The Trade Down Will Generate Quantity over Quality

we are now in a great position, and I disagree over Quality vs Quantity. This is a deep draft and we drafted a good player that can help us. A guard/center wasn't going to fix LT. Loe Barton but JPG is still sitting there as well as Frazier. We are ok.

I’m cool with the trade down, but what we’re not gonna do is act like the Center position isn’t an important position.

I know you’re old enough to remember Phil Costa.

That is where we are at.

Like it or not Center is just not a premium position.

Dallas skipped FA and we got holes to fill. A center isn’t changing anything.

I like what they did.

3 picks tomorrow.
The issue is, IMHO, they must go quantity over quality because of salary cap mismanagement.

Center isn’t a premium position.

Premium positions get picked high in the draft.

The best Center is lucky if they go first round most years.

Is what it is.


But I’m talking to a fan base that did cart wheels over a Nose Tackle last year. A 2 down player..
Who the coaches had drop 40 lbs and play 3t.

You should never take a 2 down player with your first pick.

That was awful and most of you did backflips over the pick.
It would have been a great pick if it actually worked and he was able.to sure up the run defense. But our run defense was still terrible

It already has, Barton and JPJ were in their lap and they gave them up for another 'raw' talent guy. Sometimes they work out, sometimes not. I would have liked to see them trade back again if they could have gotten a spot in the early second round because there were quite a few guys that could have been taken would have been similar to Guyton IMHO

Frederick and Biadaisz didn’t make a difference big picture.

Centers are most line calls and double teaming someone. Well be ok.

Dallas made the right move.
Wow... lol
Picking up LBs/safeties in the running game and holding your ground in the middle of the line,,, pretty important.
The last time this line was worth a fork was when T-Fred was in there... and beating up on the perennial punk teams of the NFL doesn't count.

Uhmmmm OK...
And it’s true.

We were more than fine without Frederick. That’s the reality.

If this team is going to take steps forward it will come off our QBs arm.

Not the center position.

Disagree. We’ve had good lines compared to the rest of the league for awhile.

We’ve also been winning games in the regular season and quickly getting eliminated in the playoffs just like we did with Frederick.

So you'd rather have quantity over quality?

They get another player too on a team that skipped free agency.
