Should Cowboys trade up to early 2nd round and get DT Christian Barmore?

[RodeoJake]

I'd like to get Barmore. Those Bama DTs seem to do well.

 

[Verdict]

Cowboys current picks (in green) after Day/Round 1:

The Cowboys Defense was very bad last season. Actually, it has been bad for several years now. With as bad as our D-secondary has been in recent years, our run Defense up the middle has been worse.

Antwaun Woods is okay at times playing at 1-tech DT, but he's average at best and only signed through this 2021 season. The rest of the DTs on this team are 3 or 5 tech DTs who show promise at times but struggle to be consistent, hence a big reason why this Cowboys Defense continues to struggle against the run in between the Tackles.

What this Defense needs (and has needed for 10+ years) is a big, tall, nasty, strong and aggressive young 1-tech true Nose Tackle who can line up straight up or in either gap occupying the opposing Center, and help not only plug up the middle against the run but even be aggressive and quick enough to cause some pressure up the middle against opposing QBs.

Alabama monster DT Christian Barmore is still available. He made it out of the 1st round but will likely be taken somewhere between the first 5 picks of the 2nd round.



The Cowboys own the 44th overall pick (the 12th pick in the 2nd round) valued at 460 points on Drafttek's value chart. They were able to pick up via trade the Eagles 84th overall pick (valued at 170 points) in the 3rd round. That gives the Cowboys 3 picks in the 3rd round (75th, 84th & 99th overall).

If the Cowboys were to try to move up from their 44th overall pick (valued at 460 points) in the 2nd round to the very early 2nd round, they could possibly approach the Jets 34th (2nd in 2nd round) overall pick valued at 560 points. That's exactly 100 points of value more than the Cowboys 44th overall pick.

Should the Cowboys offer the Jets their 44th overall pick (460 points) and their late 3rd round 99th overall pick (104 points) to move up to the 34th overall pick (560 points)? The Jets would get an equal value (actually +4 points in trade) to trade down 10 spots to the 44th overall pick while picking up an extra 3rd round pick.

This trade-up move would allow the Cowboys to address their much needed position inside our Dline while still being able to maintain 2 picks in the 3rd round and 2 picks in the 4th round to address other positions of need like CB, FS, O-Tackle, etc.

What say you?

No. Barmore is not the guy.

 

[Verdict]

If the Cowboys are patient there will be a very good player available when they pick in the second round. While some of their targets will probably be off the board, some of them should be available when we pick.

Im still thinking Creed Humphrey could be the pick if he lasts all the way down where we pick.

 

[Sandyf]

There are several guys that could help early in the 2nd from Barmore DT to Moehrig S or JOK LB/S or Holland S or McNeil DT or Campbell CB. Should be an interesting night. Also least we forget, teams that still need WR (plenty of them) and Gallup could be used also to move a third round pick to a second round pick.

 

[Teague31]

I think I’d rather take a chance on Wilson late in the 3rd than move up for this guy.

 

[Flamma]

That doesn't make any more sense than trading with the Giants, other than it would've cost the Bears a little more.

We only see the final result, we don't know who they asked first. They may have asked the Chargers first.

I wouldn't be mad about it, although I do have to wonder why if this guy is such a monster how he made it to the second round in a draft where there are very few defensive line prospects. Also, McNeill may provide more of what we need in a run-stopping DT. We couldn't stop a sneeze up the middle last year.

 

[Walker]

Barmore or Moehrig at this point. We could wait till one goes off the board, then move up for the other.

 

[starfan1]

No. Barmore is not the guy.

I dont think hes a bad player I just think the cowboys view him as a 3 tech and not much else even though he played all of them in college and they have 2 of those already. I think McNeil or Wilson will be the addition

 

[big dog cowboy]

Should Cowboys trade up to early 2nd round and get DT Christian Barmore?

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

Boys should stay put today, too many needs. Tomorrow is the day to move up and get players that fall or even trade down and get higher picks next year.

 

[mardwin]

Barmore and Moehrig probably go one and two today.
Neither are getting within smelling distance to 44.

There will be a run on Lineman and Receivers in round two. Always happens.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Look, watch and get educated. The film doesn't lie. Barmore can play every position on the Dline and dominate as the film shows.



Tired of your BS talk, especially since you're absolutely wrong about Barmore. Quit spreading your lies.

And that’s why all 32 teams passed on him? I wouldn’t mind taking him, but not with a trade-up. I think we have his equal in Gallimore. We can disagree. I do not think he’s an NFL 1Tech. Playing it in college does not mean he can in the NFL.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Need a 3T too

As I’ve stated, I like Gallimore and think he’s as good as Barmore. He’s only played one season. Hill could also be a viable rotational player. We should give these young guys a chance or we’re never going anywhere.

 

[boysfanindc]

Better DT's in the 3rd/4th round (especially when looking for a 1 Technique) then there are CB's.

Think they need to go CB in round 2, then FS, DT, OT in the the 3rd.

 

[America's Cowboy]

No. Barmore is not the guy.

Why not?

 

[America's Cowboy]

I'd like to get Barmore. Those Bama DTs seem to do well.

Agreed.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

If we can get Barmore or Moehrig by trading up it needs to be done

 

[Denim Chicken]

There giving unproven players a chance, and then there's relying on unproven players.

 

[Avery]

If I'm moving up, it's for JOK. I think he's basically a SS in our defense but can really play multiple positions based on nickel/dime packages.

Worried that will leave us empty-handed at corner though.
