I agree.
the article says Dallas would need to give the Rams two 1st round picks in trade along with a huge contract toDonald, you agree with that?

I agree.
Great player, but no.
You would have to give up the moon to get him. Cost you $15M-$20M to sign him. And his production, while better than Maliek Collins, would not be sufficiently better to justify what you gave up to acquire and sign him.
DT isn't the issue on that D-line. Edge rusher is.

This was my theory. They punted signing Martin because they want to swing for the fences and get AD right now and take care of Martin next summer.

Donalds game is not as a space eater. He is a penetrator.I agree with you, sorta. I'm thinking pairing him with Maliek and terrorize the NFL for the next 7-10 years. Let Jerry's accountant figure out the salary cap ramifications later.
You would be wasting his talent as a 1 technique tackle. Moving Collins to the 1 is the same thing.
They basically play the same position.

At least. I wouldn't trade him for less.

I would let go of Martin if I could get Donald. He alone would make this defense soo much better than it is now

David Irving and Maliek Collins could rush in passing downs as the two interior guys, and then with Taco and Lawrence on the edge - that's not bad right there. Donald is another Ratliff mistake we shouldn't make. He's amazing, but I'll bet you Collins gets just as good numbers this year.

While i agree with us not overstretching ourselves with martin and donald...
We need to have some top tier guys on defense who are gonna command big money

Poignant observation.
If you could choose, which way would you go?
I would choose Donald, all things being equal...

Looks like I don't need to ask you... No argument bro.
I can see both sides.

Two 1st rounders would be around 28-32 range since we would be perennial playoff contenders, basically guranteed. We would finally have a Giants type front 7 that would transform our defense. We lost in the playoffs last year because our defense let us down. With AD onboard, that won't be the case no more. Gone would be the days that our offense would carry our defense (even though they can still do it).
So, the above is a long answer to your question: yep, I would do it in a heartbeat and not think twice.
