After all that, still the 4 spot in the draft

Winning at home v. 49ers & Eagles; and if Giants QB is still struggling with the hamstring come the first Sunday in Year 2021..Risen Star is right on with his prediction.

SanFran will rush for over 250 yds Sunday and coast to an easy victory.
The Philly game will be a toss-up, so i could see Dallas somehow pulling out the W.
NYG will be fighting for a playoff berth while Dallas players will be going thru the motions simply trying to avoid injury.

Dallas at best finishes 5-11.

Would be trading like crazy out of this draft and taking stock in next years draft.
This years NFL was a waste and this years draft will be throwing darts.
Take a few essentials but come away with some future stock that can be better evaluated.

Add to it --this... Cowboy Zoners draftniks been parroting that after Sewell, this is a weak 1st round draft (and many of them spout Lawrence & Fields are college system QBs = busts)
Those the same people that said that about Deshaun Watson and we see how that turned out.

Like seriously im hearing this draft isn't blue chip loaded. There a couple solid qbs coming in which may be pick up in the top 10 and a OL but that's it. Heard the stock on the db's are going down. Who exactly are we suppose to be tanking for?

That’s just poor football. Cowboys did the same thing in the Falcons game...... when you are bad you are bad.
We are definitely bad
Some because of injuries, some talent and some a scheme the players may be just now learning on defense

I think LB is very good in this draft, OT is pretty deep and DB is pretty solid
Every draft isn’t like last years WR class but every draft has good players. You just have to find them and this year is a bit of a challenge. Not many games, some players opted out

I don't even know if they are just learning it...its a mystery to me how both Jaylon and LVE got bad at the same time.....I thought Nolan was the linebacker whisperer......I thought he'd fix them.

It is hard to wrap your head around the decline at LB
I hope it’s scheme, we can get a new scheme

I too am hearing that the premium players are scarce. However, you don't have to tank for any certain player. Teams will covet certain players and opportunities will come to you.

I see the logic in a small trade down at 4-5 but at 3 I just take Sewell and call it a day
As for trading down a few spots really depends on a 3rd QB getting graded out as a top 5 player
But if you move 3-4 spots and pick up even a second that’s great value
Just don’t go so far you miss top 2 CB because a trade down means you miss top LB
If you get one of the top 2 CB and add a good pick I could be sold on that idea
But I think it’s all about a 3rd QB getting really up there on a few teams draft boards

I totally get the idea of drafting Sewell and calling it a day. But I do believe the team when they say both OTs will be back next year, and guys like Tyron often play into their late 30's (he is 30 now). That's why I would rather have a shutdown CB and the extra #2 pick.

We're finishing 7-9.

Don't think so, but if they do, what would that say about McCarthy with this roster? And about Dalton? Hey, we were 8-8 last year with Garrett and Dak and a healthy team.

Thank you Philly and LAC.

Philly winning and getting a spark with the new QB was the biggest win of the day. I was worried that we may beat them in two weeks, but thats looking a lot tougher now. They should run all over is with Miles Sanders and the QB. Giants are got Jones back to that should help them beat us as well.

I fail to get the fascination with the draft slot.

We are going to overdraft a cornerback and continue to suck next season.

I wouldnt admit that if I were you. Understanding the advantages of drafting higher is very basic.

Ill give you the quick advantages:

1. You get the opportunity to take the better players before the people after you do.
2. If the teams after you REALLY want the players you have a shot to draft, one of them may REALLY overpay to move up to your spot to give you more picks to help improve your team.

Yep. Means nothing. We're not taking a QB so I don't care.

If we were in position for a top 2 pick I'd be invested in it figuring we will trade the pick and get a nice return but that's not the case.

LOL........waaaaaa, Dak will still be our QB so you want to take you ball and go home.

But I get it................ the higher the pick, the better the team will get around Dak which could translate into MORE embarrassment for you.

Not too worried about it. Niners fun game should roll all over us this week. And with Mostert and Wilson all healthy in the backfield it they should easily get over 200 yards rushing. I expect several long TD runs against us.
