I'd be happy with that. Although with McClain trying to eat himself out of the league they may need to look at drafting Darren Lee or Reggie Ragland.

Is that old pick of Nate Newton? lol
We disagree then, nothing wrong with that.
You have to have someone willing to trade with you though. With the top two QB's gone a lot of the trade leverage the Cowboys had is gone. They're not going to get a deal like the Titans and Browns got.

Preventing Elliott from joining the Eagles and Giants is worth something in and of itself.
Doesn't it seem like the whole spirit of the Philly draft move up was exactly that: they knew Wentz would go to Dallas and they didn't want that. After all, they already have their QB and the backup locked up in pretty big money. Makes not financial sense but it does make strategic sense in QB down the road but more importantly keeping Dallas from getting a strong weapon. They didn't need Murray last year and he certainly didn't fit in their offense. They signed that Oakland CB Asomougha right out from under Rob Ryan when it was not a big need for them. Eagles have a history of toying with naive and impulsive Jerry (didn't the Eagles trigger LaFleur or another TE?).
By the way ESPN's Louis Riddick was on Mike & Mike this morning, he's 100% convinced Dallas is drafting Elliott. Said they have been doing a ton of work on him.
He also believes 5 QB's are going round one, the top 3 plus Cook and Hackenberg (has him going to Denver)
I don't think its that at all. I think they wanted a legit long term solution at QB and saw the chance to get one. Obviously by moving to 2 w/o 100% knowing who the Rams were taking, they were fine getting either of the big two QB's.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Bradford and that JAG backup they signed arnt the answers.

That's good news as far as I'm concerned.
I like Riddick, he seems to be really honest with his player evaluations, brutally honest.
But his projections have been shit so far in his young draft guru career.
Clayton reporting Cowboys and Titans may have a deal in place now to trade 4 for 15, plus a 2nd and 3rd if Tunsil is still available at 4.
When Riddick was on this morning with Mike & Mike, they all agreed the Chargers were going to pass on Tunsil and take Ramsey instead.
15 is a little further than I'd like to see us go, but the 2nd and 3rd rd does appear to be pretty deep
Realistically, how many roster spots are likely to be available for the 2016 rookies?
Since my Goff dreams were destroyed, my draft hopes are:
1. Ramsey
2. Trade down
I thought you liked Bosa, what happened?
And if they want Elliott, they'll probably have to take him at 4. There's a lot of teams behind us that like him and need RB's.
