Ravens could use a receiver...

Read on Twitter

That would mean they would draft Moore over Ridley based on speed. Also, i looked more in depth. No way Barkley drops to 5.



More and more I am convinced that Barkley doesn’t drop to 2.

Cleveland would be stupid to not take Barkley. You can get one of those qb's at 4 if you really want one of them.

They want Darnold though. He won’t make it to 4. If they think Darnold is the guy then they need to take him at 1. There is a very good chance the Giants take a QB or even Quenton Nelson from ND. If they do then Barkley is likely there at 4. If the Giants take Barkley then Chubb will be available for them at 4. Putting Chubb on the other side from Myles Garrett would make their defense extremely scary. This is a deep RB draft too so they could also take one in the 2nd and be more than fine.

The Jets just traded their first two rounds worth of picks to get to the 3 spot, so they definitely draft a qb.

All of a sudden, we are in desperate need of LB's, imho.

Both might be gone within the top 10. Edmunds will for sure. There is a chance Roquan falls to 15 at which point I’d expect the Cowboys to trade up for him.

With the signings the last couple of days (two WR and RT) I’d expect they’ll be looking to trade up to draft Derwin James from Florida St or one of the LB’s.

Defense, Defense and more Defense. We can win with the offense we have now, so lets go Defense.

I just found out Vea is coming to visit the Cowboys before the draft. I don't know if I should get excited or not. I want to be excited. That's been my guy from the start. I believe he will be a difference maker worth trading up for should we need to.

Vita Vea would actually be my 1st choice. I think he would make a huge impact on the defense. I’m just very skeptical on them drafting a 1-tech DT. I’ll believe it when I see.

Vea is a load. Much like Danny Shelton is/was. Gonna miss watching him in Purple.

Right up there with Jerry drafting backups in the 94 draft. Beyond ignorant.

Hearing some scuttlebutt about Leighton Vander Esch at 19. Not sure I like him there. He doesn't cry out "Stud" to me and I see questions about his consistency. I need consistency at 19.

I’ve been hearing the same thing. I mean I know he plays a position of need but this does seem a bit high. Reeks of Shante Carver (reaching for a position of need instead of taking best player available).

I just feel like there's a player they want and they'll move up to get this person. I think the Boys make 3 or 4 deals during the weekend and especially one on day one.

I fully expect them to make a deal or two. They have 10 picks and there is no way they actually draft that many guys. Also the draft is in Dallas this year so Jerry for sure is going to want to make a spectacle of himself.

Return to Dallas Cowboys
