Over Hyped TC players? Tradable players?

[JoeyBoy718]

We should pull a Herschel Walker-like trade while Tapper's value is still high.

It's the time of year we all go into TC with rose colored glasses for the most part. Yet realistic on some players and areas.
So who are the hyped up players that may or may not pan out, and who are possible trade bait types.
But there is nothing wrong with hyping up our own players, even though we know that some will not pan out.

We keep hearing about Rico Gathers, so do you truly believe he will be on the 53, and if he really shows he can play, will Hanna be up for a possible trade, and would other teams want him?

How about Morris, or even McFadden, would some team that has injuries be interested. Though I believe McFadden stays as the #2 RB regardless.
DL, supposedly there is a glut here and some hard choices to make. But is it really all that deep? Irving is suspended, as well as Gregory. But still after that how much depth is there.
Is Paea and Moore that good to be what we want. Carrell, Ivy, they are being hyped by some, but need to see it. I still be PS guys there. Tapper, need to see him also. so to me there are 6 DL that would be the locks...Crawford, Thornton, Mayowa, Collins, Lawrence, Charlton. But what if this guys do look great and we have 11 DL, which one could be traded, if any, other than the 6 plus Irving could be good enough to get a 6th or 7th rounder from.

LB's, well, with Wilson probably out for 6 games, we may be needing to trade for LB's.

DB's, if all pan out, there could be a few trade possibilities there, if they are as good as we hype them up to be. I doubt Scandrick is traded, we need some vet players still. But we would have Carroll and 2nd year player in Brown.

OL, we need all of them we can keep, and the top 9 we all know, and I doubt any others on the rosters aren't anymore than PS guys anyway.

I think in reality, we could have 3 to 4 tradable players if all goes well, but nothing higher than a 6th.
Players like Hanna, Scandrick, one of the DL and another DL or DB, or Morris, but doubt that too.

Who are your over hyped players and tradable players?

I know we've been building through the draft the last few years, but if we can get a top flight pass rusher or DB, i wouldn't be opposed to trading a high pick or two. We cannot afford to have another subpar year following a great year like the pattern has been. We need to take advantage of this offense. We also still need a top backup at QB. We'll probably wait til people start getting cut for that one.

really dont see a need for 2 slot receivers and his value will probably never be higher. If Switzer does impress in pre-season sitting him is also a waste. Why not have Switzer replace him and use Beasleys value for a need position. Who do u see with value that will get us anything?

Short-term, Switzer is a replacement for Lucky, not Beasley.

It *would* be tough to stop, though.

Hence, the entire reason to cheat.

I can't answer that because I don't see trades happening. Period. Much less anything that would garner anything more than another camp body or mid tier draft pick at best. Just doesn't happen.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Camp has not started so no one has beaten anyone out as of yet. It may be true in the end but as of now that is just an opinion.
As far as beating out Cole he may there is no way of telling. I like Switzer he has shown some promise in OTA but he has not played a single down of NFL football the other guys we have mentioned have. I hope the best for Switzer but he has to prove it and OTA is not proving it nor is what a person did in college. There is a big difference between organized practice and actually getting on the field in live action.

When camp opens and Switzer is ahead of Lucky I won't say I told you so

 

[big dog cowboy]

Dallas would be fools to trade Switzer........unless we are getting 5 first round picks, Aaron Donald, Amari Cooper and J.J Watt

 

[Verdict]

How many trades are there in the NFL every year on average?

I would think that we trade at least one player prior to the cut to 53. Some areas of the team have too many numbers and some areas are thin on talent. I could see us trading a fringe player at one position for a fringe player at another position. It's fairly common.

 

[Verdict]

Hanna will be on the field unless he really can't play. It appears he will be ready. We don't have another in line blocker as good. Swaim is next. Rico is a wild card right now and can't be depended on to block. Let's see a full TC from him before we depend on him for anything. I am excited about his potential though. I think he eventually makes it onto the field either as Witten's replacement. Until then he'll have to be a backup as any other TE would be. I think they should work to get Witten off the field a bit more but not until they have someone to push his pass catching ability.

Quite honestly if Hanna is healthy he is the best overall tight end on the roster. He isn't as savvy as Witten, or possibly as sure handed catching the ball but he is clearly better at all other phases of the game at less than half the cap hit.

You might be right but I can't overlook the offensive side of Witten's game that much. But he's clearly the #2 TE on the roster when healthy.

 

[AbeBeta]

Yea, I think the ideal situation is to stash away Hannah to the PUP and start the season with three TEs. He can be an insurance policy in case of an injury or if Rico falters.

Stash him? If he's not ready, he's done.

Wake up to reality.

 

[Toro9]

Over-hyped players?

Potentially Jonathan Cooper. I keep hearing he was drafted so high because of his athletic ability, but now with the injuries that he is limited in that way. I'd love to see him be a plug-and-play guy at LG but I have my questions about it. I'll be interested to see how he does in camp.

As far as trades go, I can't remember the last time the Cowboys traded a player out but they have been known to use late-round draft picks to bring guys in. I could see that happening for a LB if they don't bring in Darryl Washington.

 

[Toro9]

Not sure why you say that. Sarcasm? The Cowboys seem to start every season with someone on PUP.

Wake up to reality.

Isn't that what we did with McFadden last season? IIRC, he was medically cleared to rejoin the team much sooner than he did.

 

[Satchel89]

Switzer. People keep saying HOF but as of now he's only an All Pro

I'm with you. I think he'll be good and I'm excited to see him but let's see the guy play a couple of downs before we put him in the Pro Bowl.

He may be but thus far the Cowboys have not said anything about who is starting. People have opinions, you have an opinion and I would not be shocked if in the end Switzer does win the job but right now he has not beaten anyone out. He has much to prove and while I have high hope for him I am not going to start claiming he greatness because of some OTA workouts. He has to show he can take the hits in the NFL that he can handle the ball as guys are ripping at the ball. Too many highly regarded college players have failed for anyone to claim a rookie is coming in and will stake claim to a starting role

More common that you get a draft pick as opposed to an active player. Every team knows all others must go from 80 to 53 players and there will be prospects claimed as they are released.

You have no idea who has beat who out. Just because you haven't heard doesn't mean you know

Nor do you and I'm not the one making claims . You are giving an opinion and claiming it as a fact. Sorry your fact is just your opinion that is fine but don't pawn it as fact. I'm not against Switzer at all or even Whitehead, I expect guys to go out and earn jobs.
