There are 13 teams with cap problems which means some of them will have to part ways with some players and among those players might be some young, in their 1st contract, D players that are better than what they can get at that 10 spot.
Teams that have to let players walk are in need of young affordable talent, just what that 10th pick could bring them.
The Cowboys are a D or F in FA and C in the draft but they've been an A in trades for players with Cooper and Quinn. I'd say they got more than the 1st pick value with Cooper.
They need immediate help on that D and bringing in a proven player with experience might just be the ticket.
I was going to add Lamb to this as prime trade bait for players or picks but I know how much some of you love him so.
They need to jump start the D build out and I see this as a better path to do that. What say you?
Now I know you are bored.
I say no to a trade. We hold our position in the draft. Let that #10 percolate and grow bigger as graft time and only take an offer that sends us a starter who is near the end of his rookie contract like with Cooper.
One who has am immediate need for us to fix a real problem position. Like safety or LB or DE. Then in any trade if we do this we swap with the other team and receive their 1st rd pick which ends up being late 1st rd.
This adds another starter for us plus another starter we will have to fit under the cap with the trade pick.This adds value to both parties to get what that they need.
If an ideal trade like this happens it would not be risky to do it.
This is not blue-sky thinking. The right teams have to be identified leading up to the draft. Teams with new wanting to quick start their programs are our target teams. There are about 10 from what I can see.
As for adding CeeDee to any trade no no no.
Just stop and think. We had Beasley during Daks best year in 2016 and were playing with a committee
receiver group that did not work. Dak had to have a clear #1 receiver to tell us if Dak was going to improve.
Enter Cooper. This is clearly an answer to supporting Dak better. After Beasley left we signed a Cobb from GB who had nearly 900 yards.
I thought we had dodged a bullet with Cobb.
He then moves on in FA to the Texans. We all were concerned that after not replacing Witten being released that finding a player capable of taking up that slack plus losing Cobb was going to throw a wrench in the explosiveness of the offense.
Then last year..we draft CeeDee who is like 3 yards short of a 1000 yrds at slot receiver from nothing but backups.
CeeDee is a plug and play guy who has the potential to play any pass catching position without any weakness.
Plus he plays kick return and gadjet plays which we need to get him touches. He is too good not to.
So I strongly would not want a trade back in this draft.. I think another blue chip player will fall to us at #10 and we absolutely do not undress Dak's offense by trading what is a crucial player needed for us to get our money worth from Dak.
So get over your bordem and stop fueling potential trade scenarios that make no sense and only hurt us more.
That a boy.
Here is a nice treaty..speak for me..speak..open your mouth.
Good boy..
( just kidding you..I know how smart you are with your thoughts..later)
