Does anyone know if we ever got an offer from the Bears?

[Flamma]

Caleb Farley. Then in the 2nd round they could have used one of their 4th round picks to move up for Moehrig.

Well, Parsons and Kelvin Joseph as opposed to Farley, Moehrig, and next year's 1st round pick from Chicago. I think the play of Parsons is going to determine which of the two is better.

People are still making up this bullcrap trade that was never offered to us.

Still waiting on an answer as to who said that and when.

I'm not buying that Chicago drafted a franchise QB at 11 but didn't pick up the phone at 10.

 

[Scotman]

In retrospect, that looks like the most likely scenario. When the corners went, Parsons was their top defensive player left. There was a big drop off after him on their boards.

They knew that they could still get one of Slater or Parsons if they dropped down two spots so they were willing to risk that. But dropping down to 20 means they’re both gone. And they likely weren’t willing to miss out on both

IF they had an offer, I don't think the process is really any more complicated than this. I think you probably nailed it.

Jerry talked about it that night. He said they had an offer to move lower than they did but didn’t want to miss out on Parsons. Had to have been the Bears.

to trade down to 20?

We will probably never know
Not in the front office best interest for us to find out they passed on that windfall of a deal.

to trade down to 20?

I heard we didn't get that offer Giants got

 

[Dre11]

Where did you see that?

Not saying it didn't happen, I must have missed it.

It was reported, can't remember who

 

[DFWJC]

to trade down to 20?

I don’t think we did.

and I suspect that if Devonte Smith was not taken at 10 by Philly, the Giants would not have taken this trade at 11

 

[kskboys]

No we didn’t. It’s been reported we didn’t get that offer. I don’t know why people are still so upset about something that never was

Link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Runwildboys]

people looking for something to complain about

Always

Yeah, that is what I recall hearing.

It makes sense though. Why would you call Dallas who had the higher pick and weren't in the market for a quarterback?

Mind you....when was this call even made?

Because all things point to the Giants drafting Devonta Smith. So if the Cowboys just traded with the Eagles that was the writing on the wall for the Giants so at that point if I'm a team I'm calling the Giants knowing they just missed out on their target of Devonta.

They wouldn't have. It just worked out perfect for the Giants...well perfect as it could. Smith was the target. They missed out....for some reason they still felt receiver was a weakness so they were determined to get one. They could trade down and still get one. Cowboys didn't have that luxury. They trade down their draft is screwed this year.

to trade down to 20?

The Cowboys were not going to trade down to #20 even for an 1st round pick next year.

All of the players they had graded as 1st round picks that didn't have serious medical issues would have been off the board.

Micah Parsons was a slam dunk elite prospect. He only made it to #12 because the NFL puts a higher value on QB, WR and CB than off-ball LB.

Parsons was almost universally regarded as a better prospect than the CBs that were drafted ahead of him, but teams lean towards need and positional value.

not sure they wouldn't have considered a trade to 20 but i agree with the rest,,fans see to think parsons was consolation prize and missing on the 2 cbs left us parsons as last resort when in fact he for sure was on most peoples mocks going to us and for sure on the DC list regardless of what order they had for 1st rounders', he was on there , no doubt..

 

[jaythecowboy]

In hindsight it would have been a mistake. Who would Dallas have picked? Barmore, Moehrig? I was all for it, I just didn't foresee both of those players dropping as far as they did. I thought they'd go sooner than their projection.

As it turns out, Dallas could have traded up for either of those two relatively cheap. I don't think they wanted either one.

I would have taken Newsome at 20. 3rd corner on my board and get the 1st next year. Parsons better be worth it or it's gonna look bad not getting that 1st next year.

Yeah, like I said in a different post, Parson's play is going to eventually determine what was the right move. I just thought it was a crap offer by Chicago. I would have rather had their 2nd this year.

A 2nd this year would have been great too.

you keep using the unproven fact we were offered the trade, no proof whatsoever, using hypotheticals as fact is ridiculous..

so better who you bettering?? the DC Team is now your child..what are you going to do if turns out to be mists??nothing

keep watching ,thats how it works for fans..we dot control all this and thats also assuming Newsome is what all world? what if he stinks?/ see all the what if in stupid what if thread after thread..smh.

Parsons is regarded as one of the best defenders in the draft, hes gifted athletically and only getting better, he was picked 12th good or bad it was the correct pick at the moment..it wasn't bad pick now and wont be if he doesnt meet expectations. Its how the draft works.

this isn't taco situation...we picked both need and best defender on the board..

The majority of the draft media has Parsons ranked as a top 10 pick.

Multiple well known draft analysts said Parsons would have been ranked ahead of Isaiah Simmons if they had been in the same draft (Simmons was #8 in 2020).

The Cowboys biggest issue in 2020 might have been the LB position.

How could they possibly pass on an elite prospect?
