Jerry Jones Hints He Could Trade Up

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones just did an interview with the NFL Netwrork, and stopped by to talk to local reporters afterward, hinting that the way the draft is following, the Cowboys could trade up.

Jones wouldn't say who it is the Cowboys are targetting, but said the number of picks the Cowboys have might make it appropriate to trade up just a little bit. We don't think it would be into the first round, but the Cowboys could conveivably get into the mid 30s if they wanted.

A lot of people don't expect the Cowboys to wait until No. 51 to pick because of Jones' history with trades and the fact they could use a player at several positions. It's not very likely a player at 51 could make much of an impact next season, except maybe on subpackages or special teams.

Jones said the wait has been "just awful."

Any thoughts on who the Cowboys could be interested in moving up to get?
