So basically the trade w/ Cincy is to get our late 6th round pick back...for Bené Benwikere. And Cincy instead of giving us our pick back to move up...work Jerry over for 15 spots. Jesus...our GM has no balls what so ever.:rolleyes:

And yet another huge goof by this team this year. They tried to be cute, and lose out again.
Not crazy about the draft (could be wrong) but where they trying to be cute that your sure of?

Yeah they mentioned this on the radio.

Messed up because Pollard would have been there for that second 4th.

Really Dallas? I guess they wanted Pollard that bad. Look, I'm as optimistic as they get, but man did they royally screw up the fourth round.

Pollard is probably critical to the season this year in terms of matchups and change of pace and all that. Any CB is likely just insurance for next year in covering for players leaving due to getting paid.

We needed that extra 6th round pick to cherry pick undrafted free agents instead of compete for them.

I have no problem saying I am not a fan of this draft. Makes so little sense.

I mean, I guess Hill fits a need, but so many red flags regarding character and effort (which is always a theme here).

The G is a good player, but do we really need another guard right now? We have Looney, Sua Filo and Redmond there already as backups. OT would have made much more sense.

Pollard seems like he could have been picked at least a round later. He does have some interesting skills but are we really gonna change the offense to the extent where he can be a solid contributor? Seems he will be fighting for time with Austin....and for that matter, why would you even sign Austin if you intended to pickup this kind of guy?

Now a trade down....and all you get is a 6th rounder for moving down double digit picks. Seems like a waste. Can't believe that we didn't see a S in the first rounds that would be an upgrade for us.

You can make these kinds of moves when you have a roster so talented.

Wait, I thought Dallas builds through the draft. Now we don't build in FA or the draft. We just say the roster is talented enough to take a year off of good drafting.

This is typical. It's the reason that JJ, Stephen, and Willy have never won anything!!!

There is 0 concern with Hills effort. His high motor is one of his best attributes.
