The Dallas Cowboys just pulled off the trade of the season when they shipped star pass rusher Micah Parsons to Green Bay amid contract turmoil.

Parsons is entering the final year of his rookie deal – a team option year – and wasn’t happy with the $21.324 million he would earn under that deal. As he and the Cowboys failed to come to terms on an extension, Dallas shipped him to the Packers, who then signed him to a $188 million extension. Dallas got two first-round picks and three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark in return.

But it leaves a big hole in the pass rush for the Cowboys, and that’s something they’ll have to address down the road. It could be with one of those picks in the draft, or it could be that owner and general manager Jerry Jones uses one of those picks in a trade to bring a veteran on board.

Either way, Pro Football Network believes Jones & Co. will use one of those picks next April in Pittsburgh to draft a pass rusher. Using its Pro Football Network Mock Draft Simulator, PFN thinks Dallas will have the No. 15 pick.

15) Dallas Cowboys: T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson

“After trading away superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons due to contract disagreements, it’d be malpractice for the Dallas Cowboys not to take a long, hard look at pass-rushing prospects in this draft. With several players rising on the draft boards for presumed big years, T.J. Parker would be a nice get for owner, general manager, and team president Jerry Jones. Parker may not have the ceiling of other defensive linemen in this class, but he’s almost assured to be good from day one. He’s a refined prospect with an array of counters and is large and strong enough (6’3″, 265 pounds) to hold his own. If replacing Parsons’ massive amount of production isn’t figured out via trade during the season, adding Parker to the mix would be a big win.”
