They passed on trade down for Mazi

[J-man]

I guess they really wanted Mazi because KC wanted to move up and they said no thanks.

KC wanted to move up . . . for Mazi. Its been reported a few times here. Apparently KC told them after the pick was in that Mazi had been their target.

Reportedly KC wanted to move up to draft Mazi...

From 26 to 31 you really wouldn’t get much. Might as well stay and get your guy

Think a fair trade would have been swapping firsts and giving up our 5th for their 3rd. Trade value charts put this as almost spot on, and if they really wanted the selection, you possibly could do slightly better.

Yep, especially in this draft class.

The Pat's got a 4th for dropping from 14 to 17...

26 = 700 points
31 = 600 points

KC has pick 95 = 120 points. So the Cowboys would have to throw in pick 169 (22 points) in.

So would you rather have 26 & 169 (and draft Smith) or 31 & 95? Clearly the Cowboys wanted Smith.
