Our Mike Fisher broke that story right there ... and it's important to note: While the Cardinals have denied any willingness to swap out Kirk via ESPN ...

The #Cardinals have not been approached by any teams seeking to trade for WR Christian Kirk and Arizona is not planning to move him, per a team source.

That denial - and Mr. Werder's surely-accurate report - does nothing to squash Dallas' willingness to investigate, which is the point of the original scoop - and of our analysis.

In short: We don't know what the Cardinals' or Niners' response will be if Dallas calls to make an offer. We only are reporting the thoughts from inside The Star ... valuable enough, we think.

Anyway ... After that, the guys get into their dueling mock NFL Drafts. Landon and John will partake in three separate four-round mock drafts.

In the first mock draft, the guys will work through a scenario where the Cowboys select a cornerback in the first round, where the guys find one of John’s favorite pass-rusher in the second round to go with a versatile safety in the third.

In the second mock draft, the guys will work through a scenario where the Cowboys select LSU’s K’Lavon Chaisson at pick No. 17 in the first round. In that scenario, the guys looks at the likelihood that a cornerback of value drops to 81 while also looking at the potential options in the third and fourth rounds.

And in the final mock draft, Landon and John run through a scenario where the Cowboys trade back in the first round, where they are able to accumulate talent but also notice where there may be a steep drop off in talent in the third round.

To finish the show, the guys discuss rank and discuss which of the scenarios they think set the Cowboys up most to have success.

The “Best Coast Boys” podcast will return at a future date to discuss the latest news and noted surrounding the Cowboys’ 2020 draft class. But right now? Join us!
