I don't understand why posters can't just roll with the thread topic. Of course, we can't change the draft. But the OP simply asked how would we redraft. What's so hard about answer the question or refraining?
Is it really honest? The hardest part of doing a redraft is that you know exactly when every player was taken. So, for example, you can afford to not take a corner in the second round because you know Adebo will be available with our third-round pick. Redos are easier because of that. For what it's worth, I would have traded with Chicago (like the Giants did), and because of that I assume the compensation would have been the same (20th, 164th, 2022 1st, 2022 4th ,,, maybe because our pick was higher, we would have gotten more, but I don't know that and the value the Bears gave the Giants more than covered the difference). Then, I would have taken Barmore at 20. Knowing what I know now, it would not have been necessary to take him with that pick.
If you go back in the past... the present day you left from becomes your past. And that past that you've traveled to then becomes your present day. And you can't change your past (that you traveled from) when you're in your present day (that you traveled too). Smart Hulk said that.
That’s that’s why I still selected guys where I had them originally and told others to be honest, but you know most can’t. In all honesty I would’ve traded up twice in the early second to get Barmore and one of the top 3 safeties. So basically I woulda came away with parsons Barmore Holland/mohrig and would try and package to come up again in the 3rd to get adebo leaving not much left for the later rounds but I’m bigger on quality than quantity
Good fun. But we all know this is impossible, as we wouldn't know how long each player would last until after the act.
Taking players earlier than where they were drafted is fair, and I think you are trying to be honest with your redo, but it's really difficult to be completely honest. During the draft, you wouldn't know if Barmore or Holland or Moehrig was going to drop to your pick. At what point would you have traded up to get them? Would you have traded up into the first for Moehrig since you don't know if he would make it to the second? Same with Barmore? Or would your plan been to only trade up if one of them made it to the second? Those are things that have to be figured out independent of where the players were taken to have a true, honest redo.
Probably should have a running thread during the draft where you make the pick while the Cowboys are on the clock. That would have everyone's picks are on record in one place and it's not a hindsight redo.
LOL........leave it to the king homer to love EVERY pick!!! Was there ANY draft pick you didnt like? Hilarious.
Notice I took him at 84 and not 75. The fact is, when you look at who is available at 84, without taking into consideration when other players were taken after the Cowboys pick, Osa is probably the best defensive player on the board at that point. Since I took Slater as 12, it would have been too soon to look at offensive line, or a player like Ben Cleveland who I think is a beast. They could replace Connor Williams with Cleveland and gain strength at the point of attack but lose some blocking ability as a pulling guard. I suppose Browning could have been the pick there, but I took Surratt earlier and I have a target on Derrick Barnes in the 4th or 5th round. I never expected him to go early in the 4th but apparently Detroit loved him too. For me, the problem in the 3rd was McNeill and Milton Williams getting taken ahead of the 75th pick. That was a bummer.
