Say Earl Thomas is on the board at pick #21...

[TwoCentPlain]

Cinci is on the clock. Would you offer the 27th pick and Martellus Bennett to Cinci to slide up to the #21 spot and take S Earl Thomas?

Would Cinci take it? They would get the TE they wanted/need and could grab a safety later with the 27th pick, Nate Allen or Taylor Mays.

If you traded Martellus, who would you target later in the draft for a TE? Dorin Dickerson from Pitt in the 2nd/3rd? Gronkowski, if he falls?

Or is it better to keep Bennett, pass on Earl Thomas by not trading up, and take Nate Allen/Mays/etc.?

I'd go for the trade if Cinci was willing.

I actually proposed that in the Mock Draft (I'm pretty sure a few others did too), but who knows what the Cowboys brass would think in that scenario.

 

[JBS]

No, I'd rather deal a 4th.

 

[YosemiteSam]

If I traded to the 21st pick, it would be for Odrick, not Thomas. I would prefer it to be Spears in the trade.

 

[DFWJC]

No, I'd rather deal a 4th.

Who wouldn't...but a 4th wouldn't get it done. Maybe this year's and next years 4th rounders would.

 

[rkell87]

essentially your dealing marty as the 31st pick in the third id rather just give the third

You think everyone just follows that draft chart to a T. That isn't always the way it works. I'd even give up our 3rd before MB.

 

[CATCH17]

Same. Especially since our 4th is basically an early 5th anyways.

 

[Gaede]

Id be all over it

 

[UnoDallas]

for Iupati I would not for Thomas

 

[JustDezIt]

who gonna be pissed if we trade marty and he goes somewhere else and breaks out? I am.

 

[Cowboy Brian]

No

Id give 2010 1st, 2010 4th, 2011 5th to move up those spots though.

or

21st pick and their 3rd round for 27th pick and Marty B.

Absolutely not if I was running things. Bennett is worth more than a late 3rd/early 4th rd pick. I'm sure Cinci would jump all over that deal.

If we did a deal like that they'd need to throw in another pick.
