Draft Jockeys, Part Deux
Add the Baltimore Ravens to the short list of teams that could trade with the Cowboys on draft day. The Baltimore Sun reports the Ravens are considering trading up from pick 22 if one of the players they have targeted falls out of the top ten.
Two players the Ravens value are USC WR Mike Williams and West Virginia CB Adam Jones. The article acknowledged that the Ravens would likely have to surrender their second round pick (#53 overall) to make the jump and listed the Cowboys as a possible partner.

If the Ravens want the #11 pick, they’ll have to do better than #22 and #53. They’re comin’ up about 100 points short based on the Draft Value Chart.
Make it a 1st, 3rd and a future 2nd (or 1st, 2nd and future 3rd) and then we’ll have something to talk about. Otherwise I’d say the ’Boys are better off staying put at #11.
Adrian,
Opinions vary widely, but rest assured there should be some very good value/talent available at #20 and #22, IMHO.

did anyone hear about the trade offered to us by the jets . Abaham and their 1st for our 2 first

Jerry said today, that the 11th spot is a nice place to be. Dallas can wait to see if the value is there or if there is more value by trading down. Didn’t someone say yesterday that there wouldn’t be a bidding war? We’ll see!

Matt,
Where did you see this rumor? It’s interesting if it’s true because it would show the Jets are
willing to deal. However, I would not make that exchange. The points difference between
the 20th and 26th pick is the value of a late 3rd rounder. Assuming this deal is made, Abraham is in effect being traded for a 1st and a 3rd rounder. That’s better than two
#1s, but it’s more than I’m willing to pay.
OTOH, if this is true and the Jets are willing to negotiate, this is in effect the maximum the Jets can hope to get. Work them down to a 1st, keep the 20th and I would have to think
hard about this one. Is an Abraham in the hand worth a Merriman in the bush?

an interesting point was made about does anyone remember last yr when all the gurus were talking about the cowboys would get steven jackson…all the mocks all the articles about parcells talking personally with him and such…and what happened? yes i know it’s fun to play armchair q.b and g.m….but….let’s set back and watch what happens….i personally see them making moves to get many players not just 1 or 2 studs…

jerryw,
Hey I’ve been saying for a while now that the Boys could end up with 4 first day selections, and a first next year, or possibly 5 first day choices. It’s all about who falls, and which teams value the players still on the board. There are a host of possible suitors to trade to the 11th spot. St.Louis reportedly wants Barron, and Houston is waiting with open arms at 13. Is Houston willing to give us back our 3rd rounder to nab their OT?San Diego, Baltimore, and Seatle are looking to draft a WR. What happens if 1 of the top 2 WRs falls to us? Now Pac Man Jones is also emerging, but there is also a shot at Rolle being available at 11, and Baltimore, NY Jets, and K.C. are all interested in drafting a corner. This could be very interesting!

Part of the cowboys down fall in the later years is they have got many players over the 1 or 2 studs. It seems we already have a bunch of duds, let’s get some quality players. We all know who they are from 1 thru 99. God, I wish I was the GM for the Cowboys for just one day.

Ericp, you can go to nfldraftblitz.com or nfldraftcountdown.com. They’re updating their mocks every week. Some even go a full 7 rounds with player grades and everything.
