Peter King: Chart of number of draft-weekend trades by team... Dallas #1

[WoodysGirl]

Stat of the Week

This isn't gospel, but it may give you an idea if your team is going to be very active on the trade front this weekend. It's a chart of the number of draft-weekend trades the teams have made in the last five years, and the moral of the story is pretty simple: Don't expect Cincinnati and Arizona to be very fluid.

Get it done Jerry!:starspin

 

[Chief]

"Have I got a deal for you ..."

 

[popcorn]

There's no ryme or reason for success or failure, with that list.

 

[THUMPER]

The ryme of the ancient mariner.

 

[arglebargle]

Doesn't take into account changes in management at the various teams either.

Is the new KC GM going to behave like the old one? Or like New England? Etc.

Interesting to see, anyway, though it doesn't seem to show any pattern.

 

[jterrell]

looks like detroit and cleveland like to move up.

ironically both are under new mgmt.

a few times we have moved down and then back up but are more likely to move down than to take a player we dont love.

iron maiden reference?

 

[dbair1967]

no doubt in my mind we'll be adding to both totals for us on that list this weekend

Bill Parcells will also be adding to his trade total, which he did a lot of while in Dallas.

 

[DFWJC]

Interesting.

Also, teams like KC may be more active now that they have a new GM...and his previous local was aplace that was active.

New GM in Detroit...and he HAS to be better than the previous one.

 

[FCBarca]

Well, we all know we can pretty much bank on Jerry making a trade...It's been a while since a blockbuster has gone down but it wouldn't be a Cowboy draft without Jerry making a trade

 

[CATCH17]

Well, we all know we can pretty much bank on Jerry making a trade...It's been a while since a blockbuster has gone down but it wouldn't be a Cowboy draft without Jerry making a trade

And this time it looks like we will be trading UP because we have so many picks.

 

[STAR GAZER]

And this time it looks like we will be trading UP because we have so many picks.

And I hope the trades up will get us some OL prospects that can make an immediate impact.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Just be glad the war room doesn't have a camera for other teams to see...

 

[bsheeern]

Wheres the guy that jumped my stuff for suggesting we do some big time moving on draft day.
