By the way, it would be soooooooo Jerry Jones to trade up for Pitts. Blow a bunch of picks in this draft and next year that could be used to fix a big problem, defense, to move up to take Jerry's latest shiny toy fascination.
Common sense.The only team that will take Pitts at 4 is ATL. The only team trading up to 4 is taking a QB, not a TE. Fields, Lance or Jones, 2 of those 3 is still on the board at 4 and no team is trading up to 4 for a TE, including the Cowboys.
I think your memory is very different from mine. Tyron was almost everyone's expectation at that pick. Zeke was almost everyone's expectation at that pick: many people were advocating for Ramsey, but it was clearly going to be one of those two.If you want to say the last few years that's fine but if I'm going based on the past 10 years? Sort of the end of Romo's era and into the Dak era? I expect the unexpected with them.
And we can sit here and say they are predictable but I'm here every draft and I recall no one expecting them to take Tyron Smith. No one expected them to trade down and draft Fredericks in the 1st round. Many thought Johnny Football before even Zack Martin. In 2016, I Think most expected Jaylon Ramsey before talking themselves into Zeke.
If by "know what they will do," you mean "who they will pick," no, of course not. But I'd lay pretty good odds that they'll sit at 10 and take a top player on their board. That's what they've done for the last seven drafts. Might they trade out of their pick? Sure. But that's what would be unpredictable, not something equivalent to taking Tyron or Zeke or Lamb last year.To me the Ravens are predictable. I know going into this draft they are going to draft some linebackers and offensive linemen. I know what to expect from the Steelers. Cowboys don't fit that mold. No one with a straight face can sit here and say they know what they will do with that 1st pick.
I don't know that the media always wins.This is why the media always wins. People are at the mercy of their own emotions, ripe for swaying this way or that way.
I love Pitts as much as anyone, but we're not trading up to #4 to get him. It would require giving up our first rounder next year which is out of the question for a position that's not QB.
Dallas needs to sit at #10 and trade down into the teens if the board isn't shaking up right.
LOL. This is just nonsense.
Dallas has NOT called ATL about pick 4. End of story.
This is utterly stupid.
Pick 4 value: 10 +44 plus one of the R3 plus next year's R1.
Dallas isn't even in the conversation.
In what way would that be "soooo Jerry?" When's the last time he's made a big trade up? When's the last time he traded up to ignore a perceived problem area?By the way, it would be soooooooo Jerry Jones to trade up for Pitts. Blow a bunch of picks in this draft and next year that could be used to fix a big problem, defense, to move up to take Jerry's latest shiny toy fascination.
I'd say most of us fans are predictable and this organization rarely makes moves the fans would do. Their recent history has been far more unpredictable than predictable at least to me. To me it was predictable this team freed up cap space by signing Dak to a long term deal that they would use that money to bring in to fill in holes in free agency. Maybe I should've expected them to bring in the Falcons safeties to improve that unit but I sure as hell didn't expect it.
As of right now I have NO idea where they will go in the draft. I'd say going with Surtain would be predictable. But I have no faith they'd even go defense right now.
They would have to. Thats a QB spot. Look at the San Fran trade.I’m down as long as you don’t give up another 1.
You really think the Cowboys would draft a QB after committing to Dak?I'd rather trade to #2 to get Wilson.
Well..
The smart move is not Surtain if Pitts or Slater is available.
Drafting defense just to draft defense is silly.. That’s what free agency is for.. The draft is for acquiring the best talent available.
In round 1 you want an impact guy. Surtain I just can’t see being a huge impact player. He’s just be a nice addition.
BTW.......just curious, what would it cost?????? ( moving from 10 to 4 )
