There is no way you'll be able to move up in round one and give up little capital. Let's say to move from 12 to 5 it would mean swapping 1st's plus giving up a second this year and a third next year. I don't think there's anyone in this year's draft worth that. Especially a RB.
It’s reported that there are only 12-14 1st rd grades this draft. It may be a possibility where a luxury pick such as RB and FS are the only 2 left.
The only way I‘m moving up that high is for QB. Don’t forget the trade down from 10-12 netted a 3rd and Micah.
You mentioned a dominant force and Mason Graham would be the closest description and possibly McMillan. There's no QB worth moving up for and it's pointless to even debate that. This year's draft is overall weak and I'm not sure a lot of teams are going to be willing to deal for the 12th pick. Most years there would be a Parsons or a Donald sitting at 12 or abouts that would draw attention for a deal. But you know it's hard to say what other teams will do and who they target/ fall in love with. Those of us who enjoy the draft process and evaluating players think we have a pretty good idea on who's what and who's not and every year there are surprises, especially with the Cowboys.
I think most QB prospects are all over the board. Because you cannot unscrew the top of their head and look inside.
Some will be mad when the Cowboys get the 2nd ranked player at 12.
Ranked my Top 15 prospects last night. I am all for taking prospect #2 Jeanty over Graham, but if MM comes back which he likely will, in what universe do you guys believe we will utilize him the way we need to?
If we are keeping MM as a HC it almost makes sense to trade back and collect extra picks with the needs and lack of depth at WR for his scheme, would love some thoughts on my rankings here.
. I just don't want a RB in round 1. It's a poor value. We found Pollard in round 4 and Dowdle on the scrap heap. We do fine at RB. It's the easiest position in the NFL to fill.
Both of these OT's have questions. Banks is looking for as a guard instead of a tackle. Campbell is likely the best OT on the board but both of them are not sure things.
we were spoiled as the first rd picks on OL have been incredible until Guyton. Tyron Smith first year starter will go into the HOF. Martin first year ALL PRO and will go to the HOF. Fredbeard first rd pick and I believe without the illness he would have been in the HOF. Tyler Smith if he stays at Guard has a real shot. And remember until Tyron Smith Jethro never used a first on a O lineman. Then comes Guyton. How that will effect Jethro is hard to tell.
Every year , with the exception of Henry , the “best 3 backs in the league “ changes. I’ll take any position at 12 but rb. You talk about a deep DE class, have you seen the rb class? It’s 4 rounds deep.
The drop off from Edge in round 1 to round 3 is significantly higher than RB. Although I don’t see all these rookies from 2023 massively contributing. It’s because they aren’t workhorse backs.
Bucky Irving was a 4th round rookie rb who had 1500 yards from scrimmage for Tampa. Huge impact player.
This is like saying drafting Zeke was a waste, he directly impacted the W column significantly and didn’t fall off until year 4.
You listen to the media too much.
100% on board with this.
Should have drafted Ramsey. It was true then and is still true today.
Oh, you want to play the hindsight game? ok. Drafting Zeke was a waste bc we could have filled that spot in round 2 with Derrick Henry.
