Raiders Trade Amari Cooper To Cowboys For 1st Round Pick
ALAMEDA (CBS Sports) - The Dallas Cowboys badly need wide receiver help for Dak Prescott and they are not sitting on their laurels at the trade deadline, going up top by acquiring Amari Cooper from the Raiders, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora confirmed.
The Raiders had to make this trade. Theyre going thru a full rebuild. Likely top 15 pick for Cooper. Gives them 3 1st rounders in 2019 already and plenty of more picks coming through other trades

Heard from several personnel guys today who were shocked the Raiders turned down a high-2nd rounder for Cooper recently. Didnt think they would do better than that

... Gruden did
Oakland is in the middle of a disaster season and has made no bones about putting everyone on the trade block. According to previous reports, Cooper was available and the Raiders were hoping to get a first-round pick in return.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Raiders actually GOT the first-round pick back, as Dallas was apparently willing to give up their first rounder in exchange for Cooper.
