Can we afford to trade a 1 for Jamal Adams?

[ChuckA1]

Here’s the problem, if the cost was a first round pick, Jamal Adams would be a Cowboys.

They wanted significantly more than that.

Supposedly, there is no love lost between the HC and Adams.

What about a CB?

I have not done enough corners yet to give my opinion... dude Ohio state def with it but he goes top 6

i agree with the previous post Kinlaw but a great choice at 17

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Depends on FA. We need DT help more than safety and if they only find a Covington/Woods type, then a 1st rounder needs to come in at DT

IDK.....While I agree DT position needs upgrading but if you're bringing Woods back and spent a 2019 2nd on Hill, I don't see using a 1st there. It's early but I'd probably use my 1st on the BEST defensive player @17 regardless of position. Just me but we could probably find hungry motivated free agent vet.

Just sign Vonn Bell or Ha Ha Clinton Dix and be done with it.

Nope. There will be a handful of good Safeties in free agency that shouldn't cost the farm. Sign one of them and sign a real good DT. Keep the first round pick.

This is what I see them doing........

I'm also curious to see if Wilson can play or not. He looked promising in preseason and limited opportunities.

This definitely wouldn't prevent me from upgrading the position but we have far too many holes to fill to trade a 1st round pick for a player that is going to need to be immediately extended and off their rookie contract.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Why trade a 1st when we can draft a guy in the first? Besides J.Adams playing size and style has a clone in Patrick Nelson safety from SMU. We can get Nelson in the fifth of the upcoming draft.

Wow.

If they only wanted a 1 Adams would already be playing for us.
If that price drops to a 1 I am sure we will revisit it and very strongly consider pulling the trigger.

How about a 1 and one of our overpaid o lineman to save some cap space to get a d lineman

Exactly...………..we offered our 1st straight up for Adams at the trade deadline and the Jets said no.

So has the price dropped?

If they will take our 1st straight up, then yeah, I do it.

I like Delpit. But if it’s just a one for Adams or a one for Delpit, give me Adams all day everyday

2021 - 1st Rounder

 

[Mobinvans]

Of course hes worth a 1st round pick...hes the best safety in the league

Ain't gonna happen though

 

[mathew1184]

I think we need talented and cheap depth more. Thats how we built this team...but the last two drafts have hurt us.

So, no I dont think Id give up 17 for him, right now.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

We need lots of DB talent. Better get busy in the draft cuz we have a bunch of other players to pay.

 

[G2]

NO dude cant tackle

I disagree. He had a shoulder issue, but outside that he's impressive. Check his games from 2018.

 

[bodi]

i take kinlaw and draft burgess in the 3rd

One prospect I think this front office will love is Utah’s Terrell Burgess. The Cowboys ask their safeties to play a lot of man coverage, and Burgess is one of the best pure man defenders at the position in this draft. He can also play deep middle with his range, as well as in the box with his disciplined pursuit and finishing consistency against the run. Burgess’ versatility fits exactly what Dallas has valued at the position in recent years.

 

[Rayman70]

no. We cannot trade a premium draft pick for Adams. We can get a safety if we so choose, in the draft or free agency. MM will need those picks to retool the team in his image.Like it or not, we are in a slight state of flux with the roster. Its all about 2021, with hopes of greatly improving in 2020. That's the truth.

 

[CashMan]

I am not sure you can afford to re-sign the guy. So it might be a waste if you trade for him.

 

[jterrell]

guess it depends on which overpaid lineman you mean.
tyron would likely require a high first to replace but is paid a lot.

cwill is still cheap, mcgovern is cheap.
travis is recovering from his disease but i guess you could label him overpaid if you were a heinous monster

martin is the 2nd best OG in football, so a solid value.
la'el just had a pro bowl and near all pro worthy level season and is probably a bargain.

 

[Rayman70]

you don't build a 3-4 defensive scheme around a safety. Football doesn't work like that. Its built from the trenches FIRST then the back end. Look at San Fran. Keep our premium picks and manipulate the draft using those picks to move up or back. Without those high picks, we have no ability to maneuver and get a player we want. Its a pass for me. I would use a 3rd rounder this year and a 3rd in 2021 for Him. MAYBE throw in a player like Chido.
