Calling it now, our first round pick is...

Why not?

A) there isn't any player in this draft worth trading up for.
B) the Cowboys aren't one player away.
C) the Cowboys need more picks not less.

I'm not a fan of Golden at 12 either....but I will say, he always stood out to me during Texas games (and I'm not a Longhorn or Longhorn fan)

Oh, he is for real and very fast and anytime he and Lamb would be on the field, defenses will end up paying the full price.

Cold hard facts

I wouldn't be surprised if they take Golden. I do see the value he would bring to this offense/team. Although, I would hope they would do all they could to try to make a small move back first. I think 12 is a little too rich for him. But I doubt they will get a trade partner to pull that off.

And yet, so many fans on here think it's a given that we will trade back because some team will want someone and be willing to give up high draft picks to come get him.

Bryan B. thinks that they would take Tet McMillan if available, if not Mykel Williams.

BB is as bad as Mel Kiper when it comes to this stuff.

that is accurate,those 2 and Shemar Stewart have been interviewed by our staff multiple times.

None of the three are bad choices really, they're just not my ideal scenario for us.

Lol, like the Joe Milton trade.

 

[Teague31]

If we stay at 12 I think it comes down to T Mac, Stewart and Williams.

 

[Beaker42]

Id grit my teeth and hope his speed shows up more in the NFL playing opposite Lamb than in college.

One of those picks for that you dont like but you have hope for

Probably a bigger qualm would be I dont think he can be a volume player. For a top 15 pick, I want a guy that can get 90+ receptions. I dont see Golden being that guy

Darth, a 1st yr #2 WR is going to be luck to get 60 receptions.

 

[Sydla]

One of the WRs.

They are looking to salvage Dak anyway they can. I suspect they will go WR/RB in the first two rounds.

 

[Sydla]

I don't get the hype around Golden and don't understand why so many are clamoring to use a Top 12 pick on him.

The 12th pick needs to be a dominant player. Is that Golden? What people are advocating for is using the 12th pick on a #2 WR. That just doesn't seem like the best use of resources there.

But as I said above, we are run by idiots who are desperate to salvage Dak. I have little doubt they think they need to give him more weapons which means I almost expect them to go WR, someone like Golden, at 12.

And yet, it happens every year. This one will be no different.

 

[Floatyworm]

Golden would be a decent pick but what we need to happen is a generational type player to fall to us. That really would move the needle and mask multiple holes.

Golden @ 1/12 would be a bigger reach than Taco, Mazi or Guyton. Sure seems to be our new MO these days. Go into the draft...reaching for need.

Yeah I hate drafting for need as well. Drafting a guy must be organic. Let the board fall to you. Every year we see multiple players that none of the experts thought would slide. This year will be no different. If we just play it cool and draft strictly based on the board, unless it's a QB, you take that player. We are guilty of getting too cute. The Mazi pick was case and point.

 

[ScotsCowboy]

Are you being sarcastic or do you really not like Golden at 12?

I like him but also think he’s one of the most overrated players in the class. We hear the term one year wonder for some players but he’s more like a half season wonder.

44? Sure. 12 seems waaaaaaay too rich for the production profile.

Exactly. I wouldn’t even have him if we traded to 20 (which I think we should, and take someone like Jahdae Barron).
