Cowboys tried to trade up in first/ second round last night

[Risen Star]

A trade up to the top of the 2nd round would erase all the feel good I have for the Martin pick at 16.

Now if it's a minor move up that costs us one of our half dozen 7th rounders, okay, but not a major move that forces us to give up something more substantial.

 

[JD_KaPow]

Follow the board.
If they're five picks away and there's only one guy left in their highest tier, by all means look for a fair trade up.
If it's their pick and there are five guys left in their highest tier, by all means look for a fair trade down.
I have a lot of trust in the Cowboys' ability to build good draft boards; not so much in their ability to stick to the process.

Lawrence is probably the last remaining starting-caliber weakside edge rusher in the draft, and the Falcons are after him, too. If the team wants to avoid a gaping hole at WDE, they're going to have to burn a fourth and jump Atlanta. It's that simple. That said, arguably the best 1-technique in the draft wouldn't be a horrible consolation prize.

Atlanta needs one bad. They might move up.

 

[NJ22]

Maybe it would have been for Easley.

I agree.

 

[1LoyalCowboyFan]

If those are the targets I hope we stay put. Get Attoachu Jerry.

I like Jeremiah (Jerry) as well. Like a lot lol worries me not many do. Think he could be the pick if all are gone. Worst case scenario Crichton should be there but he wouldn't play WDE would he?

 

[1LoyalCowboyFan]

No, there are more then just Lawrence. To be honest, Lawrence, from what I've watched of him, is really not that great of an edge rusher. Attaochu is the guy, IMO, who is the best WDE prospect for our scheme, who is still left on the board. He can bend the corner, he can bull rush and he is strong at the point of attack with a lot of upside. He is relentless and has the kind of motor that will allow him to be a factor in the 4th quarter. He is nasty as well. In fact, he will probably have to be taught to control that temper a bit because he does not like to be tested. 33 inch length arms with excellent burst off the line. His 40 time is 4.6 compared to Khali's 4.59. His 10 yard split is 1.55 compared to Khali's 1.64. His 20 yard split is 2.65 which is exactly what Khali ran as well.

This is the guy I want us to take in the 2nd round.

Lol okay so I'm not totally bonkers. Jeremiah is who I want too. But when boys didn't invite looked like no one considered him anymore.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

If I read correctly, out of the remaining 2nd-round prospect DLmen, the only ones we brought in for a work out are:
1) Jernigan
2) Crichton
3) Ealy
4) Lawrence
5) Kareem Martin

There are 15 picks before us, so I think at least one of those guys will be available at 47. I think we'd be very upset if they all start to come off the board before we pick. If I was a betting man, which I am, I'd say our 2nd round pick will be one of these 5 guys.

Mickey just said on the show there is a rumor he has a medical issue that teams won't like.

Huh wonder if it has legs

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Don't mess up a good start by being impatient and overreacting. Sit tight at 47. If you don't get your edge rusher, so be it. It's a multi-year fix.

I wouldn't even mind a trade down. I agree don't trade up.

 

[Smith22]

Huh wonder if it has legs

He speculated that it is a spinal type issue or something of the sorts.

 

[ABQcowboyJR]

Lol okay so I'm not totally bonkers. Jeremiah is who I want too. But when boys didn't invite looked like no one considered him anymore.

They didn't invite Ware either.

 

[CF74]

It would be nice to somehow come up with a 3rd pick tonight.

This...

We need 2 DL in the 2nd Round..

Lol points for the elaborate imagery

 

[ringmaster]

Crichton, too, is available. And ATL might also take the TE to replace Gonzales, as there are a couple good players there still, too.

Correct Idgit and there is Seferian-Jenkins, Amaro, and other TEs at play for the Falcons.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

What about putting Selvie on the weak side...in the preseason, there were a lot of people that thought he looked better there than he did on the strong side. Anyone agree?

 

[ceerrece]

The only players worth trading up for, are Jernigan and Ealy, both have first round grades by most of analysts.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Don't mess up a good start by being impatient and overreacting. Sit tight at 47. If you don't get your edge rusher, so be it. It's a multi-year fix.

Exactly. There is no reason to get impatient and screw anything up.

Mickey just said on the show there is a rumor he has a medical issue that teams won't like.

Mickey also said before the other day had a so so senior bowl. I feel bad that those guys have to do radio shows with that clown.

 

[pancakeman]

Huh wonder if it has legs

If he doesn't have legs, that seems like a medical issue that would be obvious to all.
