What a difference between this and last year's 2nd round

[NorthwestDallas40]

No need to take a guy like Jaylon Smith this year... the talent left at the top of the 2nd round is ridiculous. Dalvin Cook? Cam Robinson? Kevin King? Tyus Bowser? Sucks that we don't have the 4th pick this time.

It's gonna be painful to watch one after another come off the board....By the time Dallas picks I swear people around here with be sour grapes.

I don't think there's any difference, to be honest. You had guys like Jaylon, Jack, Ogbah, Reed, Dodd, Spence, Ragland, Robinson, Henry etc. still on the board last year.

Jaylon smith is an animal

Yeah, picking 28th makes a huge difference. However since this is a deep draft for what our defense needs. It makes it an interesting draft to watch to see if this defense can get fixed, or get a good start on it. Then round it off next year. Or fine tune it if it goes as plan this year.

I look at it this way, with the fact he never saw the field last year, we really have two 2nd round picks.

who was the Oklahoma DE Cleveland took right before us Eman Ogbah?
How does Ogbah compare to Taco I wonder. Jaylon was a not their first choice.

I see it like 3 high 1st round picks last year and MCollins makes at least a second round grade.

I was curious how much it would cost to move up in the 2nd. I'm not advocating doing it, but I looked at last years trades to find a comparable.

Last year the Colts traded up in the 2nd round from #57 to #48. It cost them their 4th rounder (#125) and a 7th rounder (#248).

That is a pretty high cost - I would assume our 4th rounder #133 would move us up about 8 spots.

Cost is to steep IMO. There is enough talent in the second round, we can get a good player by staying put.
As there is good depth here, but not that much of a difference to give a way a draft pick for 8 to 10 slots.
We need players, and can get a S and and a CB tonight.
Then tomorrow in the 4th round, still get a decent player no matter what position.

I think we move up today.

 

[DoctorChicken]

I think we move up today.

I'm sensing that too.

This whole "lol we can get any CB we want at 60" from the FO. It's kind of suspicious.

True, but here's the thing: depending on how good Jaylon is this year, it will be like getting another 1st-3rd rounder. Personally, I don't think he'll be ready to set the league on fire like some here hope but he will contribute and make enough plays to be equal to a high 2nd rounder I would think. (yeah...I know, about where he was drafted) Can't wait to see this kid in action. I don't watch much pre-season anymore but I sure will this year.

I agree with you, a 4th rounder should be a quality player, maybe not a guaranteed starter but as you said, a chance at a decent player. Too much to give up to move that few spots.

I think we move up today.

I do as well. An early run on CBs will make Dallas antsy at 60.

 

[Risen Star]

I think we move up today.

I hope not.

 

[IAmLegend]

I think we move up today.

For who? Budda Baker is really the only player I would mood up for tbh. But it's going to cost us a lot to move up in the early 2nd. Not sure it's worth it.

Ya cause they have really done tons of trading recently

no need,one of the DBs who visited the Star will be there at 60 guaranteed.
