Broaddus: Trade Rumor

[robjay04]

Unfortunately, the Dallas Cowboys would....

Dallas selected Claiborne with the sixth overall pick Thursday night, moving up eight spots in the first round after a trade with the St. Louis Rams. St. Louis got the No. 14 pick and the Cowboys' second-round selection, 45th overall.

And most applauded that move.

All it takes is a couple of preseason games to turn a strength into a weakness, so don't expect any trades anytime soon.

Thinking the same thing.
If anything, wait until later in the preseason.
If anything at all

 

[DFWJC]

And most applauded that move.

100% not me. At last a dozen more on this forum as well.

Brockers or Coples
Plus
Alson Jeffery or Bobby Wagner

Would have been outstanding


Old news though

 

[Risen Star]

I would have turned all Tony Montana when they mentioned cornerback.

Who you think you talking to?! ~batting speaker around~

DB's are irrelevant....lol

I am not going to slam Caiborne, but if someone is offering a draft pick, we should probably take it. I hope he does turn it completely around, but either way I can't see us keeping him after this season.

Normally I would agree but with romos shelf life and this team I'm thinking this season and not 'after this season '

Would have been outstanding without a doubt but like you said old news. It was good value at the time considering what other teams have paid to move up that high and Clairborne was drafted at where most teams thought he would go. It wasn't completely neccessary thinking back, almost overload. I don't feel like googling but I believe we just signed Carr, let Newman go but we still had Scandrick and Jenkins. While Jenkins wasn't great, he has had a heck of a better career than Claiborne at this point.

I joined the pet cat club last year after seeing Tyler Patmon ball out in the preseason.

A little part of me might die if they trade him.

I think they would have to pry Tyler Patmon from Marinelli's cold dead hands to make that trade. It was all speculation by Broaddus anyway.

 

[darthseinfeld]

I would trade Claiborne before Patmon. This is a walk year for Claiborne and just the fact of being a former 6th overall pick he should have much more value then Patmon to a team in need of CB's.

Patmon is playing himself into a role on the defense, and we control his contract at a UDFA rate for 3 more years. Im not really interested in trading him, even if Claiborne is the better CB right now

 

[darthseinfeld]

Yes, I could see that. IMO, we only have two NFL caliber safeties on the roster so I would understand that.

Wilcox has had a tough camp so far. I wouldnt be shocked to see Cory White at FS before midseason

 

[Garrettop]

I was never sold on Wilcox. He appeared to have the ability to hit, but his coverage skills left a lot to be desired. He would be ok depth behind Church.

 

[darthseinfeld]

They better not trade Patmon away... that guy is going to be a good player.

Claiborne? I would mind way less with him. Patmon has the exact mental make-up Dallas wants on their team.

Also factor in its a walk year for Claiborne. Even if he turns to corner it doesnt sting because we either would have let him walk or had to make a somewhat blind financial commitment to him.

We control Patmons rights for 3 more seasons at a UDFA rate

I want to see what Byron Jones really does. I bet Coach Marinelli has some defensive packages that he can use to switch all kinds of players around. The same with the dline.

In the top 10 of a draft? They pretty much are.

It is a hard position to evaluate and unless a player is Deion Sanders, you simply do not take one in that area.

Wait a minute, this braintrust thought Claiborne was the next Deion.

He is what he is. A running back struggling to learn how to play safety and it is not coming together.

Instinctually, he is not a lot different now than he was as a rookie.

 

[darthseinfeld]

A 3rd round pick for an RB... That better be a top 10 NFL RB.


Who are some elite RB's with low contracts?

I wouldnt say elite but Tre Mason, Carlos Hyde and Gio Bernard are the only guys that really come to mind if they are talking about a 3rd rounder. Unless for some reason the Bengals are interested in moving Hill which I doubt

I don't think the Niners are interested in moving Hyde either. Mason might be available, but that depends on Gurley.

Your right...but, maybe, just maybe the man will pan out. If not a Deion...I at least hope he earns his money somewhere on the team this season!

Ive heard Gurley is already healthy and looking good in TC.

Hyde, given that they added Bush and Mike Davis and still have Kendall Hunter and they fact that basically got nuked in the offseason, they may be interested in moving Hyde for a day 2 pick. If they really are talking about a 3rd rounder, they 49ers may be listening given how there offseason has gone

I like all four of those backs.
But Hyde is the SF starter.
Also see zero scenario where the Bengals part with Hill. That'd be like us parting with Lawrence....teams don't dump young, rising, talented players still early in rookie contracts

Mason is intriguing.
