Anybody got a feeling Jerry is working on a plan to reaquire that pick. Strange because if they go Jason Smith at #1, Detroit still needs a QB at 20, Freeman should be there.

No point in moving into the first round. Cost vs value just isn't there.

Based on draft value charts. I know there is a lot of flexibility with teams and they don't simply go by the chart, but just to get a feel of what that pick is worth........

#20 is worth 850

Here are the values of current Cowboys (not including comps) picks

#51---390
#69---245
#101---96
#117---60
#156---29
#166---25
#197---12.6
#210----7.4
#227--??

They add up to 775 points. We would have to give up a quality player or a couple of average players to do that. Even if Jerry did, who is at that spot that would be worth the cost?

We talking real lions or the NFL team? Both would be unpleasant.

Detroit is looking to stockpile picks and since no one will move up to #1, this is probably the next best option.

at least real lions will kill you afterwards, so the pain will only last a few seconds...

Roy Williams
Like the previous poster said too early. Giving up a 1st rounder in the 20's guarantees nothing for Detroit. We have what 11 total picks in the draft. We're fine.

They could, but I think they go with Stafford at #1. If so, the top 4 OL guys may (will?) be gone at 20, but one from the next tier could still be there later.

that's true, but trading w/ Detroit again to recoup the 1st will be rape
I don't get this either. You're saying to recoup the 1st round pick in addition to Roy Williams would be rape. I assume you mean the Lions would be the recipient.

Detroit could end up with Stafford and Michael Oher, that would be a pretty good 1st round
