Video: Broaddus' Latest On The Cowboys' Draft Plans | GBag Nation

It is getting real now. Less than a week to the actual pick.

We are on Real World Time now.

Were people stop being polite, and start getting real

I would not move up.
Let the board come to you.
DEN added a couple CB and I don't see massive risk at 10 in letting a guy fall to me.

If I have to take Slater and replenish my OL I am not going to cry over that.
Can always pay the freight for Richard Sherman if that happens.

That's what I was thinking. If they somehow miss out on the cornerback position, they can shuffle some money around to sign Sherman for a year or two to buy them time to get the cornerback next year.

I dont like him. He acts like a draft expert yet he's no different than you and I.

He's quite opinionated and outspoken, that's for sure.

 

[Stash]

Moving up to 7 from 10 would cost us either

10 and 74: we are over chart value by 15 points

10, 99, 115, 179: We are under chart value buy 14

 

[visionary]

I can do all of this and get better players without moving away from ten

show it

Dallas was ahead on Dak because they had him in the Senior Bowl.
He was higher on their board than most teams after a really good week in Mobile.
They saw him compete, win MVP of the game and got to know his character.

More picks means very little if they aren't into the talent of the draft. See 2009.
Teams go to camp with only so many spots to win. Usually 3-4. After that it's injuries opening positions or practice squad slots.
Taking 12 draftees is a good way to fill a practice squad and/or cut guys you haven't even fully evaluated yet.

There are about 250 players per year to make NFL rosters. Of those many never play meaningful football.
A more realistic number is about 150 impactful players per season. And those guys are routinely found in the first 4 rounds of the NFL draft.
You can certainly find guys later but you generally have to develop them, get lucky with health or select a position that has fallen due to depth or lack of value like kicker.

I'd generally be looking to maximize my top 150 picks yearly. After that I can rely on UDFA to fill out the dregs and then I can steal other guys practice squaders if I needed to.
In reality there is very little to gain with a lot of R6 and R7 level talents.

One correction - the Cowboys didn't have Prescott in the Senior Bowl. The Cowboys coached the North team, which had Wentz - Prescott was on the South team.

SN: Bryan Broaddus looks like John Wayne Gacy escaped from prison and become a former NFL scout turned media analyst

Lmao yeah he does

That's true I like the passion Cowboys fans have their team.

On the one hand this is just a few guys speculating on what the Cowboys might do. After trading up to get Morris Claiborne I am not so sure Dallas will make that mistake again.

On the other hand, I just think Jerry has been to subdued the last few years and based on some of his recent performances in the media I just get the feeling he is itching to do something really dumb in this draft. Trading up twice for Pitts would be one dumb mistake, but trading up to 7 for Surtain would be even dumber. To get to 4 Dallas would probably have to give up a 2nd and 3rd. That's 44 and 75. If they take Pitts at 4, they will not be able to address the defense until 99. At that point, all the worthy CBs will be gone.

If they want to give up day 3 picks, then fine, but 4 picks in the top 100 is a good place to be for a team with a lot of hoes on defense and in need of OL depth.

btw, the Giants GM, Dave Gettleman, claims the Giants have been trying to trade back. He did not reveal what he was offered for the 11th pick but I got the sense it was not fair value. Of course things could change by draft day, but this may mean that Dallas might find it hard to trade down as well. Also, any teams looking to trade up to 10 to get a QB, know the Cowboys will not take a QB so they can trade with the Giants if the Cowboys do not make a deal. The Cowboys may be stuck at 10 with so many teams willing to trade down. While I think the best move the Cowboys can make is to trade down and take someone like Barmore, they may not have that option.

Yes, they have a lot of “hoes” on defense...lol!

I bet that's the plan. If we trade down too far and don't get a top CB, or the draft falls a certain way and we take a Sewell or Pitts, grab Sherman for a one year deal.

Frankly, that might even be better, depending on who we get

I just did another mock this morning where I got Pitts instead of Surtain and the talent never lined up with cornerback afterwards. Right after that, I just considered it the ‘sign Sherman draft’.
