Rumor: Report: Cowboys 'aggressively' seeking second first-round pick *merged*

[Gryphon]

The NFL Draft for the Dallas Cowboys could get very interesting Thursday night.

The 'Boys own the No. 4 overall pick and appear content with staying put, something owner/GM Jerry Jones announced during a pre-draft press conferece earlier this week. However, the No. 34 overall pick could be used to move up in the draft and according to 105.3 The Fan's Ben Rogers, the 'Boys are looking to acquire a second first-round pick.

Do something to make better use of those extra (garbage) 6th round picks.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

How can they "aggressively" be trying to move back into the first without knowing who will be there where they want to trade up?

I can't see Paxton Lynch getting past the Jets at 20 so I doubt they get him. However, if they can grab Ezekiel Elliott at 4, then trade back and get Sheldon Rankins or even Shaq Lawson (who could slide farther than many think), it'd be a successful draft even if it costs them a 2nd and 4th and maybe a 2017 pick.

Because Jerry isn't afraid to reach/over draft to get a guy he really wants.

Jets supposedly want to trade out and according to Broaddus we were involved in some way. Its an older story so I dont quite remember the details

In a draft where I want to acquire as many picks as possible, it looks like we'll be giving away picks as usual.

 

[HomeBiscuit]

Aggressively looking forward to tomorrow around 830et so I can stop tripping out about all the possibilities we have with the 4 pick.

Okay Jets, we give you picks 34 and 101 and a 2017 second rounder, you give us pick 20 and Muhammed Wilkerson. I'd take the deal!

Well they're now saying Lynch isn't getting passed SF. So he's out of the question.

I'll be glad when the stinkin' draft is over. I'm just sick of speculating and wondering about it.

Sign me up!

Now I'm wondering if Dallas trades down from 4. The Bears "love" Zeke Elliott. If Dallas can get the 11 and 41 picks from Chicago, I would have no problem with them swapping 34 and 67 for another 1st. That's two firsts and they still have a relatively high 2nd.

Maybe the jets will throw in Revis too...

Sheldon Rankins?

 

[canters]

If Lynch is there at the end of round 1, or a pass rusher is there, I have no problem with this.

If you believe Fish, they have no plans on moving down. They are going to let what happens at #3 dictate who they pick. If SD takes Ramseys or trades down and someone takes Ramsey, they are taking Elliott. If Ramsey is there, they take Ramsey

I hope he is wrong because in this draft, if the phone is ringing you need to awnser it

 

[darthseinfeld]

Sheldon Rankins?

From what Ive heard its for a QB

 

[Joe Realist]

2017 mock draft has us taking a WR at 22.

 

[Dwight]

It better be for Lynch.

However, I feel Dallas should entertain the opportunity of trading down with Tennessee (if the Tits want to do that). Acquire more picks and trade down.
