Doing the unthinkable

[RS12]

Stanley and Tunsil are two of the safest picks in the draft. That said I dont see it. You dont even know what you have in Chaz yet.

 

[Killerinstinct]

I would Just go with Treadwell since we cant have a trade back. He's not on the same level as Amari Cooper last draft but he is not too far behind. He has pro bowl level talent potential and would cause nightmares for defensive coordinators who have to decide who to double up on.

OK but the scouts you pay to put your board together have him rated as the 11th best player. The 11th best player is worth 1250 points on the value chart. Are you going to pay 1800 for a 1250 player? That is the equivalent of giving away pick 35. Ughhhhh!

 

[CF74]

If I believe my board I gotta go BPA.

It's a tough one. I can see going either way but I agree with you. Have to take the higher rated player when the difference is that significant. Otherwise why even have a scouting department?

You have him as our 11th best player, not our scouts

I guess you didn't read it.

I guess you didn't read it.

I get what your doing but you gotta understand people arent going to agree with your rankings and views of players. Even in the spirit of the thread I have hard time passing on Goff or Hargreaves who I value much more then you.

Im not trying to knock you or the thread ( its a good thread BTW ) In this senario Im taking Goff

OK it was a "what if" exercise with the assumption that that was the rankings made by Mcclay and the scouts. Hargreaves III is ranked no 11 by CBS

It is certainly not inconceivable that Mcclay and Co come up with similar rankings.

Ok then give me my team of scouts board in order from 1-11. I chose Treadwell because he is ranked #1 in his position and i believe during last years off season someone brought to everyone's attention that we have a pattern of taking the top rated player of a position instead of the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th ranked player in of a position.

 

[AzorAhai]

This is such a fruitless excercise. You pushed the thread in one direction and basically the only option you are giving people is either Stanley or we're wasting picks.

Since you are stacking the deck and declaring all of the other players people commonly have ranked between 5-10 poorly graded by our scouts, tell us who IS graded as players 5-10 by our scouts in this excercise? So what, Goff and Jack are lower on our board. Hargreaves is 12. Treadwell 11. Does our board just jump from 5 to 11 or something? Do we not have a player ranked 1 spot lower than Stanley? Or 2? It's ill conceived and looks like you are attempting to push people into a corner with Stanley or a "reach".

 

[tyke1doe]

Some of you are overthinking this. Just roll with the man's scenario.

It's hard to see us taking another offensive lineman. Based on your board, I'd have to go with Treadwell, though I have my doubts taking a receiver that high.
Personally, if Hargreaves is #12, I take him because corner is a greater need than OL or WR.

 

[waving monkey]

I take BPA
And yes. I would ABSOLUTELY select Tunsil. I don't care how many OL the Cowboys selected lately. I will never pass up an elite talent at any position.

Having flexible view of problem solving allows for a wider approach as circumstances change.

 

[sureletsrace]

There is absolutely no way we don't have trade offers if Stanley is sitting there at our pick. Sorry.

There are far too many Tackle-needy teams for us to not have even 1 trade offer.

So in this scenario, I take the best trade offer I get and roll with it. Stick to BPA with a slight preference for a groomable QB, day 1 CB, playmaking RB and WR.

 

[Risen Star]

Based off the highly unrealistic scenario you painted, CB boy, yes....I take the offensive lineman. And I live with the nightmare of having 5 outstanding players along the OL. I would watch the games wishing they were 120 lbs slimmer and capable of press coverage.

 

[VACowboy]

That's a lot of hypotheticals.

In that scenario, I also assume Nkemdiche had great interviews. He's my pick at #6.
