PFW Edholm: Trade question re: Dallas and Oakland *Merge*

[WoodysGirl]

Of Dallas' two first-round picks, if they wanted to trade up in the first round for (Darren) McFadden without adding other picks, what would be a fair trade with the Raiders’ (fourth overall) pick (in exchange) for the Cowboys’ two picks plus more? I was thinking the two first-rounders this year and a second next year.

Keith,
With the strong desire of teams holding top-10 picks to move down, which has been created by the skewed rookie wage scale, trade demands have lessened from what they once were. The Cowboys might be able to move up to the Raiders’ slot if they were to exchange both of their first-round picks and a fourth-rounder. What had initially been discussed, at least in league circles, was that the Cowboys would give up a first-rounder this year, a first-rounder next year and Marion Barber in exchange for the fourth overall selection, which should be able to land McFadden. Discussions have also been made about the Cowboys sending Bobby Carpenter and Marcus Spears — two disappointing Parcells-endorsed picks now on the trading block, the Cowboys’ first two picks and potentially a pick next year in exchange for Raiders CB Fabian Washington and the fourth overall pick. However, at this point, I would be surprised to see a deal struck between the two teams.

[Dallas]

I like Marcus Spears. I think he is finally turning the corner and being the big beefy end that we wanted him to be in our 3-4.

The guy is solid. I wish some would allow him to play and bring his pail to work.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Good find. Intereting read.

 

[Thick 'N Hearty]

Way too much for one player. This draft is too deep at the RB position to break the bank on one of them. I would rather see the Boys hold their ground and take Chris Johnson. Dude is insane!

Thanks for the article WG! Wow, this could be a powder keg for us Pro-Dmc people! I like the second possibility better.....

 

[CrazyCowboy]

wow....that will make you think

 

[THUMPER]

Any trade scenario which includes us giving up Marion Barber would be foolish.

Forget McFadden, he isn't coming to Dallas unless he drops past #10.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I am very surprised we never signed a FA corner...

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Anything can happen come draft weekend. Let's just hope it is a good thing for us. Trading up for an impact player can't be seen as a bad thing at any time. Now if we could end up with Fabian, DMac, and Pacman, omg.

and should this NOT fall as you hope and dream, you gonna come back with your own helping of crow?

 

[iceberg]

I am very surprised we never signed a FA corner...

did you want hall or samual to line up next to newman? i mean, we've got $20+mil to put in 2 cb's. : )

would have been nice but we just can't put that kind of cash into 1 position i don't think.

 

[Rampage]

of course. hope you will if the right situation happens

No no, I was thinking of just a cheap journeyman type... Like a Randall Gay or a Fernando Bryant. Just someone with some experience to play some nickel so you don't necessarily have to depend on a rookie.

 

[iceberg]

i'll slap some ketchup on it and call it the best date i've had this month. : )

ah - gotcha. we lost reeves and that jones dude, but 4th and 5th - we can see what ball has to offer and another draft pick, replaced. i just wonder how much difference in talent 3rd - 5th string CBs really are from team to team.

This proposition is THAT bad at all. At least we'll get a good CB in return as well.

I don't like any of these deals.

 

[Reality]

I wouldn't even trade MB3 for the 4th pick directly .. much less with two first round picks thrown in ..
