Somewhere there's a silver lining to the Dallas Cowboys decision to trade for Trey Lance, but it's getting more and more difficult to envision what that may be. There is a real possibility the Cowboys spent a 2024 fourth-round draft pick on a player who could be nothing more than a two-year rental who never plays a meaningful snap for them.
If that's not a tough pill to swallow on its own, then let us rub a little more salt in the wound. Had the Cowboys not traded for Trey Lance, there is a very real possibility they would've drafted Tony Pollard's replacement either in the third round with the 87th overall pick or in the fourth round with the 124th.
