I had read somewhere an idea of trading back to the mid 20's & getting a couple draft picks & Delpit (S)
I read that Jerry has been quoted talking about making a "splash" so I suspect if true that sure as heck doesn't mean trading back. I think it's been a while for good ol' Jerrah to flex his draft day muscle and wouldn't be surprised if he goes into the day with a "go for broke" draft day mentality - he isn't getting younger. Hopefully there are no Johnny Manziels out there because this may be the year he tells Stephen to shove it if he tries to take the draft card out of his hand...
yeah.
No doubt,Erik William's was nasty before that car crash and likely was the best offensive lineman in the entire NFL prior to that crash. William's also mauled Reggie White on many occasions.
That trading back works so well for Jerry. SMH
worked out for the Travis Fredrick selection....Just seems to me we need players at each level of our defense. Four picks in the first 3 rounds seems logical
& if we trade back, gain a couple picks & get the guy we were looking at #17 anyways. How could that be a bad thing?
some mocks say no and some say yes. This is one of the few I'd take at 17 and forgo the trading back. Most mocks I've seem has us taking Xavier McKinney at 17. Good player but Delpit at the mid twenties and an extra 3rd seems better to me
I've seen like 5 different DL and DB's projected to us...and I would be happy with any of them. The draft sets up well for us
just like before we got Fredericks. I had been wanting a Center forever. (so it seemed)
Sure, if there was a way to know but you don't. If you have a guy you take him and you don't get cute IMO.
I agree 100% for every TF we have Juilius Jones, tight ends and other trade down beauties. I have seen more players of need gone ahead of us by not tradinng up. If you trade down you are taking a gamble and hoping the one you want will fall, I feel like more often then not someone seems to jumps us and get the player we need. If you got the guy you want, you take him. Dont get cute.
maybe it's the Cowboys....miss on a trade up hurts much more. Lose a draft pick to draft a bust. Hello Mo Claiborne
I think there are two ways they resign Quinn. First would be sign him before FA and second would be if he sits out there for a while and no one signs him because it seems we aren't going to give him a huge deal. This defense was horrible in big spots last year and our two best defenders may have been Quinn and Jones and we may lose them both - not to say either is close to as good as Lawrence, just talking about last season. Without those two this defense would have been pathetic and this team thinks the best way to make a poor defense better is to move forward without those two and put our hopes in draft picks that may or may not even contribute at the NFL level. Welcome to the Dallas Cowboys...
I agree. I used to hate this, because Jerry was free balling the picks, but I trust our scouting department and decision making now. Bottom line on trading back, is you cant count on Delpit to be there, but if you are at 17, and there are 8 players on your board that you value about the same, then you can trade back 8 spots and still get a guy you like. Pretty simple
