Cowboys have heard from 5 teams about trading 34

[ConceptCoop]

absolutely not. We essentially have another 1st rounder.

Not if we use it on Ogbah.

It depends on how many guys they have a 1st round grade on when the pick comes up, IMO.

 

[Teague31]

If we can't get Jack I'm all over moving back a bit. Would rather that than reach for a hack like Ogbah. He is Ekuban 2.0

 

[WillieBeamen]

Dodd
Spence
Jack
Reed
Billings
Bullard
Alexander
Shepard
Von bell
Correa
Robinson
Ogbah
Ragland

We cant go wrong with any of these picks imo. I would do it depending on how far we drop.

 

[Risen Star]

Yup, don't trade down just to trade down. If there's a bonafide stud, you take him.

Any other old-timers remember passing up on Tony Brackens? How great would he have been instead of Kavika Pittman and Clay-freaking-Shiver?

I remember it well.

Let's not open up those old wounds now right before day 2. It's bad karma. No ill advised high fives tonight.

 

[iceberg]

Just mentioned by Rapoport on NFLN. 5 teams want that pick.

Can they rush the passer?

What if there are 5+? Robinson, Reed, Billings, Shepard, Spence, Jack, Jones, Ragland, Mackenzie...I'm sure a lot of teams had some combination of these guys pegged as first rounders.

We still have 8 picks, it wouldn't hurt to have an extra 3rd or 4th but we are not desperate for extra picks. Just take the best player that has a chance to make an impact day one on this defense.

 

[dallasdave]

Maybe we can get someone to overpay

Like that idea !!!

 

[dallasdave]

But what if the deal includes a 2017 1st round pick?

Eh? See? It's tempting.

Very !!!!!

Everybody wants these top 3 or 4 picks because of the 1st round talents still available. Accumulating picks is great but the flip side is you are giving up a very good player to do it. Those 3s and 4s better add up to something and it's a real stretch to think ours will.

I would rather be looking at a way to add another second and keep 34. Some nice players there and while this is a deep draft I'd rather get more in the second than the 4th

If it were me, and I had five first round grades, I would trade down no further than four spots, unless someone offered me something crazy (i.e. next years first).

Nailed it. Don't get suckered.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but I agree with this to an extent. Five teams want that pick because there are first-round talents still there. That probably tells us we should stay where we are and get one of those first-round talents.

However, we'll probably stay where we are and not get one of those first-round talents.

I think the goal of trading back (if we do) should be to use that ammo to move up at later spots in the draft. I agree that we don't need more picks, but we have plenty of holes and could certainly use more top 90 picks.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

No one could have predicted the number of quality defensive linemen still on the board after round 1.

No. I'm serious.

Great post!

 

[TheCoolFan]

We did not go 4-12 to give up a high 2nd rounder just for an extra 3rd or extra mid-rounders. We need as many elite prospects as possible. You're not going to find that later.

 

[Risen Star]

I won't lie and say I didn't think about that comparison before.

Anything that gives you ammunition to get a QB next year works for me.
