To those who want to hold on to the picks

[Beaker42]

We used 1st round picks on mazi, guyton and taco. We used 2nds on sam williams, g escobar, and schoonmaker. If I can get a pro bowl defender under 27, I'd do it now.just don't over pay.

Yep. The Escobar, Mazi, Taco and Schooner picks make me want to vomit. Our FO and McClay suck at picking.

Better off paying for a FA and saving the draft picks.

McClay isn't the GM or makes selection on draft day.

McClay isn't the GM or makes selection on draft day.

But I do think he oversees the Scouts; so that would be a legitimate area to work him over. They have failed as well

Correct.

If GB's pick looks late in the first, I may offer it to an awful team for their next 2 2nd rounders '26 & '27

Might as well Jerry believes delayed Comp Picks are the key to success.

They’re not close. Trade makes no sense. No one is giving up a good young defender, except at a premium.

And even without a "huge" premium that player is likely in a contract year so now you give up picks and have to give out a big contract to boot

100% correct. If we were one player away, like GB believes they are, that may make sense.

However, we are like 5 players away on defense.

A Super Hero could not fix this defense by themselves.

I literally cannot stand our owners - WE ALL KNOW that Eberflub is going to get canned in 3 games or less when we keep getting our doors blown out. He’s lost the entire D side of the coin.

 

[baltcowboy]

We have a great offense. With lamb coming back as well as booker. One or two more stops a game will do it. A pro bowl end can do that.

Who are you suggesting we trade for? There are players that I would trade those picks for but I don’t think they are available.

GM Jethro could do that, in an attempt to appease some of the fan base, however it is not going to fix anything. The problem is only going to get much worse moving forward, as we head into the harder part of our schedule.

 

[zrinkill]

We will never trade for as good of a player that we traded away.

It sure makes him feel giddy. Like we won the draft.

If he can't sign Pickens he will attempt to say it was a wash. We traded a 3rd and will get a 3rd round Comp Pick.

 

[Rockport]

Id rather take my chances with the picks then trust this awful front office trade, they are awful

They got Pickens for a 3rd.

 

[Pass2Run]

We also used first round picks on Lamb, Micah, and Tyler Smith.

Who?

Every team is going to have hits and misses in the draft. Overall, the Cowboys hit more often than they miss.

Since 2005, they have had 4 seasons where they finished under .500.

That simply does not happen if they consistently draft poorly.

The bigger issue is they won't get aggressive in free agency to fill more needs.

The cowboys rely way too much on the draft and cheap FA
until that changes we stay where we are MEDIOCRE

Over pay? Jerry will sign Pickens and make Aubrey the highest paid Kicker in the league.

After that we will not have cap space to trade and sign a pro bowl defender, never mind one under 27.

Maybe a has been pro bowl defender at 32.
