pgcd3 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Look forward to this every year even though my interest in this year's draft is low on my scale (which is probably high for a normal fan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like when they do that because it shows they liked the guy they got as opposed to taking the best of who’s left.

Vlad67 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Wait if Mims or someone like him is still on the board, than trade down with someone who wants him, so Cowboys can't get him. Ideally to the end of the first round or begining of the second...for lets say aditional this year 3rd if end of the first round and 3rd+4th if beginnning of the second round or whatsoever... and then take this guy Also...our biggest weakness was defending the middle of the field, so it oculd help in that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to trade away picks of course I hear you ... it's a trade off. But I'd prefer to end up with a DeVonta Smith (and not have a 2nd pick) then end up with a Dillard and JJAW (not that those 2 scenarios are identical but you catch my drift). It really boils down to proper talent evaluation though (and finding players that are better fits for how you plan to use them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really boils down to proper talent evaluation though (and finding players that are better fits for how you plan to use them). Talent evaluation is the plain issue, we can argue the toss about Howie's overall record of drafting and how it stacks up to the rest of the league, but his record in the bottom half of the first is indefensible. Since 2013 24 teams have drafted a pro bowler in the first round from pick 15 onwards, the Cowboys have drafted 6. the Ravens 5, the Vikings 4, hell even the Ginas and Washington have drafted a couple each. We haven't even drafted anyone that makes it to a second contract beyond pick 15 since 2009 (Maclin, pick 19), that's 6 picks so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get to reach back in time and re-draft players, this is the year to draft Bobby Taylor with pick 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procus Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 According to Shefter, Birds looking to package their 22 overall and one of their 2nd round picks to move up. Raiders have been mentioned as a trade target - they have 12 overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trade value chart aligns perfectly with moving to 13 (1150 pts) using picks 22 (780 pts) and 53 (370 pts) ... 780+370=1150. I think a trade up is almost a certainty and could see a couple teams willing to swing a deal: Indy (picks 22, 50, and 120 for 15 and 82). I'm sure Howie would love to find a way back into the 3rd round. Jax (picks 22 and 53 for 17, 96, and 116). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even Quinyon Mitchell because hes not at the level of last years top CBs. So not worth the extra value of trading for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beto_eagles Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 It'd be interesting to register what we all would have done with each Eagles' pick, and revisit that thread once the season is over. The person with the most Pro Bowlers selected wins and gets crowned as the real master of the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
