A number of teams have publicly expressed a willingness to trade down, especially near the top of the board, with respect to this month’s draft. One team that wouldn’t shy away from moving up, though, is the Cowboys.
“I would trade up in this draft… just going in as much as you can say about it, until you see what’s there and who’s on the other end of the line” said owner Jerry Jones (video link via the Athletic’s Jon Machota). “But I would trade up, since we’re down as low as we are in the first two or three rounds if we had a chance to and somebody that we had really coveted was sitting at the bottom … and we were able to trade up and get him.”
The Cowboys’ top pick is currently No. 24. They also own one selection in each of the second and third rounds, having added day three picks from the Browns as a result of the Amari Cooper trade. Another wideout to compliment CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup (and offset the loss of not only Cooper but also Cedrick Wilson) is a strong possibility.
Replacements for free agent departures such as Randy Gregory, La’el Collins and Connor Williams would also be logical targets for Dallas’ first few picks. In any event, the team will obviously be open to moving up to land a specific prospect – a contrast to most other teams’ views of this year’s deep, but not top-heavy class.
Jerry Jones and Vince McMahon are old aging into the same exact face.
Maybe they have the same plastic surgeon
Nothing matters until they fix their qb nightmare.
Nightmare is a bit excessive, don’t you think?
I HATE the Cowboys— They do not have a NIGHTMARE at Qb
They have a problem with fatigue at the QB possession. But most teams do. Extended season makes it hard. Matt Stanford won one by being terrible in the stretch. Lol. Cowboys can too with the same logic.
They absolutely have a QB nightmare….a guy who is seen as a star, is paid like a star….but most certainly is NOT a star.
Ezekiel Elliot is a HB.
Not sure about this off topic chatter but I do agree that trading up in rounds 3 & even 4 can grab up solid impact players in this draft. Moving up in 1& 2 is too expensive. Dallas has several comp picks this year and several projected in next years draft due to losses. So why NOT move up?
This year. The move up will be free or cheap
He looks ridiculous with his hands up like that. Embarrassing.
Not sure how that is embarrassing. We should be happy we can see both of his hands.
I would trade up and pay good $$$ not tho see that ridiculous photo of Jerra anymore.
