Twitter: Fish: Cowboys tried to trade up as high as 6

[Hawkeye0202]

I know, but he's quoting Stephen........

But something's off ........we've heard Parson was their guy at 10. I suppose it could be he was their 3rd after Horn and/or Surtain. The only question, if you thought enough to of them to move to 6, then why not 7, 8, or 9?

Yet they moved up much further to get Mo Clai.

Fish is the biggest hack in sports media

I don’t think that’s what he meant by that statement, but maybe I’m wrong.

I'm glad we didn't trade up. We need quantity as well as quality. The draft is a gamble on every player. I'd rather gamble with 11 picks than 5 or 6.

11 new players vs 5 or 6 new players. I'll take 11 new guys and who knows how they'll develop

 

[EMMITTnROY]

I'd rather have Parsons than Surtain or Horn anyways. Plus we got a 3rd. Can't imagine giving up picks to get Surtain or Horn.

Love He Confirmed, to a degree lol

Parsons > Surtain.

We got the best linebacker in the past three years and we have a DC that knows how to make them scary good. Our defense just went from okay, to great immediately. Cornerbacks can play scheme and be successful as long as you have linebackers these good. It's like Bill Parcells used to say, "I love linebackers, I love to collect them." Well we just got the best and BP would love him.

I call BS on this. Dallas waited to see how things fell. Give them credit for not making a panic move.
Jerry even said, they had talks with Philly for the last few days about this trade. Depending what players were there, or not there, for each team.

It could have been for Sewell

We can still use another LB. I am not sold on Gifford and Bernard as depth. Werner or Browning or both would be great. Add a CB and S and DT as well.

 

[Teague31]

Every team makes calls to get the lay of the land. The fact that Fish sells this as “exclusive” is disgusting

 

[chicago JK]

Moving up for either corner would have been a massive mistake.

If the Corners were their main targets at 10, this front office did a disservice with all their talking pre draft. Both went before 10, but they had Big red blinking CB on both of their foreheads.

I want to believe they were ok with either CB at 10, but were playing other teams and were also trying to see if they could move back and add a pick. But then I realize who I am talking about.

So I am glad they didn't move up. We will see if they are right on Parsons. A few stud DT and a good safety and CB would help. This defense still needs a lot of help.

 

[NorthTexan95]

I'm sure they made calls about moving up but quickly decided not to due to the price. Thank goodness they didn't replicate the Mo Claiborne mistake.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

They were just starting their eyes and crossing their t's. No story.

Stephen A smith. Not even because of his hatred of the Cowboys.

What he said about Kawhi and Canada should have gotten him fired.

Seems like a good reason to NOT do it again, although they obviously considered it.

I like both Horn and Surtain alot, but that is a move I make for a Denzel Ward or Jaylon Ramsey level prospect. Horn and Surtain arent in that tier

 

[McKDaddy]

why would you try to move up in this draft if your primary needs are defensive? & why would you have to call to know the price? you would know the approximate price without a call. the only question would be is whether the team would be willing.
Geez, this team can create some of the craziest narratives.

It sounds like they inquired about it, which is always a good idea.
Fishes mistake is thinking it was for Parsons...or the CBs

I feel sure it was to get ahead of Detroit to land Sewell.
