Fish: Cowboys plan trade for best player in draft. Kayvon Thibodeaux?

[beware_d-ware]

Kayvon's a massive talent, but trading up for him puts too many eggs in one basket. We're basically betting 4 or 5 other players on one pair of ACLs.

Can you remember the players that Cleveland ended up drafting? The Browns were such a dumpster fire back then. They would always have two draft choices and blow both of them.

Oh, you have no idea.

With the 2011 picks from Atlanta, they took:
21: Phil Taylor, DT: played 44 games, career over after 2014
59: Greg Little, WR: 48 games, waived in 2014
124: Owen Marecic, FB: 24 games, career ended in 2013

Oh, you thought that was bad? Just wait.

With the 2012 picks from Atlanta, they took:
22: Brandon Weeden. Yeah.
118: They used it to move up from 4 to 3 and pick...wait for it...Trent Richardson

Oh, you thought it couldn't get worse?

Somehow, Cleveland managed to get the Colts to take Richardson off their hands for another 1st-rounder, #26 in 2014. They used that one to trade up to #22, and they used that pick on...drumroll please...

Johnny Manziel.

Fish is back spreading more "Breaking News" from an "inside source" who says the Cowboys are seriously considering trading up to get what they feel is the best player in the draft: Edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux.



Can you imagine what it would cost the Cowboys to trade up from their #24 spot all the way into the top 5 spots to get Kayvon Thibodeaux? Or even to trade for him once he's picked by another team drafting in the top 5? Would Thibodeaux be worth such a cost?

What say you?

I wanted the cowboys to trade Cooper to the jets for 10 and our 24th plus Cooper. Instead. You know what happened
