Here is another scenario to cover for Thursday "just in case".
The #6 pick is something to keep an eye on if Patrick Peterson or, perhaps, Marcel Dareus are on the board. Would the Cowboys sacrifice another 3rd Round pick to get up to #6? They recently have been throwing around their 3rd Round picks like they are breath mints, so we should not rule it out completely.
If Cleveland really wants a WR (which we believe they do) and Dallas cannot resist the urge to go get Peterson or Dareus, a trip down memory lane reminds us that Mike Holmgren and Jerry Jones have danced 3 times since 1999. And Cleveland would likely still get their guy at #9:
This small review of history certainly should remind us that they have each-others cell phone numbers. You may also notice the pattern that all 3 times the Cowboys need something and all 3 times Holmgren serves as their dealer. The Cowboys give up assets for something they have to own. A relatively easy to detect pattern.
I would advise NOT giving up a 3rd Rounder in a draft that is this rich in talent in that area, but the Cowboys seldom listen to me. This should be considered a legitimate possibility on Thursday night.

- Trade #1: Draft Day 1999:
The Dallas Cowboys traded the 22nd pick of the 1999 first round and a 1999 fifth round pick to the Seahawks for #20 Ebenezer Ekuban.
Trade #2: The Joey Galloway Deal:
The Dallas Cowboys, desperate to give Troy Aikman a big-time receiver, acquired unrestricted free agent Joey Galloway from Seattle on Saturday for the Cowboys' first-round picks this year and next.
Galloway set up the trade by signing a deal with the Seahawks on Saturday. Minutes later, Seattle traded him to the Cowboys, who had already come to terms with him on a 7-year, $42 million deal.
"It was difficult to negotiate when you have Troy Aikman calling every 20 minutes saying get it done, get it done," said Steinburg, who also represents Aikman.
Jones first started talking to Holmgren about Galloway last fall, and worked quickly to complete a deal when the NFL's free agency period began Friday.
And Trade #3: Draft Day - 2008:
Then, the Cowboys held the #28 pick. Rashard Mendenhall and Chris Johnson went at #23 and #24. Now, the Cowboys wanted Mike Jenkins, and felt that if they stayed at #28, someone (like San Diego) was going to grab the guy they wanted before the Cowboys could pick. So, they traded with Seattle to move up to #25 to get Jenkins. The price to move from #28 to #25 was a 5th round pick #163 (Owen Schmitt - FB, West Virginia), and 7th round pick #235 (Brandon Koutu - K, Georgia).
