Twitter: Mortensen: Jerry Jones infatuated with Pitts

[john van brocklin]

Like Lamb did last year. There we were last year minding our own business expecting to take Chaisson, and who should fall in our lap but Lamb? Oh, and causing Eagles fans to lose their minds to boot? *chef kiss* Magnificat!

If Pitts is not there, trade down?

 

[john van brocklin]

We didn't have a 1st that year because we used it in the trade for Cooper. In effect, Hill was our first pick that draft, and Hill was known to be who our FO wanted. That was mainly a Marinelli idea, but Catch is actually right in what he said about Hill.

Hill looked much better last year before he got hurt.

Depends on who is there and what offers we receive. If we do not get a good offer and Pitts, Surtain, Sewell, and Slater aren't there, then I think our best choices are Barmore, Horn, Parsons (if available), Moehrig, and maybe Collisn from Tulsa. I'd like Parsons the best of that group because he fits the LB need the most. If he's unavailable, then I'd go either Barmore or Horn. Horn would be great, but this draft is loaded with a lot of excellent CB options including Adebo who we can get between rounds 2-4. Moehrig would be my other favourite option, unless we get Grant at 44. If we do, then Barmore is my choice because of the sheer lack of DTs. Moehrig, otherise, is my choice followed by McNeil, Davis/Adebo, and Schwartz (WR Auburn).

He did, and I hope that he continues to improve this year. That would be a bonus for us.

I like the idea of a trade down if value is not available

Yep, you can't judge a player off just there first year.

I'd prefer a trade down as well. However, the offer has to also match the value of a 10th overall pick.

With a trade down you get more chances to hit on a productive player

I have no problem with pitts at 10. Dominant TE can turn this offense from very good into potentially being right below KC in terms of scoring potential.

Then you draft all defense after. Take the bpa in my opinion.

Agreed, players take time to develop.

Yes, I did not like our trade down with San Francisco a few years back traded back a lot for a 3rd. Yuck

I agree, but, if someone is offering a 1st and a 7th for our 10th, there's no way I take the offer. If, let's say, the Bears offer their 1, 3, 5 this year and a 1 next year, I'm taking that every time for our 10 and saying thank you.

Exactly , some take longer to mature

I agree, though, in round 4, even with Pitts, I'd have a hard time passing on Schwartz.

Not only that, but become capable of handling the difficulty of the NFL. There's a big difference between NFL Football and College Football in terms of the skill.

Hope we get fair and decent offers

Time to bulk up too

Time needed to get coached up too

Same, that's what we need. Fair offers for our pick. Sufficient compensation that it would normally take to make that sort of move AND for the player in question.

Time to bulk up too

Bulk up, maturity, have the body healthy enough to withstand the practices in the NFL.
