Trade Back is a real possibility

[J12B]

More than likely there will be a couple of solid studs on offense still available at #10. Players like, D. Smith, Waddle, Slater, maybe even Pitts.

The Dolphins pick at #18 and the Jets pick at #23 who will for sure be wanting to get weapons or protection for Tua or Z. Wilson (presuming that is their pick at #2).

Giants, Eagles, Chargers are most likely taking offense at their respective spots.

My guess is that either the Dolphins or Jets will move up to #10 to try and nab the guy they want to help their young QB.

I like the idea of a trade back and picking up a 2nd rounder in the process.

I like this idea A LOT.

Moving down to either #18 and getting an extra 2nd round pick...or move down to #23 and get an extra 2nd and 3rd or 4th would be pretty good at helping us pick quality talent during Day 1 & 2 to shore up a lot of our holes on Defense (DT, CB, S, LB) and the Oline (O-Tackle).

Similar to the Travis Fredrick trade when we added a pick, two players for one. We would easily be able to get two players with starter grades.

It’s gonna take a lot more than a 2 to go from 23 to 10.

It is clear as day the Cowboys are drafting a cornerback with number 10 pick. Unless they some how like “broke back” Farley, the top 2 cornerbacks are not going to drop out of the top 15. Minnesota appears to have lost one of their top cornerbacks because he assaulted a woman on Friday. The Cowboys are not trading back. It is more then likely they trade back into the end of the first round to get a pass rusher. There is no way Pitts or Sewell make it to 10 with the Darnold trade.

I am all for trading back to try to land both a corner/safety, but it's very risky trading away from a top 10 talent, the drop-off could potentially be a wide gap. Is it worth two solid starters over 1 elite one?

For this team, yes. One "elite" player, on offense or defense, isn't going to improve the team as much as two solid starters, even if second rounders are considered to be much lesser quality players than the first round. Which I don't agree with. To say in the entire roster of literally thousands of college players there are only 20-25 excellent players is to me silly.

Besides, most everybody knows your second, third and fourth rounds are the ones where great drafts are made, those players don't have as big a percentage of HOF players as first rounders, but 22 players are needed to play the game, can't have HOF players at every position with 1,696 players in the league...

I disagree. If the team is able to trade back, there is going to be an elite player a team is willing to give up a pick for. It's either going to be Pitts or one of the Tackles, as the QB's will be already gone. Think all three prospects are better then a 2nd tier corner, 2nd tier Edge rusher or Linebacker.

If the Cowboys trade down to #18 or possibly even #23, there is a good chance 1 of these 2 players might still be available: DT Christian Barmore or O-Tackle Teven Jenkins. They both are studs at their respective positions which we have needs at. Plus, it would be worth to trade down from #10 to still be able to grab one of them in the 1st, while grab an extra 2nd and possibly 3rd or 4th round picks.

 

[cnuball21]

I"d love to trade down and add a 2nd if possible. Outside of Parsons, there isn't a blue chip defender in the draft IMO.

I'd be ok with Sewell / Slater at 10, but adding more darts for defenders would be cool too.

 

[RS12]

Three of the last four drafts range from awful to mediocre. Sorry I don't trust the "brain trust" here to successfully pull off a trade back that works out.

I'm actually more for doing this than anything because there will be solid players even at #18 to #23.

In my opinion, much rather have either Pitts or Sewell then both Barmore/Jenkins. Both are solid players, but neither will become elite players at their respective positions.

 

[Teague31]

I’m all for it if the price is right. We can get a starting corner at 44.

Agree on Sewell...if he even makes it all the way down to our #10th spot.

As for Pitts, we don't need a TE. If Pitts falls to us at #10, Cowboys definitely need to trade down in the 1st round while picking up an extra 2nd and possibly a 3rd or 4th round picks.

 

[Sydla]

I am hoping for a trade back, pick up another 2nd rounder.

Bingo!!!!!! you beat me to it .....the further you move from top 10, it gets real risky, especially for Jerry, Stephen and McClay. I was just reviewing all Cowboys 1st round picks since Jerry bought the team in 1989. Just wanted to see if there was any sort of pattern draft for their drafts in and around the top 10. They've actually done well selecting in the top 10 range but outside of 15, they tend to struggle.

Just keep in mind, these are the types of prospects that a team would give up an additional pick for. Pitts is a generational talent, passing on him could be like when we passed on Randy Moss, yes he is that good.

 

[Sydla]

Ideally, I'd love to trade back into the teens, grab another second round pick, still end up with Horn or Collins or JOK or maybe even Barmore at that point.

 

[JD_KaPow]

The traditional value chart says #10 is worth exactly #18 and #50, the Dolphins picks. I'd expect to get a little more than that, a 6th or something.

The chart also says that #10 is worth just about exactly #23 and #34, the Jets picks.

So yeah, these are really interesting possibilities. I sure wouldn't mind having 23, 34 and 44. There's a lot of draft analysis suggesting that 1st-rounders are overvalued and 2nd-rounders are undervalued.
