Would you rather trade up in the 1st or the 2nd? Going off draft pick value alone:

1. Trading up in the 1st - Would cost us 1st, 2nd, and 3rd to get into Miami region (#11), or just a 1st and 2nd to get into Arizona territory (#15). I personally wouldn't be thrilled unless we took a Derwin James (I have extreme FSU bias, but, he's an amazing player). 

2. Trading up in the 2nd - Would cost us our 2nd and 3rd (depending on which we give) to get around Chicago (#39). This make sense if we see a RB, CB, or C/G falls. 

With two 3rds I would be shocked if we did not trade up. Just curious if you guys are in love with any players higher up on the board that would require a trade up.

i think our first and a third could net us Derwin and it's completely worth it. No point in trading up in second unless someone falls that shouldn't.

neither.  let the chips fall where they may.  we need impact players in too many spots to trade up

we aren't getting an impact player in the third and if you're depending on that, then you don't know football.

I just don’t see many players who we could plausibly trade up for. In addition the cost of trading up in a QB heavy draft is prohibitive. Going up for Derwin James at a position which the team doesn’t value doesn’t seem likely to me. Also we didn’t have him for a visit or meet with him that I know of. I just don’t see it. Trade down please if possible.

But there are impact players present in the third round.

 

Alvin Kamara's destruction of our defense is testament to that.

...and there is no guarantee we get one in the first either. 

That is the problem with trading up, people convince themselves they have found a sure thing.  When in reality there are no sure things in the draft.  So if you miss on the guy you traded up for have missed on all the picks you traded also.

I'm not saying you should never trade up, but you have to look at the odds.  Do you want to trade a 38% and a 14% chance for one 45% chance? <totally made up numbers but it illustrates my point

Also using our 3rd round pick (85) moves us up to about 18th, still not convinced we get Derwin there.

You could definitely get a RB in the 3rd to compliment CMC for example.  I'd call that an impact player and I bet you would too

the key word you used is impact players. impact players aren't always going to fall. 

Yeah they are will. It happens every year. There is I’ll be impact players drafted well beyond he 1st round. Kamara and Hunt last year just to name two.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
