Draft Is Set-Up Perfectly For Us To Trade Down

[817Gill]

The more I see how our needs stack up with the board and who should be left at 26 BPA-wise the more it makes sense to trade down.

Unless a premier guy drops like Ceedee did in 2020, this thing is set up perfectly for us to benefit greatly from an extra 2nd or 3rd.

In terms of need, the likely available DT’s and OG’s at 26 like Mazi and Avila can be had at the top of round 2 or very end of 1. Also in rounds 2/3, the value at TE and RB will be extremely high granted the Bijan’s and Kincaid/Meyers of the world are gone before 26.

Would love to come out of this draft with 4 picks in the top 3 rounds. If things fall our way we could walk away with a DT, OL, TE, and RB all at ridiculous value. I’m team trade down unless a blue-chipper falls.

I wouldnt mind trading down a little and getting Gibbs, JMS, or McDonald

That is the exactly point I make in my draft pick value thread. Moving down 6-8 spots would land a pick in the 90's. There will be many good players still on the board then. Or use that pick to move up and get a better player you like that fits and happens to be dropping.

Agreed, but trading down is very hard to do. A lot of teams will have the same idea.

I’m cool trading down unless a stud is available.

I feel pretty confident there is going to be a really good WR / DE / CB available at 26.

I like your Strategy

Yep, why reach when you can get an extra pick?

Gonna to start barfing every time I read about someone wanting Mazi in the first two rounds….I’m totally on board with improving the DT position but hardly anyone in this draft is inspiring, esp Mazi. He looks like a fourth round pick to me, not a first or second.

I do agree this looks like a trade down draft but we still need playmakers….RB, WR, at worst though a plug and play OG.

 

[Hardline]

I'm 99% sure all my targets will be off the board at 26.
At that point I'm all in for a trade down.

 

[McKDaddy]

Right now I would put the odds at 80% the board would fit a trade down when we get to 26.

However, I am getting the sense that there could be some "fallers", thus I have raised those odds to 20%.

 

[baltcowboy]

The Cowboys have many needs. I could see a small trade down for a 3rd round pick. I just don’t see them trading out of the 1st though. They want that 5th year option.

McDonald would be lucky to be at 26. If he's there we won't get lucky like we did with micah trading down.

What player would a team trade up to get that Cowboys wouldn't just draft for themselves?

[HellCrowe]

The boys want that 5th year option. With the way the fo works and the way they like these contracts, I don’t expect them to drop out of the 1st. Bet they would’ve loved that 5th year option on Diggs.

 

[Sandyf]

Things should get interesting in this draft starting with Arizona. Thinking 5 QBs go before end of 1st and maybe 6. Most sites agree on 15 to 18 true 1st round guys and only 2 qbs made that list. The thing is some guy or guys are going to fall and question will be if one of those are who Boys believe are ranked that high. How much they are offered for 26 will go along way with what they do.

What player would a team trade up to get that Cowboys wouldn't just draft for themselves?

Hooker.

Hooker…,,

 

[xwalker]

Hooker.

Teams picking after the Cowboys in the 1st:
Bills
Bengals
Saints (Carr just signed 150M contract.)
Eagles
Chiefs

I don't think any of those teams will be drafting a QB in the 1st. A team wanting Hooker could trade with KC...
