Broaddus says he was told by Cowboys that they would not take Hampton at 12

[Carson]

Or trade down to 20, with Courtland Sutton part of the deal, along with Denver’s 85. Will be plenty good DEs still available then. Two birds, one stone.

Problem with Sutton, you’re paying big $$$ next season for him

I think one of the things I've heard him say about Egbuka is he's the best blocking WR in the draft.

IMO, Egbuka is good at almost everything, but not exceptional at anything. Probably has a very high floor, but I don't think he has the ceiling of a 12th pick.

If we could get him towards the end of the rd he would be a good pick I think. Yeah a jack of all trades is a master of none but bluntly speaking is that not what you want in a #2?

 

[ScotsCowboy]

Why are they trading up though?

I’d argue they have fewer pressing needs than we do, but WR is one of them. They may trade up for a Tet or Golden. They could also do with a TE, and there’s talk that they like Warren.

To me, CB is at least as much a 1st round need for us as WR. Barron is likely there at 20, but 12 is too rich. Trade 12 and a later pick for 20, Sutton and hopefully 85.

Trade ups in the 1st for TE's are incredibly rare. Kinkaid in 2023 was the 1st time that happened in 20 years.

If Dallas wants a WR as much as people are saying they do, they will just take the one they want at 12. Thats how they operate. The trades they have made in the past where when their targets were off the board. Trading down with one of their targets there is not how they operate. And if a WR is gone, they would probably just take Williams or Stewart. They have talked about DE as a place they were targeting too.

I really really wouldnt count on Dallas trading down this year

Also noteworthy:

- He's got 15 1st round grades.

- He has Golden as his WR4, behind McMillan, Burden and Egbuka.

- Kaleb Johnson is his RB2.

- Notre Dame CB Benjamin Morrison is one of his 1st round grades.

- His board will be posted on the 105.3 website on draft week.

Good .. Hampton at 12 would be an awful pick provided our needs at multiple premium positions and the ability to select a day 1 starter RB in a later round. I like the player but hate the selection at 12.

So the FO Stephen or whoever ordered Broaddus to declare they won't be taking Hampton. Let's see 11 days to go, yeah that seems to check out as normal operating procedure at this time.

You mistake me: I’m not guessing what Jerry and co will do; I’m giving an opinion on what I think they should do, which is kind of the point.

If this forum were just about predicting what the most predictable FO of all time were going to do, it wouldn’t be much fun.

Does it matter?

 

[darthseinfeld]

Does it matter?

Yes. They arent trading up because its fun

Its also not that much fun to read through empty trade downs with no real scenario attached to it. This forum gets drunk on those awful simulators to the point where real world possibilities become irrelevant to them

That title is a broad statement taken as a definitive that isn't exactly accurate.

If we were picking a RB early, why would we bring in 11 RB's?

 

[Coogiguy03]

I don’t mind Broaddus as much I used to hate him.

He does base a lot of assessments on inside knowledge. Now, how much info the guys on the inside give him is another thing lol

Him and Voch are a good listen on their show.

I wonder who is paying who! lol

 

[Coogiguy03]

Don't rule out the UCLA LB, Eberflus is a former LB coach and has targeted the position at other spots. I like Revel, but he is a poor fit in his zone scheme, he is a press corner.

2nd round

 

[baltcowboy]

Voch likes him some voch. Just thinks what he says is the gospel truth. He needs to be a bit more humble. Let others partake equally in their opinions. He's not always my cup of tea. Jeff Cavanaugh is just as bad or worse.

When I hear Jeff and Voch’s opinion on players I just go back to their reaction to the Cowboys drafting Parsons.

 

[Risen Star]

Not really. He was told by someone in the building and I quote "We're not taking Hampton at 12".

Doesn't get any more clearer than that.

 

[RonWashington]

The way Brosdus gushes over Jeanty as a top 3-5 pick round one it occurred to me the Giants making up for Barkley mess might take him . I hope he doesn’t end up in the NFCE .

 

[cnuball21]

If this is true this is the best draft news I’ve heard all cycle.

Don't forget Mosher. He called it awful.

They don't know any more than you do. They just have a microphone.
