I know the common meme is typically something along the lines of "we waste our third rounders on guys like Green and Wilcox" but I think trading up when we are going to get a blue chip player no matter what is foolishness. Goff, Ramsey, or Bosa will be there even if Wentz is gone. All 3 fill huge needs and are legit blue chip.
Wentz has to develop as well as learn the Cowboys offense. I have no idea how he learns, socializes, practices, etc to know anything about how that will go with the Cowboys or any other team. NFL scouts are in a position to know that but I am pretty confident in saying nobody posting here has that access. Insisting on something from a position of ignorance seems unwise to me.
It's one thing if you are trading up from the teens or later for Dez Bryant or even Mo Claiborne. It's quite another to peddle some of the best draft picks in a draft with decent depth at DT, RB, CB, and even QB where we are sitting. Maybe if someone like Elliot falls or similar position stud falls then trade back into the first to get another position stud but I'd prefer to hoard these top selections otherwise.
