Clayton Just Said...

[Avery]

Cowboys possible trade partners with Bears.

Boys would send #22, a 2nd next year and another pick...

for... #14 and Anthony Thomas.

He says we'd move up for Shawn Andrews.

Hmmmm.....

[Chuck 54]

That would be an awesome trade for us.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Take Colombo but not Anthony Thomas!

[cowboyfan4life_mark]

I can't believe that the Cowboys think that they are better off with Thomas than someone in this draft. If this goes down, there is going to be a part B to this plan. JMO

[Erik_H]

But then again, I hate giving up picks.

A Thomas doesn't thrill be as a back, but I suppose he could improve with a change of scenery.

Also, we could re-coup that 2nd rounder (equal to this years 3rd) with Allen.

Nah, I don't like it. Andrews looks to be a lazy guy.

Of course, I'd have to think that Clayton's sources are not exactly "insiders" He's been completely wrong all off-season!

I'm flip-floppin alot today. I don't have much an an opinion, here. I think I'm worn out from all the pie-in -the -sky specualtion when no-one really knows anything!

15 minutes til the draft!

[InmanRoshi]

I actually wouldn't mind that trade. It wouldn't leave us with many picks next year, but hopefully we'll be more active in free agency and we wouldn't have as many holes. Andrews is a better pick for this team than Kevin Jones.

I don't think we'd have to move up that far to get Andrews. If we're going to 14, IMO it's to get an impact defensive lineman. Still can't see us moving up at all, though, but that isn't much of an asking price assuming the "other" pick isn't our second.

[chicago JK]

Please let this not be the first time John Clayton is right :)

Andrews has a chance to be very good
A-train= solid
Don't want to lose any future picks.

I don't know why people don't like Thomas. He put up good numbers and almost never fumbles. Sounds like a Parcells guy to me.

[Avery]

This scenario is not my first choice.

Andrews may go higher than most expect. You may have to reach for OT this year as the quality of past drafts is not there.

[GShock]

Ha ha ha ha no thanks.

We've already given up a 3rd rounder for Henson next year, and I believe a 6th for Coleman.

Anthony THomas who's so good they go get Thomas Jones?

Plus another pick?

No.

[maloy]

i dont have an opinion on that trade, if it happens then so be it.

[jcollins28]

A Train in Dallas? No way just draft Bell and be done with it.

We already gave up a 3rd next year and highly doubt Jones would do this trade. Can't give up entire 2005 draft.

Don

This trade would make me :sick:

[AJM1613]

I heard that too. Don't realy care.

[InmanRoshi]

The reason the Bears wanted Thomas Jones instead of Anthony Thomas is because Lovie Smith is installing the St. Louis Rams/Kansas City Chiefs offense, and they need a Faulk/Holmes type of receiving threat at RB, while Thomas is better suited for ballcontrol.

If a trade like this goes down, it tells me the Cowboys are not very fond of the RB's on the board after Steven Jackson. Most analysts have said its a weak year for OT's and RB's. Anthony Thomas might be better than everyone in this draft after Steven Jackson.

[jordan20]

Norm just said on theticket. Possible LA to Cleveland for a 3rd next year. Take the place for the 3rd for Henson

[Kevlee06]

It all depends on what that "other" pick would be.

[Nors]

My gut has Perry in 2

Tatum Bell, Julius Jones, Quincy Wilson

We trade down from 22

[cowboys4life]

why not just take perry instead of thomas and why would we move up to take andrews? errrrr :eek:

Hey, where in the heck is the vomit symbol on this forumn?

Man, these trades are downright horrible!

[InmanRoshi]

Because he's head and shoulders better than any tackle after him in this absolutely pitiful offensive line draft, and there's no way he falls past the Dolphins at 20 (at the latest).

[jumanji]

its not great, but its not bad. if we move up to 14, i would rather go after deangelo hall or chris gamble though. i'm not thrilled about andrews either but value wise...its not a bad trade.

atrain showed he can do pretty good with a good oline...don't know what happenned last year. if they do this, expect michael turner to be drafted int he 5th round.

[JohnsKey19]

It's an OK trade IMO. Thomas is a solid starting RB and fits Parcells' style. If we make this trade, Parcells obviously has watched plenty of game tape on Thomas and is comfortable he would do the job for us. I'm not too sure about taking Andrews though at 14. Good player and he would help but I'd rather get better value at 14. I'd prefer a guy like Wilfork or possibly one of those CBs at #14.

As long as we keep our 1st rounder next year, there's always a way to re-coup a 2nd or 3rd rounder by trading down.
