Graham Barton or Tyler Guyton and a 3rd round pick?

[baltcowboy]

Guyton and the 3rd. I actually think the Cowboys thought Barton would fall to them but Tampa surprised them.

 

[Doomsday]

I like Guyton's upside and adding pick 73 could be huge if they can make it count.

Is Tyler Guyton and a 3rd this year better than Graham Barton and a 7th next year?

Which would you have done?

I favor the trade only because I’m not a scout and the value chart favors the picks we received.

There is no way we will ever know until they lace up the cleats and play.

100% true. Nothing is guaranteed and anything can happen. I hope he goes out and kills it from day 1.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

We need more players in a bad way. I'll take an extra 3rd with the chance the can contribute right away.

Exactly, I think the correct decision was made. Guyton and an early 3rd round pick is a very helpful pick.

Yes - it’s better. Makes the Steele extension look ****** stupid.

Barton would have been my pick, I think the C position is very undervalued in todays game.

I'm OK with Guyton, hes a solid end of the 1st talent, but I think Barton is a legitimate top 20 talent who is a plug and play starter that fell in our lap

Where does this "best center in the draft" and "plug and Play" come from with Barton?
He played 5 games at center in 2020. LT ever since. His body ype is G or C.

I am sure he is going to be a nice player, just confused as to how he is better than JPJ or Frasier at C.

The 3rd rd pick is the only reason I didn't jump out my window last night. If they took guyton over barton at 24 I woulda went crazy

What floor were You on?

If the no. is higher than 2 You're taking this a bit too seriously.

Guyton and a 3 are good value, but Dallas needs 2 starting Olineman before this year. Barton is a better asset in that regard.

However, if they pick up an iOL today and then sign a LT with starting experience in June/July in case Guyton isn’t NFL ready week 1, then my opinion would flip.

 

[Blitzen]

I think you have to wait and see who they draft with that 3rd round pick first.

Then you compare Guyton PLUS that player against drafting Barton.

My only concern when the Cowboys trade back to gain more picks is they have a history of viewing those new picks as "free option" picks, meaning they can take chances on asterisk players

The irony is Jerry does not get held accountable-no matter if he’s playing with house money or his own. Cause they’re the same thing in his case.

Let’s see what they do with pick before saying it is good or bad!

 

[big dog cowboy]

I voted Barton. IMO, C is an undervalued position

OT is a premium position!

How?

They have an LT with starting experience. His name is Tyler Smith.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Love the trade back but Guyton is closer to bust than all pro.

Don't agree. Per his NFL draft profile, he has the measurables you want - size, strength, foot movement, etc. He does have some technique issues but what no. 29 pick doesn't? Even Tyron Smith didn't make the Pro Bowl until his 3rd year.

I'd put him more likely to be All Pro....

If Smith moves over to LT, what does Guyton play?

Which would you have done?

No question: Barton. You can keep the 7th next year also.

 

[gimmesix]

If Smith moves over to LT, what does Guyton play?

The only way Smith moves to LT is if Guyton isn't ready to handle it. If he's not ready to handle it, then he plays swing tackle. Bass would be the starting LG and Smith would be the starting LT. The other option would be Richards at LT and keeping Smith at LG. But there are options if Guyton isn't ready to go.

As I've said before, I'm more concerned about C, where there currently are no options if Hoffman fails. If we get someone today like Frazier or JPJ or Puni, that increases the options for that whole group on the left side.

The technique issues he has arent compareable to other picks. He is very raw and seems to be a mental midget. He is more of a project. You dont draft such players with your first rounder .especially if you are in need of so many players.

We already invested high in a LT 2 years ago. You now have to degrade one to guard. Guard is the least important position on the OL. You can draft those in the third round. No need to invest so many resources in that position.

That is just bad drafting not being able to find our future LT with one premium pick.
