Stephen: I don't see us moving up in the draft but we could move down

[plymkr]

Great!! I want extra picks

 

[baltcowboy]

Remember this is the guy that said the Cowboys have the secret sauce. The owner and his son’s ego is out of control.

Last year, Dallas traded down in the 1st round

24th and a 2025 7th
for
29th and 73rd picks

So they traded the 24th pick for Tyler Guyton and Cooper Bebee

Potential trade partners for a short drop:

Arizona at No. 16? With Campbell and Membou likely off the board, the Cardinals may want to make sure they get Booker. Of course, they could also want a receiver if McMillan is there or one of the top edge rushers.

Indianapolis at No. 14? The Colts also need OL and would likely want one of the top two TEs. They could stand pat and see who falls to them, but might get jumpy.

Atlanta at No. 15? The Falcons badly need a pressure player and may feel they can't wait to see if one of the top ones makes it to them.

Seattle at No. 18? Another team with a need at OL.

Nothing like giving away your game plan.

The more that know it, the more that will try to outbid each other.

 

[The Ominous]

Can we just please for once just be quiet as an organization. Just please ****.

 

[Ranching]

At least he's putting out feelers.

That's Jerry's job

You might want to see how Mingo turns out.

We have. He’s in his 4th season. Stop trying to justify wasted draft picks on players because Jerry is bored.

Lance one year only to let him walk, Mingo who would probably go undrafted if you look at his NFL tape.

Just stop it man. It’s ok to admit this FO sucks.

 

[Miller]

Listen the trade down thing to gather picks is always a wish and a great dream! But a majority of teams want the same and don’t want to waste to move up. It takes two. This subject is beaten yearly and it’s rare to get the right value

 

[quickccc]

When was the last time the Cowboys have moved UP in the first round to snag a coveted player ...?

Freakin' CB Mo Claiborne ... NFL Bust ! ..

When it comes to Jerry and Stephen Jones, If there are words coming out of their mouths, just assume it's B.S.

 

[quickccc]

This is probably the most honest thing Stephen has ever said...

It's Cap Boy Stephen,.. i believe he influences the Cowboys draft that way ... He believes in quantity over quality.

Unless a blue chipper (ala CeeDee Lamb) just so happens to slide and fall into our laps in 1st round, Stephen is not gonna call for moving up to get
a coveted player ... he's gonna twittle his thumbs and wait it out for a Parsons,or Lamb...

Thank Goodness we really got some very lucky breaks with those two cornerstones ..

You don't know **** about Mingo. You get to watch him for 2 more years. You stop it.

 

[thunderpimp91]

If they go WR early Mingo could be fighting for his job.

Rookie/Lamb/Tolbert/Mingo/Turpin/campbell

6 is typically the most a team will keep and then you have Brooks/Flournoy/Cropper all fighting for jobs too.

Possible they only keep 5 too. Id assume lamb/rookie/tolbert/Turpin are all safe.

 

[Pass2Run]

You don't know **** about Mingo. You get to watch him for 2 more years. You stop it.

You have to forgive the one-trick ponies.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Just take it for what it is. Just some straight up talk. And good stuff to hear.

Its the same BS every year and no other team in the league is doing pressers about its draft plans or preferences. If we aren't trading up and would apparently prefer to trade back, why do we need to telegraph that to the rest of the league?

SJ and Jerry just like microphones and hearing themselves talk.

Do you check every teams press conferences or read local sports or watch local sports. To know what they or do not say?

This is not a big deal but yet fans feel the need to just jumpall over it as if their lunch money was stolen. Actually it is kind of funny to read the meltdowns.

I would hope there would be some smoke and mirrors. However, this draft has very level talent early in this draft to the early 20s so I don't think there's a lot of benefit coming up to pick higher this year vs staying pat or trading down.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

As mentioned earlier for Steven to say this lead me to believe he already have a couple of teams or possibilities in his pocket.

He was drafted in 2023 lol…..

We make some dumb moves yes but trading for Lance wasn’t one.

I think he’s saying this because he doesn’t have any possibilities in his pocket.
