That's not what trading down from 10 to 12 was all about.

It was about working the draft the way your supposed to - still getting the player you want, and getting extra draft capital.
Man I can't believe they aren't getting applauded more for it....ltierally everyone in this draft before it said if somehow Surtain was gone we should trade down and get Horn.....if not Horn someone else...that was before the draft fell the way it did but its what we all wanted but didn't think they'd do.

I guess the Bears and Giants trade is clouding over what that deal was but the Cowboys got great value for trading back just a few spots.

They definitely made the right move. After the corners i yelled at the tv for them to trade back. I was a little thrown off it was with philly and only netted a 3rd. But its aiight. I was hoping the pats wanted to move up for fields.

I got nervous based on how many playmakers on defense were left...Parsons was the only guy there and by that point he was who I wanted to target so a trade back kind of scared me there but they traded back just enough to net a 3rd rounder. Hate it was with Philly but I think I'd rather Philly get Devonta than Giants.

So we would have had to pay Mac Jones about 10 million overall if we took him at 12.

What were you guys saying about cap management?
Its over if you dont like it just shut ur mouth. Dak is the QB. Go be an indy fan to drool over that bum wentz

Rumor is the Bears offered us the same deal the Giants took. Basically we passed on their 1st this year and next year along with their 3rd this year.

Wonder why we passed it up? But it explains how we knew Parsons would be there at #12 cause we figured Giants would take the Bears deal.

This is the thread where we're supposed to be impressed how they saved 3 million while paying Prescott 40 million over the next 4 years.

These guys sure can stretch a dollar.
Fair point but it’s probably two separate issues. While we’re at it we could throw in all of the bad deals we’ve made in comparison. Why just limit it to this one?

Yep but curious why we didn’t accept the Bears offer? We could have picked up their 1st next year as well. And why the Giants took it .
