Dallas has 10 selections over seven rounds, tied for second-most in NFL

anyone boasting about having a lot of fifth rd picks need to remember how few fifth rd picks ever make decent starters, let alone stars.

Yep. OP is boasting about Dallas having a pocket full of pennies.

That is a HUGE distortion of the picture. The Cowboys have 5 selection in the last 2 rounds.

So they have 5 picks in the first 5 rounds. Sounds completely different saying it that way.

Use the late ones to trade up if possible or trade for next year picks. Come away with 4-6 good selections.

Drafting a guy just to cut him at the end of camp is the worst possible outcome.

15 is better than 10. Keep trading down until we get that many or more!

I think I'm smelling a little sarcasm here.

The problem is those 6th and 7th round picks have no value. All 5 combined only equal one of the last 5 picks in round 5.

It's better to just keep them and take a chance on those important positions like LT or CB to see if somehow you found a hidden gem.

What about trading them away for future picks? Don't you get a higher pick in return?

I'm just not a fan of taking 5 lottery shots. I would try to convert them into something that helps me get a player I have more confidence in. Now or in the future.

That is why passing in FA to get comp picks is a stupid move by Stephen. He basically wants to get a head start signing undrafted free agents.

If you bundled all 5 that might get you a 4th next year. But what GM is going to give you a 4th next year for those 5 picks? Even Jerry isn't stupid enough to do that.

Stephen would do it all day long.
