We probably traded away more draft picks than just about any team in the NFL, certainly during Jerry's post Jimmy GM tenure. We used 4 first round and two third round picks on wide receivers over the past 10 years. Most normal clubs trade those picks for franchise QB's. We used multiple picks on TE's. We traded up for Claiborne, Spencer, Ekuban and lord knows who else (LeFleur, Carver?) because I've lost track. Paying 11 million for Spencer (two years in a row) was an act of desperation because Jerry neglected the lines so much that he had no one in the wings or planned for his departure. When you have 15 players between the O and D line (10 rotating D linemen and 5 starting O linemen), your examples are hardly adequately addressing a position of need. Please.......
LOL at using something from 10 years ago.
Trading away draft picks? As if we do that every year.
In response to your comment below. We do it routinely. How far back to you want me to go? I could have kept it more recent with Claiborne and Roy Williams. Which do you prefer? It's Jerry's MO. He fancies himself a wildcatter....a risk taker. This is nothing new so why deny it?
Ok, we're looking at 15-20 mph winds for the game. LINK It seems obvious that the team that can run the ball the best has the edge in winning this game. Will we get our rbs 20-30 carries or will we defy convention and let Romo sling it 40+ times? What would you do? If I'm in control my gameplan is to pummel the giants into submission. Heavy dosages of DeMarco. I'm not letting them dictate my offense based on their defensive alignment. I'm going straight at them.

It is so windy, we will TRY and run, prob get stuffed... Meanwhile NY will prob run it down our throats...
If that's the case, maybe today is a good day to put up Christmas lights.

So we don't trade away picks every year? Got it.
Did we trade away picks last year? Sseemed like we picked up one. Got two players in the process.
Funny how that's never discussed in the bash Jerry threads.
