Happy Draft Day!

-Give it up to Schott and the front office, we have some idea who they may draft, but in the past, we knew weeks prior who they were taking. Same as last year, nobody thought Booker ever was going to be the pick at 12 nor saw Ez on their radar.

-Everything points to sticking and picking at premium positions. As we know, Edge/Corner are among the most expensive on the open market. We saw average edge players like Phillips get paid 30 million a year after coming off of a 5 sack season. Rams signed McDuffie, a solid corner to 31 million per season, which is crazy.

-I have heard that the Cowboys have zero interest in trading pick 20 away as it has been earmarked for a player they love. My guess it is one of these 4: Lawrence, Faulk, Hood or Johnson.

-At 12, I think they are targeting one of Styles, Downs, Delane and may trade up for one of the three. Don't see a big move, maybe just to pick 9 if they made that decision.

-Who is their fall back player if they are wiped out or cannot trade back? Tyson interest is legitimate, but I think he is long gone. My guess would be Faulk.

-In my opinion, with no media scouts mocking the Cowboys a 1st rd linebacker and them having a late 3rd rd pick when they will be long gone, tells me that they have post draft trade or fa signing in place. It would not surprise if we don't see a linebacker drafted until late day 3.

-My dream 1st rd, would be Downs, Allen (trade down) and adding a day 2 pick.

Well your mind works very similarly to mine. Possible trade up to 9 if Downs, Styles or Delane is there. I think Delane will be there. My dream 1st is Downs, JRod with a trade back at 20 netting another pick but also believe they may not draft a LB early as they may have a post draft trade lined up. I just hope it’s not Queen. I also think Faulk is their wipeout plan at 12.
 
Opinion:


Cowboys are gonna trade pick 20 for Maxx Crosby and thats the “something juicy happening” that Glazer is hinting at

Its why they are so adamant on not wanting to give up 20 to move up
Crosby for 20 would be amazing
Get Downs or Delane at 12 or Hood/M-W after a trade down from 12
Then trade next years 3rd rd pick to Miami for Brooks
 
Yeah this is all dead on accurate from the various reports and podcasts I've indulged in.

Its changed a lot in the past few weeks, but this is pretty much the most up to date stuff they are "whispering" about.

It has to be Malachi Lawrence, Hood, or Johnson at 20. Although I've also heard they like Stukes a ton as well.

It will be very interesting if we stand pat, and one of our big three targets doesnt fall.

Many of our mocks were similar.

Everything is on the table, heard they have zero interest of moving that pick.

I can definitely see that.

Also, I think their wipe-out, last resort guy at 12 will be Hood, not Faulk. Just not buying the Tyson interest.

Not the best example, but I could see Tyson if it played out like the 2014 draft.
We supposedly wanted Shazier, Barr, Donald and I think someone else on defense.
All went before our pick, with Steelers taking Shazier right before us.
BPA became Martin and well their wants on defense was taken.
 
No predictions but I'm excited about the draft. Here is a list of recent top 20 Cowboys draft picks.

2025 Tyler Booker pick 12
2021 Micah Parsons pick 12
2020 CeeDee Lamb pick 17
2018 Leighton Vander Esch pick 19
2016 Ezekiel Elliot Pick 4
2014 Zack Martin pick 16

They are all studs, outside Lve whose career was derailed due to injuries.
 
Stephen recently talked about moving up and down so I hope trade backs are in play.

Fowler also mentioned Dallas as a good trade back team at 20.
 
I wish I could get excited this year about the draft ........... the fact that it has become a show pushing agendas instead of about real football makes me not watch it any more ....... I watch podcasts that do not show the actual draft and talk football.

Oh relax, it's a bunch of colors, life goes on

Trading back maximizes those 2 picks, wouldn't mind a trade up to 9 if it meant we got an impact defender.
 
A few guys here are going to freak out if it is Faulk at 12, LOL :laugh:
 
Someone should piss off, and maybe it's the guy with his panties in a twist over some colors he doesn't like on a logo that isn't his
I did not quote you out of nowhere and get on a soapbox like you did ....... I simply stated how I fell about it.

So again ....... piss off ....... you obviously like when the NFL does things that have nothing to do with football
