Twitter: Fish: Cowboys tried to trade Jaylon Smith in a trade up for 6 overall

[kskboys]

maxwell had the highest cb salary at the time and was getting torched regularly, and universally deemed an unmovable contract

Ouch, just looked it up. They traded Maxwell n Alonso for a 1st. At least Alonso played well!!!!

Dumb trades such as this are generally made by young dumb coaches, Adam Gase in this case. Ick.

 

[kskboys]

You cant possibly believe that it was only Jaylon we were offering in a trade. Im sure Jaylon was just a throw in.

That would make sense, but we'd have had to offer something good, such as an extra 2nd to move from 10 to 6.

 

[waving monkey]

I'm glad smith sucks and we got parsons.

plus we'd have missed on Diggs

 

[kskboys]

You would think they'd learn their lesson from the last time they traded up for DB in the 1rst round (not that Suratian is like Claiborne)

Surtain is a nice player, but no way was he worth a trade up.

 

[kskboys]

disagree

you need to hear it more??

give it up..i dont luv the move and not defending smith but don't like the business part of the move..

sorry i ruined your morning but not agreeing with you , iut will happen more often then you think..

im not the sheep here..

You're not, you're worse than the sheep. You're the little dude who goes around insulting just because you get your little numnums aroaring. You are Rockport lite.

My morning is excellent, BTW. There you go misinterpreting a situation again. That seems to be all you are good at.

 

[Denim Chicken]

inactive yes, cut NO!

I don't think having a high profile player inactive for the season would have been a very savvy move.

Yup, that would make zero sense.

It was simply time to move on. Not complicated.

If true this could be something worth a Celebration Dance

Go away kid. You're making yourself look foolish.

Both thirds per chart. 2nd would be too high. 2nd rounder would have been 160 points over. Equal to a 3rd round pick. Teams very very rarely diverge from chart value. @DFWJC did a pretty comprehensive a study on that.

Jaylon had minimal value. Pick 75(215) and 99(104) would have been was too high for us. I'm guess they wanted him to trade him to make up the difference in a trade with 75(215) and 115(64). The value difference between 6 and 10 was 300 points

Or Dat Ngyen. lol

I am glad you got the inside joke that has been running on this board for years.

 

[Beaker42]

Smells Fishy. Not even this front office is stupid enough to think Jaylon was enough to move you up from #10 to #6. Cutting him after 4 games suggests he wouldn't have been enough to move up from the 7th round to the 6th.

LMAO at this info - we couldn’t have gotten a UDFA for his sorry ***.

Was always partial to Scott Fujita LOL

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Says a lot that there are 31 other teams in the NFL and none of them would even be willing to give up a 6 overall to get him. The Cowboys made the right decision in cutting him and it's time to give the younger defenders more playing time and a chance to prove themselves.

Sometimes you get lucky, Horn/Surtain are good prospects, but don't think either have that elite potential Parsons has.

Parsons is a generational talent.

If all prospects from the past 5 drafts were in the next draft, Horn/Surtain wouldn't be in the top 5 CBs drafted.

Sometimes you get lucky, Horn/Surtain are good prospects, but don't think either have that elite potential Parsons has.

Surtain and Horn were ranked as the top two CBs leading into the draft - but Parsons was rated as the best defensive player overall.

 

[Motorola]

And just think, we could have easily had Paxton Lynch

Thank the Seahawks and Broncos. Dallas offered their 2016 2nd and 4th round picks for Seattle's 1st/26th overall, but they didn't bite; then Denver stepped up and offered their 1st /31st overall plus their 3rd round selection.

A couple of Sausage McGriddles would have gotten it done!

I love those things...
