Trade 44 and 115 (or even the 4th round comp) to move up to 35 or 36. That should be enough capital to move up and nab either Barmore or Morehig.

Jags may be interested in getting more picks since round 1 they spent their picks on offense and need a ton of defensive help.

And we keep all 3 3rd round picks and draft who falls to us.

I wouldn’t mind that approach. I’d rather finish the focus of shoring up run defense & getting best available DT.

I'm on board, but didn't the kid say moving up is unlikely because they have to cover the overpayment of other guys?

Ojulari and Moehrig are two of my favorite guys in the entire draft.

Both sitting there.

I dont expect to get either.

Three 3rd round picks is plenty of quality prospects and potential future starters I think.

And Barmore or Moherig are likely starters day 1.

Not taking a corner with our first pick today is a huge risk. Doesn't mean we shouldn't do it, but it's a big problem for us.

Though unpopular, I think walking away with someone like Moehrig in a tradeup and Samuel/Campbell/Joseph by packaging the other two #3's would give us three defensive starters with some talent. We'd be losing out on maybe adding some decent edge rush/tackle, but might be worth it.

Moehrig is great value. Sounds like Oj's knee is an issue, otherwise, he's great value.

So what corner should we have taken when the two best were off the board. Taking a corner just because would have been a reach. We can still get a corner but I'm not going to reach to do so. Also I'm kind of done taking corners because the ones we've taken recently don't work out. Your corners are only as good as your Dline and LBs putting pressure on the QB and shutting down the running game. If we can't do that then a CB is useless in this NFL.

Draft Holland at 44 and then use two or our 3rds to trade up and get the best CB still available. Use our last 3rd to draft a good DT and call it a day.

Hold the line and draft responsibly is my approach.

4 picks tonight and people are talking like the best players in this draft are all gone by pick 35? If Dallas has done it's homework in the scouting department, we should clean up tonight with adding talent to this team.

I don't think a 4th round pick would do it...it would take a one of the 3rd rounders

I'm in total agreement 100% with you

Now that would be a no go for me.

I would love to move up but I'm 100% sure it would take one of our 3rd Rounders and I don't want to. Hey there
are enough players in a deep draft to get 4 really good players

Stay put and pick your picks 44,75,84 & 99 and you can come away with quality guys at CB, DT, OT and S.

If you look at who may be around at those picks you could come away with the likes of:

Tyson Campbell - CB
Alim McNeil - DT
Walker Little - OT
Andre CIsco - FS

If you don't like those pick you own, the point being after 2 days you can come away with 5 players in the top 100 at positions of need without reaching.

Day two strategy is to stay put, but tomorrow, trade up for high picks or trade down for future higher picks.

Yep this is the best approach and makes three most sense. Dallas is in prime position to get 4 players that could potential be starters but at worst depth and rotational guys. Could be something like....

2. Joseph/Samuels CB
3. Holland/Grant/Washington FS
3. Adebo CB/Surrat, Browning, Werner LB
3. McNeil/Wilson DT

Considering how much draft capital they have they really don't need more picks.

Just like the Cowboys don't need 10 picks between today and tomorrow.

Jags have a much worse roster than Dallas.

They want as many picks as they can get especially with a new head coach.
