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.
