TRADED Schefter: Cowboys trade for Logan Wilson (7th round pick)

[JeffInDC]

If Tvondre Sweat is really available, Id rather drop that 4th on him

Unfortunately, I’m thinking they may want higher than a 4th

I like this move. I think it helps us in the future. Looks like we are only giving up a 7th round pick and he is signed for 2 years after this year. He has 2 years at $13 million total left on his contract so he will basically cost $6.5 million a year. Does this really help this year? No, because we still have too many holes and we have lost too many games. This is a start to filling holes next year. It’s not like we were going to hit with a 7th round pick.

This is a good move.

Form comparison sake, Kenneth Murray is making 7.4 million this year. Talk about a waste of money.

if its for a 7th and we have him 2 more years I agree with you. This was a good move for fixing issues for the future and can help stop the bleeding this year.

Id give more. Maybe a pick swap equivalent to a 3rd. Young, productive fits what we need and how we align our DT's. We dont play an A gap. Sweat would seem a perfect A gap player, but he plays a vast majority of his snaps in a B gap. So he fits what we need from that LDT spot

For a 7th rounder, this is a very good low cost gamble. There is a chance he becomes our future starter at the position. If it doesn't work out, costs the team very little. Really like the deal. These are the types they need to do more of!

 

[CowboysDrew]

Glorious, the run starts now.

 

[kskboys]

A 4th round rookie took his spot. If we gave up anything more than a 6th and Mazi this is outright ridiculous

If we got rid of Mazi it's a great trade!!!

 

[Cowboyny]

James is going to be moved over. He's not a true MLB. They knew it. Now he will be better next to Wilson.

Yes, he is more of a true will linebacker and a real poor fit as a mike. With Overshown being brought back slowly, don't think Wilson being here will affect James development.

 

[Chuck 54]

Stop whining.
Facts:

• Cowboys suck, especially the defense
• Wilson is a solid, young MLB and is an immediate starter who will likely be our MLB for a few years
• We picked him up for a late round pick
• We still need more help up front on the DL
• Clowney and EZE played really well yesterday, but Clowney is a 1 year guy, so we still need a DE

 

[Cowboyny]

Well at least we didn't overpay.

No more trades on the buying side please.

These are the type of trades we should be doing, low cost, high reward type of trades. Wilson is a legitimate Mike LB something they don't currently have with Murray playing the will.

In my best Clark Griswold voice "Thats it that's the big one!"

 

[Cowboyny]

James is a 5th round pick that is 21 years old. I would rather see him continue to develop then trade draft capital for Wilson. In two seasons James will be better then Wilson.

James is a will linebacker, Wilson is a true Mike backer. You would think James/Overshown will be handling that spot now and take Murray off the field. Wilson is a green dot player.

 

[Creeper]

He lost a step and younger guy was outplaying him from what I read

Demetrius Knight, a guy I was hoping the Cowboys would draft.

 

[Cmac]

Can he tackle? The current LB group cant

Can he clog a Tractor Trailor hole?

 

[Miller]

So listening to Werder…was this even the trade Jerry pre-announced or did that get tabled for this ?

 

[nhcowboyfan]

Please don't trade our high picks. Trade mazi for a pick. Or a project player

Maybe we can get that 7th back for Mazi.

 

[CyberB0b]

he was benched so we don’t know

He should fit right in. The rest of this defense can't start on other NFL teams.

 

[MC88]

For a 7th rounder, this seems worth it. It’s almost impossible for him not to be better than Murray and Sanborn.

The biggest problem is Eberflus. He has to go. Immediately

Low cost in draft capital, but if he can't play he does make pretty good money. Murray money. Need to be right on these type of decisions. You know the Cowboys are going to cry poor this offseason too.

All in all, I have no idea if he can play. With this DT and CB combo, I don't think it matters much at LB. Sure he could improve things but it would be minimal imo.

The best way to help out the 31st ranked defense? Lets go get a rotational player from the 32nd ranked defense. Nice

LOL
