3. Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens are another potential trade partner to fulfill the goal of the Cowboys getting back into the fourth round.

Baltimore could look to be aggressive in adding talented youngsters after Jim Harbaugh's team flamed out in the playoffs. Assuming there's someone the Ravens really love and don't want to let get away toward the end of their third, they could come calling to move up from No. 93.

Here, the Cowboys receive No. 93 (128 points) and No. 113 (68 points) from Baltimore for No. 87 (155 points) and No. 174 (22 points).

If the Ravens don't like giving up 196 points in value for a return of 177, they could swap 113 for 130 (42 points), which is a later compensatory pick but still in the fourth round. Either way, Dallas is picking up fourth-round compensation and only parting with a very late fifth-rounder to do so.

This move could be very beneficial in regards to filling the hole the Cowboys have at running back. There's a glut of RB prospects projected for the late third/fourth like Wisconsin's Braelon Allen, Michigan's Blake Corum and Oregon's Bucky Irving, all of whom could handle huge workloads from the jump.

This fact alone makes landing 93 and 113/130 an attractive proposition considering this squad's RB need.
