I think a lot of folks missed the premise of my question. I am not asking would you rather have Hitchens and Wilson for LVE and Smith in a clean swap. I am asking, would you swap LBs if it also meant the Cowboys would have had an opportunity to draft an impact DT? Its a hypothetical of course. I believe the Cowboys over-value LBs and undervalue DTs and Safeties. I believe average LBs behind a quality pair of DTs would be more effective than 3 first round picks at LB but a bunch of JAGs playing DT.
And btw, for those who have forgotten, Hitchens left after the 2017 season when, I believe, the Cowboys were still in CAP jail. I think they wanted to sign him but just could not fit him into their cap plans after Romo retired.
