Should the Dallas Cowboys trade up in the first round?

http://thelandryhat.com/2017/02/26/dallas-cowboys-trade-up-first-round/



With possible trades on the horizon, Will the Dallas Cowboys look to improve their position prior to the upcoming 2017 NFL Draft?
The Dallas Cowboys have a lot of options in terms of what they can do in the 2017 NFL Draft. Currently they hold the 28th overall selection but could move forward if they get an opportunity. If Dallas does trade up they would need to likely give away several picks and or a player but it could be worth it depending on who they select.

There are plenty of teams in the NFL Draft that could be motivated to trade with Dallas and a lot of that speculation could come to a head at this years scouting combine. The Cowboys do have several players that teams could find interesting enough to trade for. The most likely player to be moved is obviously veteran quarterback, Tony Romo.

Dallas will need to think long and hard about how exactly they want to approach rebuilding their secondary. Both starting cornerbacks and the teams starting strong safety will hit the open market unless the team can re-sign them prior to the beginning of free agency...

I wouldn't mind trading up a bit if the right guy is there, at the right trade price.

 

[JBS]

No

 

[StarBoyz83]

No. They need all the picks they can get since they don't use FA.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

No.

And I am unanimous in that.

 

[gimmesix]

I'd be OK with trading up if we can use Romo to do it. I'm against giving up picks.

 

[CCBoy]

No.

And I am unanimous in that.

...and if Dallas got a significant pick in exchange for Tony Romo, you wouldn't pair and move up a good bit?

I can't say positively no... But...

Yeah that's the only situation. Swapping with someone and throwing in Romo.

But the market isn't there for that and I can't see it happening.

Trade our 1st and 2nd to move up to 18 and take OJ Howard.

 

[Bowdown27]

Depends on how far and who falls. We traded up a few spots for dez. We can do it again

 

[StarBoyz83]

Trade our 1st and 2nd to move up to 18 and take OJ Howard.

I'd hope like he'll it was worth it. recently they've used 2 picks both guys were busts.

Too many holes on the team to use a 1st and a 2nd on one player.

 

[John813]

Only if it included someone like Romo and no other picks

Like Romo+ 1st for Broncos 1st for example as a basis

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

Nuck fo. Deep draft, trade down and collect more picks if possible, not trade up and burn multiple picks on one player

Yuck fea!

 

[DFWJC]

I dont get these people who think it makes sense to trade up before the draft.

Unless teams are going to the very top 2 picks--where they know who theyre getting--it very rarely happens.

You trade during the draft.

 

[Ranching]

Yes, what the hell has trading down win us the last two decades.

 

[CCBoy]

An astute fan might well feel that with a solid team, getting a handful of quality talent is worth the direction taken.

You're right.

Let's throw in the 3rd as well.

 

[gmoney112]

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

There's a legitimate chance that after 2017, we'd have a 1st, 2 2nds, and a 3rd all under the age of 28 that arent even on the team anymore.

From trading up.
