IRVING (105.3 The Fan) - Be Prepared.

The scenarios I mapped out on Wednesday morning on 105.3 The Fan:

Be Prepared for the Dallas Cowboys to have Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey on the top of their NFL Draft board.

Be Prepared for Dallas to select Ramsey at No. 4 overall.

Be Prepared for the shift in plans coming if San Diego takes Ramsey at No. 3. … In which case Dallas is just fine at No. 4 with Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott.

But also Be Prepared for a pair of first-round draft-day trade shake-ups.

Be Prepared for Miami (or someone else) to jump up to San Diego's No. 3 spot. The Dolphins could do it for Elliott. Someone else could do it for Ramsey. In either event, Dallas is left with a win/win — the bounty of being back enough to have the No. 4 pick in the first place.

And one more: Be Prepared for a late-round exploration by Dallas to re-enter the first round with a package that includes pick No. 34 and a target of a quarterback.

The Cowboys are prepared for all of this. You should Be Prepared, too.
