If you have him rated top 10 screw where every other team has him rated. Just like Fredricks We had him rated much higher then other teams did. Some times you have to trust the scouts you hire and live and die on their reputations. For the record I don't know where he's rated.
I'll agree it YOU have him rated top 10 take him, but you said if you think you can get him in the 2nd I'd think that means he's nowhere near top ten. As for Fredericks I think they really believed he would not be there by their next pick. In these cases if the player you really want is very unlikely to be there by your next pick then I can see reaching a little but I'd hope to trade back for said player and gain an extra pick. I want Wentz, but not him or any QB at 4, I'm all for trading back into the 15 20 range for Wentz.
Meaning Don't assume you can get him in the 2nd. The Cowboys may not be the only team high on him in theory. If they think he's a franchise qb why wait until the 2nd round and let some one else get him.
We weren't picking Frederick until all our other guys went. Kind of lucked out that we got such a good player after being played like amateurs...Still love the comments that 'He was about to get picked buy...'
I agree in theory, but only if we don't see a can't miss prospect on the board at 4 when it's our turn. For example, if we love Bosa or one of the DBs and they are sitting there I'd rather just take them..
I would be more excited about Bosa or a CB than one of the QB's. We are in a good spot
I agree.I don't know the board and obviously don't know where the coaches and scouts really have anybody rated .
I love the Idea of getting more value and more picks by trading back a little but not this year. My thoughts are simple Romo has 2 years left to play to get us out of that contract hell with him depending on health maybe less if he gets hurt again on that shoulder or his back. We have the #4 pick in the draft we need a QB to Groom. At least 2 players are rated that high this year Goff ,Wentz or Lynch depending on who you like.
I have stated before that I like Wentz having watched him play for 3 years on Saturdays. I stay at 4, pick My Qb and move on to the rest of the draft. Why you ask? Well the Cowboys have neglected the position for so long that its time to pick a blue chip QB that gives you a 50/50 chance of success.
And Honestly what's the worst that can happen the guy fails and we have to find another QB? The Cowboys did not have a plan in place when Aikman left and foundered for years until they were gifted Romo by Sean Payton at the time and if Quincy did not love the weed so much Romo most likely would not be here either.
I'm willing to take the chance at 4 and draft a QB.
To me its simple draft him and let him sit and learn and then reap the benefits or start over but you have to start by buying the lottery ticket.
JMHO others will vary
Understand, but I really believe Dallas wanted OL, and the player SF wanted was no longer on the board. If Vacarro was still on the board I think Dallas would have gotten better value. Funny thing is it worked out for both teams, Frederick is a stud and so is Reid, who also turned out to be the better S.
Reid is a player, no question but no issues here....I screamed for quality center for as long as I've posted on internet football forums and we sure got quality in Fred.
I'm not complaining about Frederick, or the trade, just stating my opinion on why SF got more value out of the deal. I really believe SF wanted Vacarro, Reid was their 2nd option, and Dallas wanted an OLman but Frederick wasn't their 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice. By the time Dallas was ready to pick the OL they wanted was gone and so was Vacarro. I don't think Dallas wanted the spend the 18th pick on Frederick and SF wasn't too sure it wanted to trade up for Reid, at least not by giving up the value Dallas fans screamed for. If Vacarro was there at 18 I think the trade would have been SF's 1st and 2nd.
