First off I hope we go BPA to some degree or trade down, others might believe we go BPA according to need but sometimes you get a dud when u do that. There are certain positions if taken at 58 that some might consider to be a waste such as corner, running back, and maybe even guard but the value might be hard to pass on like maybe a guard lol. Some people might even believe taking a TE would be a waste but if the talent is there and he’s pure BPA, well u just gotta take it..
Ok here is the list of positions that I believe we could upgrade, some might be obvious, others maybe not so much. Positions that I believe we could use an upgrade at are down below.
Name the potential player that could Possibly fall to us at 58 for the following positions that you Wouldn’t be mad about us taking:
Safety-
1-Tech-
3-Tech-
DE-
WR-
OT-
G-
TE-
Other ______.
Trade Down.
Late 2nd (#58) is more likely than the 1st to have multiple players with similar grades.
Occasionally there will be a high rated player such as in 2009 when the Cowboys had pick #51 and passed on a player they had rated as a 1st round pick (LeSean McCoy was drafted at #53).
The McCoy example is an exception to the norm.
The years of Cowboys leaked draft boards and other years when their media guys (Broaddus and crew) revealed after the draft how the Cowboys had some players rated gave us some insight. They normally had multiple players with similar ratings available at their 2nd round pick.
I would not trade down. Maybe trade up. They have OK players at almost all positions but need more impact players regardless of position.
One true impact DLineman added would make a big difference.
I would take 1 impact DL over the combination of an OK TE and OK Safety.
