I’d feel a lot better about trading down in this draft than up. Even the big 6 aren’t top level talents compared to top level talents in the past. Take some guys in the late first and day 2 maybe even try to get a future pick
I want to wait and let the board come to me because I’ll take an offensive player or a defensive player. I’m not getting wiped out and I’ll trade down
This is easy trade up in get your guy
Does McCoy give us the opportunity to sell 12?
We need more picks not less. Trading up is for good teams.
Just take Kenyon Sadiq and score 40 a game best linbacker available at 20
Team Trade Back 💪🏾
I think McCoy is definitely in play at #12 if the big six are all gone. He ran a 4.36. He will be even better by training camp. If we don't draft him just watch the Ravens pick him and he becomes a lock down pro bowl corner for the next 10 years.
We do this crap every year, win unnecessary games toward the end of the season and ultimately screw ourselves being just out of reach in the draft.
We need to get off the field a couple more times a game to give Dak the ball. It ain’t gonna be to then hand the ball off to Love or Javonte. WR at 12 bc Jerry ships GP to Cleveland maybe.
Love me some BB but man he interruptions were outta control today lol
Bain in silver and blue
thank you Bryan. enough of these trade backs for bunch of nickles. let's go get dollars
Carnel Tate with Dak and CD would become an all pro WR and one year of CD Pickens Tate and Flo would be crazy.
Voch is a goat and he’s the shit. Jeff, you won that battle. Just the facts
People over thinking. The longer the off season the more people have to come up with things to talk about. It's gonna be closer to the start of the offseason when everyones opinions are just based off of the tape and initial impressions. They aren't gonna have to move up someone's gonna be there. Initial mocks will be closer to reality.
Trade Pickens for Crosby straight up. Cowboys get a little older player but it addresses huge need and it addresses a big need for Raiders having a number 1 for a rookie QB. Money will be about a wash. Now Cowboys have options with draft.
Better draft a WR they are not going to sign GP, he is trade bait for a player or picks
Jeffrey, you didn't crush Voch at all. Part of your problem is the negativity you carry around after years of covering the Cowboys – mostly on radio where hot takes (mostly negative) are how you get clicks and ratings. You rarely acknowledge positive things that ownership does and that tends to color folk's willingness to buy into what your selling. Only somewhat recently have you acknowledged your absolute miss on Skyy Moore as an example. Nobody is right all the time so I don't fault you for that, but you need to watch out for being so dug in on areas that other equally informed pundits are less adamant about. Just my personal opinion after watching and following Cowboys talking heads for 30 years.
Mesidor at 20. Nope.
Im hoping someone offer us a first next year and second this year to move back. Back in late 1st of course
Stick at 12, drop back at 20 for Ant Hill. Best fit at LB.
It can’t be the guy’s knee. It would have to be effort or purpose. Why did it take so long to recover? Mesidor has foot issues. Why does he get a pass?
As a general rule, he who picks up the phone, overpays in the trade. There is no "wipeout' situation. That is a bs idea. Take one of the tackles worst case. WR has to be a consideration with the Pickens situation.
Love may be the best slot receiver in the draft. He is a Bijan level talent.
Can we trade 12 and 20 to Cleveland for Myles Garrett?
Please bend Brian’s brim just once
Brian is smart
It’s a Jalen Carter situation with Bain
Jeff we really appreciate the grind you’ve been on since getting the channel freedom back!
