What is so great about a RT? And who says he is top 3 RT?
Adams is the #1 SS in the NFL. All Pro at the position of biggest need for us in the secondary which is currently our weakest link on defense.
Its a no brainer. Collins hasn't even made a pro bowl for heavens sake. He has had ONE good year for the Cowboys. Overall where he was rated as a first round pick, he has actually disappointed.
This is real close, and I hear you, although probably moot.
Him plus high picks, I gotta turn it down.
As far as are we a better team with say, Williams at RT and Adams at S, maybe, and it's close, but I draw the line at the picks because they are maybes.
La'el isnt a maybe, and already losing an OL starter pushes me to say no.
Center, LT, RT. Actually never heard anyone say that RT had positional value.
Yeah like horrible coaching. Long developing passing routes. An inconsistent defense. Little to no special teams help. A team that quit on their coach etcSure. When you attempt to ignore everything else. Good job.

Exactly.
But yeah, blame La'el Collins for 8-8...
You don't know football apparently... Dak's success, like any other QB, is contingent upon having a solid to good o-line taking away an important piece won't benefit this team.
You are missing the entire point of "fit the scheme to the players".Acquisition via draft or trade is an acquisition.
If Cowboys traded for Adams, Nolan better know how to make this exceptional playmaker "fit".

And Collins contract is a stealNo way i'm trading prob my best OT and a draft pick for a SS. And Adams wants to be paid big $$$ too.
I agree Dak's success and that of the offense is predicated on an Oline.
But the TEAM overall success needs a great defense more than anything. Replacing a good RT like Collins is not going to be a big deal. If replacing him cant be done this year then it can easily be done in the offseason.
There are some candidates that are going to need to fit in right away,,The Cowboys likely don't place as much value on Adams in the new defensive scheme. Adams is an SS that thrives up around the line. The new scheme is a base 2-deep Safety alignment.
The Mike Nolan scheme tends to use Safeties with more CB type traits and less LB type traits. Both Safeties tend to be similar. It's basically 2 Free Safety types.
Adams would still be great in the new scheme but the "need" for Adams is much lower in this scheme than in the previous Cowboys defensive scheme.
It's a final piece trade, albeit one who instantly becomes the leader of the defense.This is the danger of doing things on paper.
On paper, it’s just plug n’play “we’ll just move that guy here, that guy will fill-in there...”
I don’t like the idea of altering three positions to improve one (safety). We are all assuming Williams would just slide out to tackle and be fine; McGovern will take over at OG; and Biadasz take over at center or Looney.
Folks should be reminded that when we drafted Williams in the second round we all assumed we got our next Zach Martin, but it turns out he’s nothing of the sort. We’re all now assuming McGovern is plug n’play but he’s never taken an NFL snap (same as Biedasz). Frankly, Looney is the only “proven” guy in this scenario.
I want Adams on this roster but trading Collins isn’t the move I’d make to get him.
Which people are those?Some of you guys make me glad Jerry is the Cowboys GM instead of you. You're a used car salesman's dream.
