Crosby. Pickens had a strong debut season with 93 receptions, 1,429 yards, and nine touchdowns. The Cowboys struggled defensively in the previous season, finishing last in overall rankings and allowing 30.1 points per game. Broaddus believes adding Crosby would significantly bolster the Cowboys' defense, which has seen a major overhaul this offseason. Despite the potential benefits for Dallas, trading Pickens could harm the team's offensive capabilities as he formed a potent duo with CeeDee Lamb.
