Default Who are the four?

I just saw an interesting Tweet from Jeff Sullivan, who is writing a behind the scenes article on the Cowboys draft. He stated there are four players the Cowboys would consider moving up for in the draft. If the price is too high to move up and if none are there at 14, they will look to trade down.

He could not reveal the four names. When one person guessed Cox, Barron, DeCastro and Brockers, he replied that the guy was batting .500 with his guess.

So who are the four? My guess would be Cox, Richardson, Clairborne, or Richardson.

"Can we get Drew Bledsoe back out here just for a week, so you guys can fall back in love with Tony? Let's sign Drew Bledsoe back for a week. Because sometimes when you have a pretty girl for so long, you forget how pretty she is. But when you put an ugly girl next to her, 'Oh, no, I'm really doing well.' And maybe we need to bring Drew back, so we can back to 'Oh, no, we're really doing well.'"

if the boys trade up it would be only a spot or two; no more. I hope they do not. Frankly there is no one I see worth trading up for that if they fell that far would be worth getting. If one of the top 3-4 players after the two QBs fall it is because something was found out about them that is bad.

I would be ok with 3 of those 4, that is of course depending what the price is. 2 of them (Claiborne, Cox) I could swallow the higher price. One of them (Barron) really would borderline and I don't agree trading up for any RB so Richardson I cant justify the cost at all.

Richardson's the only one worth trading up for, those other guys are good but not elite.

that's a really good point about barron. moving up that far for barron is hard to justify period, no?

really? even for richardson at 8? we might lose a late pick but we'd essentially be trading felix jones for trent richardson wouldn't we?

No one in their right mind would trade up for Poe
