Draft Strategy and Cap Implications?

[Verdict]

How many of you would advocate getting as many picks as possible between 25 and 50, at the expense of a blue chip player? The salary cap implications have to be considered as would the 5th year option for first round players.


How many of you would trade all the way out of the first round if the Cowboys receive an offer they can’t refuse?

It's a good thought. But the Cowboys will already have 9-10 picks when the comps are awarded. They also like to bring in a good group of FAs. I don't think they will want to make 12-13 picks.

I would think any move down will be pretty modest. Sitting at 10, they will probably be able to pick someone with a top-first grade. They might get one at, say, 15. Probably not lower.

We need real talent not numbers
Get as many really good players as you can
I’d rather have 5 really good players than 10 avg
Fill in the rest of the holes with a couple of good FA and fill out the depth with UDFA

I feel like the sweet spot of drafts now with this ridiculous cba is the 2nd round. I would trade out of the first for a couple 2nds and maybe next years 2nd as well.

0% I slide out of the 1st

100% ok sliding down later and drafting Horn or JOK
