Over Hyped TC players? Tradable players?

Draft: 2012 6th round (16th pick)

Wouldn't be any kind of surprise to me if the Cowboys moved on either.


If Hanna is healthy, I would be shocked if they cut him. He may become the official number 1 tight end within the next year.

Yes, it is true that we have received picks for players more frequently than a player for player trade, but the cuts are different this year so that could alter things a bit. We have one of the deeper rosters in the league and we can only keep 53. We, the rich, might just get a little bit richer.

True but other teams also understand that Dallas just like everyone else must cut down from 80 to 53. If I had to take a guess there will be no significant trades, maybe a RB but it would not be much in return at most a draft pick. I think part of putting a roster together is not just the starters but quality backup where you can.

I really doubt that Dallas gets anything for Morris. I just don't see it happening. I would not be surprised for us to get a pick for an offensive lineman, or a DB though.

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 don't think trades are doable with this team.

Like with last year's secondary...

they would prefer to replace with rookies.

Last year..that was great.

But this team did nothing in FA and won't.

Nobody is going to give us anything for trades.

Dead end there.

I'm riding w/my pet cat Rico. Delusional maybe. So we carry 4 TE?
I did see us going long at DL also even 11 but with the the future of Wilson undecided maybe not 11 on DL
I dont see Brown leaving young,good and cheap.
Scandrick I have to see in TC. He's veteran and good.
Maybe lighting strikes twice in back to back drafts and we have rookie DB stars being born?
I will shoot someone if we carry 4 TE's. That said, I am cautiously hopeful for Gathers.

Injuries happen, so some team may need a player. As we did with QB's a few years back. I was not saying we have players that people would want outright, but if some team needs a players for a late round pick, one may be there...IF...our depth is what we think it is. And we will not know that until TC.

We do not need to trade for any players. and most likely won't.
