Cowboys trying to trade up to 32

[theebs]

Why are we trying so hard to give away picks? Barf.

I know it's probably for Ogbah.. Would the teams in front of us take him?

more likely someone else will move into Cleveland's spot to take whoever it is they feel they need if this is true.

I don't think 9 players are going to make this roster in anyway shape or form but if its anything more than a 6 to move up that is foolish.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Yes....a guy with 3 trophies.

5 trophies....possession is ownership

 

[Sydla]

Wait until we find out we traded 34 and 101 for Connor Cook.

 

[Risen Star]

And why the heck is this getting out any way? Who's the mole in that war room? Fire that guy.

 

[StylisticS]

I would very much hate that.

 

[viman96]

that's one 5th rd pick value. since we don't have a 5th, then two 6th rd picks?

Dallas only has 1 6th they can trade. 3 of them are comp picks which cannot be traded.

The strength of this draft is the 2nd through 4th round, so of course it makes sense to have less of those picks.

I'm convinced that Jones views the draft as a publicity opportunity rather than a valuable tool to build your roster and contend for championships.

 

[Ken]

Everyone remember 2014 when they traded up in the 2nd to grab Lawrence?

How did that work out? (Other than the ridiculous prescription med suspension this year)

Of course 9 draft picks aren't going to make the team. But you don't know which of the 9 won't pan out. The more guys you pick, the better your odds that some of them will work out (adjusting for round, of course).

 

[dbonham]

Man there are some really good players available. Billings and Alexander come to mind for me.

 

[Risen Star]

You might as well say 5. He had as much to do with the first two than the last three, other than hiring his college roommate.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

The Browns want more picks too.

This would be wasteful but it's what these guys do. You're 2 picks away for crying out loud.

Only way this makes sense is if they're targeting one guy. If, say, Dodd and Spence are close on their board, might as well wait. Not sure why they feel the need to get to 32 and didn't to 31, or 30, or 29. Maybe they view Tennessee as a serious threat to snatching their guy. Hopefully it's all a smokescreen though. Apparently they loved Lynch, but not enough to offer more in a trade up. So if they maintained their composure in that situation, hopefully they'll maintain it here too.

 

[gimmesix]

Boy you'd think some team would be trying to trade with the Browns to get Cook. Please don't trade anything more than a 6th. Unless this guy is the next Haley keep your 4th Jerry!

That might be exactly what we're doing.

He deserves as much credit for the first 2 as the last 3.

right but to move up here shouldn't cost us more than a 6...or if it does shame on them.

 

[Sydla]

If all we are trading is a 6th round pick or so for it, no biggie.

But if it's the 101st pick, then Jerry just Jerry'd us.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

What a dumb team we are. Smh

Yes, if the actually make the move. I am hoping it's a smoke screen because they couldn't possibly be that reckless, impulsive and knee-jerk reactive, could they?

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Seems asinine, but look who's running things, so no surprise.

But, but, but...player X is the missing piece. Cue everyone who would post "Championship!"

 

[casmith07]

who would we target that we are sure wont be there when Browns are Tennessee pick?

Who would we want that we are sure won't be swooped in by someone else trading with Cleveland or Tennessee, should be the question.

 

[Ken]

Given to him by his college teammate.

It's the ultimate desperation to think Jerry built that dynasty and then turned into a laughing stock of the league the moment Jimmy left.

Oh boy. Who hired Jimmy?

I expect this from Commanders fans but not true Cowboys fans....
