maybe this is why Jerry says he is the best possible man to be GM of the Dallas Cowboys?? Perhaps a lesser GM woulda got hoodwinked by the Texans.

I didn't want to drop back for more than a few spots and I knew that was slim chance with no one really worth moving up for...but I still think Dallas missed an opportunity to get an impact player at a position of need and chose to go with slightly upgrading a position that had depth with a safe pick.

No Houston trade would have enticed me unless it included players on their current roster.

I am not dropping to 25 away from every R1 graded player for picks outside the top 50. That might win mock drafts, but it fails in real life.
Dallas has drafted excellently in the top 18 for over a decade. But from that 25-60 area they have largely been trash. Micah and Cee Dee are All Pro level guys. I don't need one more Schoonover bad enough to take those deals.

Yeah, taking Henderson, Williams or Simmons at 25 and having 2 rd 2 picks would have been horrible

Houston tried to move up with us. When they couldn’t move up with us, or possibly multiple other teams they called ahead of us, they traded right out of the first round altogether with the NYG’s.

That tells me they probably weren’t huge fans of the options around 20-25. I’m sure they had the ammo to move up to 18 or so but didn’t do it once the graded 1st rounders were gone.

That trade back with Houston was pretty far back. We couldn’t even of drafted the “Golden boy” guys here wanted.

Exactly. Look who came off the board between 12 and 25. The entire fan base would be miserable right now. Golden and Egbuka, Nolan, Omarion. The draft targets were picked clean.

no. no lesser gm was hoodwinked, thus they couldn't make any deals to move up.

he probably started talking about a web-back...blinking lights and that poor ol' safety position that keeps getting slighted and houston just hung up the damn phone.
