Why no trade ups?

[Teague31]

cannot believe we are going to use all 10 picks. Why can’t this team move up? Not nimble enough? Too cheap? Or an admission we have a ton of holes. I don’t get it

They aren't looking to fill 10 holes with 10 picks, they're hoping to fill 2 or 3. That's easier to do with 10 picks, than 6.

Doesnt matter now, bunch of scrubs left...should have traded up into 2nd and 3rd

Half our picks wont even make it past training camp

Dallas either greatly overpays or claims trades are too expensive. Meanwhile, teams all over the place are maneuvering up and down the draft.

I think that teams don't respect Dallas from all of the years of Jerry making foolish trades. Also, because we take a passive approach to trades and free agency, we rely heavily on the draft and seem to overvalue picks.

 

[Proof]

Yeah a bit puzzling. Bunch of talent to be had and they’ve got the resources to leverage. Team is really weird

Over half the picks in the 3rd round, 2nd round or the first 3 rounds combined won't become regular starters.

Hilarious. We are sticking to our board, getting good value, and people are complaining.

Not complaining about the picks so far. But who are we taking in the 6-7 rounds that will make this team?

We have fans who think anyone after the 3rd round is a waste of time...never mind that 65% of NFL rosters consist of players drafted after the 3rd round or not drafted at all.

If Casual Fan™ hasn't heard of him, he's a scrub.

You think moving up would only require 6 and 7th round picks?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

No need to trade up if you are getting the guys you want. I'm sure for the right guy they will trade up for.

Seriously. It’s like he’s advocating trading up for the sake of trading.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yeah at this point I don't care. At this point you are probably going to get the player you want without having to trade up.

The Eagles FO told them it wasn't allowed and apparently we believed them.

Good value?...what does that even mean, these bottom of draft players wont even make the team

1 in 5 4th rounders will become regular starters. With (2) 4th round picks, that ups the odds to a 36% one of them will be a regular starter.

You can improve the odds further by getting "good value".

 

[Mobinvans]

Ya, I think I would rather just have more 1st and 2nd round picks or Earl Thomas than some value scrubs that wont make the team

 

[Jipper]

May be they are focused on churning the bottom of the roster and trying to get better overall....

What round was Antonio Brown drafted in? Or Sherman? Or Josh Norman? Or Brady? The list goes on and on
