Twitter: Jerry's willing to trade up on draft

[Doomsday101]

Jerry was asked by a reporter if he was willing to trade up and he said yes for the right guy. I'm sorry I don't see anything wrong with this response, he is not saying he will and not saying he won't.

CORRECTION: Jerry said the Cowboys would be 'interested' in possibly trading up in first three rounds.

It is not Jerry, it is the fact that no matter what he says people will find wrong in it. I have disagreed on things this team has done over the years and I have also agreed with things they have done. For many if Jerry says the sun is hot they would be throwing a hissy fit because jerry said it.

After CeeDee fell to us, then Parsons fell to us, I don't see us trading up. Sounds like a bunch of fluff. I think we're more than likely going to trade down.

YES!! He thinks he is the draft guru as those two FELL to us! From my readings, those two were not high on Jerrys' list. Now, Taco and Trysten were however??

If people actually believed that a business announcement was going to help Dallas on the field, then they dont deserve to be helped

This.
"Business" announcement generally means non-football.

Even when they announced the state-of-the-art practice facility, they didn't call it a Business announcement.

He says all kinds of things like the rest of us drink water !!! it flows

 

[pacy]

thats fair. I agree. But this is a bed he made by his own hand. He made it even worse when he said Jimmy J will be inducted into the ring of honor, and DIDNT DO IT. Hard 2 trust him at his word on anything really. He gave the media and fans more ammo. He is sometimes his own worse enemy.

That is possible, Dallas did that last season. He was asked a question and said he would be willing for the right guy, did not say who that could be.

and is wet....

Have to know the context of the quote but I'm sure any GM would say the same on any given year. This isn't exactly groundbreaking.

He never said Jimmy would go in last season, If Jerry does it this year then is everything good? No . People are frustrated I get that but to lose reason or thought and just slam anything he says I think it foolish. As I said there are things he has done I have not agreed with, this off season alone, I think Cowboys could have done more to get in guys like Wagner but to jump on Jerry no matter what he says, says more about the people slamming him than it does on Jerry.

What team isn’t? What a brilliant football mind.

 

[DCBoysfan]

He should be open to all options on draft night. This statement doesn't surprise me.;

 

[ThatJerryKid]

Move this to the draft zone and bench the OP.

 

[Doomsday101]

then the reporter should not have asked the question. Jerry is not out there making these comments, he is being asked by a reporter and said what almost anyone would say, yes they are open to the ideal if the right guy is there. I also would not doubt a trade down. I think all option should be on the table but until draft day none of us know for sure.

Let's follow up no free agents with a small draft class!

Obviously, Dropping down from 24 is not as lucrative as dropping from way up at 10.
Easy to do but not as lucrative.
Each slot down might add an extra 5th in value.

Moving up 2-3 spots is very painless from 24, and remember we have four 5th rounders and our other picks.

However....Moving WAY--say above 18--would be almost out of the question unless we threw in high future picks.
Assume a trade-up is 2-4 spots if the right player is there and the trade partner is willing.
