TRADED Colts trade five-time Pro Bowl CB Stephon Gilmore to the Cowboys for a 5th round pick

[tm1119]

Needed to add some kind of boundary CB and the market was probably too expensive for the Cowboys so this isn’t a bad solution. Very solid move…now resign LVE or get Wagner and a DT and the D is pretty much set aside from a couple of rookies.

What position are we gonna select if not DT with our 24th pick? Receiver? Tight End? Those 2 aren't our most pressing needs.

Could definitely see WR. Could see RB if Robinson is there and we don't retain Elliott. Not sure about TE.

I'd like to see us go DT, WR, RB in the first three rounds in that order, depending on how things fall.

There goes my hopes of trading up to pick 6 for Witherspoon…

Our *entire* draft wouldn’t get us to #6. You’d have to trade every pick and next years first to get Detroit to answer the phone.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

will they be able to stop the run...

 

[LatinMind]

Sounds like we are trying to build a defense that is tough to score on per Mike. Now we need LB’s and Hankins back

I think Clark is going to be a pro bowler this yr

Good value, but he's pretty washed up.

He had one of his best years ever last year.

Just the truth. Don't know where your take came from.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Are fans happy now?

I am ok with this, for a 5th and you know what he can do.
so don’t need to spend high draft capital at CB. Can focus on DT, WR, OL, LB, possible RB in the 1st 4 rounds.

Something tells me they still won't be happy. Trading for Gilmore and re-signing Wilson means they've already done more to improve the team than last year.

 

[Big_D]

did we not watch the same Anthony Brown, Kelvin Joseph, Nashon Wright,
Treyvon Mullen etc last season?

Corner was still a need and they got a very solid player. And Brown is coming off an injury!

 

[Risen Star]

 

[Carson]

now sign a ILB and bring back Hankins. Focus on the offense in the draft

 

[805BoysInBlue]

I guess we won't draft Emmanuelle Forbes (a true ballhawk) for our 24th pick now.

@160 lbs, that was never an option in the first or even the 2nd for that matter.

 

[chagus]

Very, VERY solid signing. Finally! Some good news!!

 

[Bowdown27]

I think they resign him to a short deal 2-3 years

 

[bayeslife]

Still need outside corner depth but this is a solid move.

 

[baltcowboy]

The Cowboys suck!!! The Joneses don’t know what they are doing.

 

[Carson]

I wonder if somehow Gilmore and Wagner were best friends somewhere and this convinces him to come here

Does Jordan Lewis have any trade value? A 6th?

I mean if you can get a 6th or 7th, why not?

But I have no qualms cutting him. Bland in the slot, Diggs and Gilmore outside. Throw in Kearse, Hooker and Wilson at safety and you have one of the best secondaries in the NFL.

 

[NeonNinja]

Really like this move. Good use of comp pick.

Give me a break, for some reason some people think 30 year olds require walking canes to play sports at that age. Athletes and Average Joes are not the same.
