Why didn't the Cowboys trade up for Edmunds? Much better prospect than Vander Esch and moving up 3 spots wouldn't cost that much.

Taking the top-10 post popular analyst big boards, Edmunds was on average 2 spots ahead of LVE as an overall prospect.

And maybe nobody wanted to trade with us

You know it takes two to trade, right?

exactly AND from the looks of it the trade values were actually steeper than expected ..just going up 2-3 spots looked outrageous..I was hoping theyd go get james but SD was going to trade so we would have to go higher..people keep saying he was only two spots no he wasn't it would have taken going up to where you had a trade partner other than SD..

I know many don’t want to hear this but I don’t think they were very far apart. PFF (I know, I know) has LVE rated #2 ahead of Edmunds

I suspect we just aren’t very good at trades and with a Stephen in charge, they low ball trade offers.

They horde mid round picks like they are gold.

Edmunds biggest knock is his questionable instincts. Many feel they will get better with experience cause he's so young, but if you have average instincts, doesn't matter how athletic you are. Think Bruce Carter. I believe the Cowboys had LVE rated ahead of him.

If we were going to trade for Earl Thomas, why not for Erwin James? That would have made more sense. Now we get a soon to be often injuried linebacker

I totally agree here. Great physical tools but instincts lacking. Takes too much time or false steps to diagnose the play.

Earl for 2nd rounder and you keep your 1st and 3rd. 3 players.
Trade up for James even with a 1+3, you only get two players.
