Eagles trade is on the table

[jnday]

Trump Philly's trade by offering Mo Claiborne straight up for Dion Jordan. Claiborne is a proven starter, which is more than you can say about either Graham or Jordan.

Claiborne is no more if a proven starter than Graham or Jordan. They would be swapping busts.

I haven't given up on Mo, but anything to help the dline I would be in favor of particularly because this draft is loaded at CB. Personal though I prefer Derrick Morgan of the Titans over both Graham and Jordan if the Cowboys were thinking of dealing MC. I don't hate the idea of Graham either, but really can't see any scenario where Cowboys and Eagles trade though and if you like Graham you'll probably be able to get a similar player in the draft- Chris Smith.

Not very high on Jordan's ability to be a 4-3 DE. Maybe he just needs to some time to get stronger, but I'm just not sold.

Claiborne is not a bust .he has yet to play to the level of his draft position.

 

[DEMARC0MURRAY29]

Claiborne is a bust.

Proven starter? He was benched after 4 games last year.

Dion Jordan is being traded because he struggles in a 4-3 he's a 3-4 OLB, trading him for Claiborne would be a joke.

 

[Hardline]

Claiborne is a bust.

So you have the ability to foresee the future? He may not have played to expectations but that does not mean he is a bust as of yet. Look up Darrell Revis stats for his first few years in the league.

Jordan's best strength right now is to play OLB on first & second downs and rush passer on third or obvious passing downs like Van Miller in Denver or like Julian Peterson was used. Both Miller and Peterson excelled in 4-3 defenses.

Jordan May end up like Manny Lawson instead of Michael Johnson.

The first rd isn't Dallas' problem.

Also not their specialty..the 1st rd.

Bobby Carpenter..

Felix Jones

Roy Wiiliams

Terrance Newman

and others who were oversold and underachieved..

The first round has been crowded with more failure than success.

so it's like that out there. it's not the cowboys suck. it's not that jones can't pick talent, it's not what most "realists" say it is. it's life in the nfl.

Ummm..

Well if all the teams are so similar..

Why have we won 1 playoff game in the last 17 yrs.?

I understand what you are saying..

..parody is here.

But in the salary cap era and FA...

..we have done nothing but sink into a moras of mediocre play.

I'd be interested in seeing what other teams rank with our W-L and playoff appearances over the same time.

We are certainly near the top of any list for futility.
