Draft Day Players on the trading block?

[Verdict]

Last year we found out that the team tried to move Scandrick on draft day but had no takers. Who may be traded/made available during the draft this year.

Here are my best guess:

1. Dez. But I sort of doubt there may be any takers. Even with inflation he is still overpaid.

2. Beasley. Good player. Tradeable. Good value. One year left on his contract. For the draft pick compensation it would be a low risk deal for the acquiring team. May get a 4th or 5th out of him. He may be the odd man out with all the receivers on the roster. Plus at times I think he may have copped a bit of an attitude last year. Not sure about that tho.

3. Byron Jones. Former first round pick. They have probably been using him wrong. Haven't really settled him in but the talent is undeniable. Someone may think they know more about developing DBs and that would be hard to deny. Someone may pay a 4th or 5th for him. I'm not sure I would let him go for that.

4. Hanna. I would like to see Hanna as the heir apparent to Witten. Rico may be the guy that they will have that chance to. Hanna has speed. This is the type of player that The Hoodie would pick up and turn him into Gronk-lite. Someone might give up a 5th to 7th round pick for him. I think he is worth more than most would think he is.

5. Sean Lee. Elder statesman. If we draft two or three young guys (or plan to) them Sean Lee might become expendable. Maybe they move Jaylon to his spot and use the pick for Lee to draft another linebacker.

Lee has talent, is a good value for his contract and would be a player someone might want to put them over the top. But he doesn't have a lot of years left and we seem to be going toward the youth movement. A team might be willing to give up a 2nd or 3rd to get him. I year ago he was probably worth a 2nd but with his age a 3rd or 4th might be the most a team would offer for him.

I probably wouldn't let Lee go for less than a high 3rd in terms of pick value.

You can probably add Irving to the list - not necessarily what I would do, but wouldn't completely surprise me.

1. Dez. No he will not be traded. unless we get an extra 1st somehow and select Ridley. But very doubtful, Dez stays
2. Beasley. Yes trade him, as we have Switzer to replace his spot.
3. Jones. I doubt this, with Kris Richard here, I can see him finding ways to get him more involved to his skill sets. Especially since Scandrick is gone.
4. Hanna. I can see him or Swaim traded, if they want to target a TE in the draft to take over for Witten next year. But also Rico is a big factor, but they should not count on him just yet.
5. Lee. No way, he is here to stay.

Other possibilities are any DE's. Say they sign Early, and Gregory is reinstated. Though may not be by draft time. Bt there will be a glut all of a sudden at DE. Tapper, or Gregory could be traded, if not at draft time, more likely during TC.

Crawford, but doubt anyone takes on his contract. Maybe Easy can play some on the inside as well, and Crawford gets released, saves cap space.

I don’t see anyone trading with us for Gregory. And JJ and the FO act like they don’t expect him to get reinstated. But that could be a act.

Crawford would be a nice trade for us any any price.

Lee will ride off in the sunset in a wheelchair but with a star on his helmet lol

 

[Idgit]

Don't understand where the traction for Beasley not being on the team is coming from. He's a legit mismatch player, and Switzer has to show more on offense before he's going to be considered a replacement. We probably do let Bease walk in FA when his contract is up, but I can't see it happening before that.

Hanna might be cut outright.

There's no way we trade Lee right now. Not only are we completely dependent on his level of play, but we need him in the LB room to bring Jaylon along. We're going to be adding multiple new LBs in the draft here, and he's pretty much the perfect vet to have in that situation. It's much more likely we find a way to bring Bowman in for a couple year deal and let he and Lee play together again and sail off into the sunset together.

As far as players with trade value go, I still think Irving is a candidate. If we keep the extra TE on the roster, Hanna or Swaim could be guys you might flip for a song and a dance to a team with an injury or needing a TE2, but Hanna's cap relief probably is too tempting to ignore before we get through camp. Not really a lot of traceable assets on this team right now. We've let most of them walk in FA the last few years as it is.

Because they can't comment on Gregory right now. So they said what they said because they really can't say anything else.
Some team, you never know could take a chance on Gregory if reinstated.
It would most likely be a conditional pick.

Reminds me of the song "Desert Skies" by The Marshall Tucker Band.

Where the Cowboy wants to be buried in the desert with his boots and 6-shooter with no grave marker.
Great song and album, off the Carolina Dreams album. 1977 or there about I think.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Anyone that gets traded will be from the bottom third of the roster and won't generate enough of a draft pick to get very excited about.

It makes for interesting banter. Anyone remember the last time we pulled off a draft day trade? Wasn't it Fasano to the Phins way back when. I forget what we got back in terms of a draft pick and who we picked. Beasley I can see depending on what the team sees in Switzer. Personally I think he has an extra gear that Beasley doesn't have. Then again it would be nice to see the two of them on the field together for a few plays. I think we'll use our conditional picks to move around. We've never been much for draft day trades with current players. Hey, maybe it's the new Cowboys. Gidde up, draft us a stud DT 1 like Vea or Payne!!

I think the traction for trading Beasley comes from his salary and the fact that there are too many WRs in the room, especially if we draft one high (a number of our 30 visits are WRs). If we keep Dez, we don't have room for: Dez, Hurns, T Will, D. Thompson, Beasley, Switzer, rookie, Noah Brown. To me, Beasley is the obvious goner. Cutting T Will makes no sense financially because there is absolutely no cap savings. Switzer is a core special teamer. Hurns and Thompson just signed. Presumably, Dez restructured. Brown is a great blocker. Not going to keep more than 6-7 on 53 roster (last year we kept 6). So doing the math, Bease is most likely to go.

Beasley to New England -can see that happening.

Maybe. We’ll see. I think they—and Dak—value what he brings too much for that.

Of the list, my guess would be Beasley. As to how they will try to use him, I think they'll draft BPA that fits a need in the first then try and package Beasley with a pick or two to get back in the late first to high second range and snag their receiver...who most likely figures to take Beasley's spot, so DJ Moore or Christian Kirk...depending on who falls. If both fall, my pick would be DJ Moore.

1. Beasley is 29.
2. The receiver room is currently crowded.
3. Beasley is the only player in that room with distinct trade value and a tradeable contract.
4. They have his heir-apparent in Switzer already on the team.
5. I'm starting to question Beasley's mindset - there was an interview with him and Ben/Skin recently...if you haven't listened to it, you should give it a listen. Based on what I heard, it definitely sounds like he doesn't love football like he used to. Maybe it's being a family man now, but he just doesn't seem to have the same passion he used to. Also, he mentioned he's about to start working out to get in shape for the season by playing pick-up basketball. I don't question that you can get in shape doing that. I do question whether or not you can get better at your craft playing a completely different sport at his level of play. And, as the saying goes, if you aren't get better, you are getting worse. Something to watch...

 

[Bullflop]

Beasley is basically uncoverable at times...

I blame his lack of production last year on coaching

I blame it on a corps of WRs that didn't get the job done adequately and the fact that, consequently, Beasley was double covered relentlessly. Whether it was coaching or simply our performance at WR that's on a downward spiral, it needs to be corrected. The failure of the OL to provide adequate pass protection for Dak didn't help at all, either. Hopefully, the offseason additions and the draft might help to provide relief.

The thing with Beasley is he is in last year of his contract
Next year he walks
Switzer was a fine receiver in college and though he played little he showed he does the same things Beasley does
Trade him now or lose him next year
