Great point about the visits. I hadn't thought about that angle. However, 27th is the latest the Cowboys have picked in that time frame you are referencing.
I would be shocked if the following players were still available at #27:
Marcus Peters
Kevin Johnson
Bud Dupree
Tod Gurley
I consider the following players to be quite a stretch to take in the first round:
Byron Jones
PJ Williams
Eli Harold
Owamagbe Odighizuwa
Shaq Thompson
Eric Kendricks
Dorial Green-Beckham
Carl Davis
So that leaves:
Jalen Collins
Melvin Gordon
I don't see them going RB in the first round unless Gurley somehow falls to them or within range to trade up for him.
There's a very good chance Philly takes Collins at #20 if they don't trade up for Mariota.
If the cowboys are left with a choice between Melvin Gordon and Malcom Brown, I'm really hoping they choose Brown.

Dallas has telegraphed a lot of draft picks. I'd be surprised if Brown is on their radar given the number of cbs, des, lbs, and rbs they invited to town. I would expect them to take Gordon given the cards they've shown, but I too would prefer Brown (who also might be long gone). Tomorrow will not follow prevailing media logic on several players. It rarely does, so we have less an idea about grades than we think.
I don't expect Dallas to pick at 27. I have a hunch they want to move up for a pass rusher if they can and might for a corner if one gets close. On the other hand, according to the Peter King several teams are looking to move up to the back of round 1. Dallas could pick up a pick or two by moving down.

Fwiw, I expect them to draft Ty Montgomery as a replacement for Dwayne Harris. He might be part of why they'd take a picks package. It's also possible they could get a crappy team's '16 first rounder by moving back. That might be brilliant.

I'm a fan of this move if there is nothing at 27 worth taking. Another thing to keep an eye on is how far Shane Ray drops after his arrest. If he drops to them, I could definitely see them scarfing him up.

That's definitely another way to go. I believe the cowboys are one of the few teams that are only a couple players away from being a super bowl team. Trading up could land us one of those players.
I think we stay pat and let the fallers come to us i.e Gregory or Ray.
If they are gone, then I think we trade back to 2(1) with Tenn. and pickup their 4th
OR
trade back with TB,JAX,Chicago or any of the other teams in the early second round.
I think they'll be a lot of players in the mid second that could yield a great player AND another pick or two.

Oh...I agree 100%.BUT...everyone mid to late is looking to trade down. There actually might be decreased prices to move up.
IF we do...its for Gordon. I just cant see it though.

I agree with how you see it possibly playing out but just hope it isn't Gordon. Someone so similar can be had so much later. I'm okay with them moving up or down (prefer down for the extra at bats), but one way to look at it is: There seems to be a mid-round one end of top graded talent, so moving into that tier makes sense if they've vetted someone they are certain will produce. Likewise the next tier seems to go on and on so going down for an extra pick makes sense too. Happy Draftmas!

If multiple teams with picks in the low 30s really want to trade into the 1st, as is being reported, it sounds like music to Cowboys' ears.

Pretty sure you can trust Bguy not to make something up. I would guess the player is either Gurley or Dupree.

I really feel like Gordon is Felix Jones and I'm terrified of Gurley's knee and how he injured it so effortlessly.
I want OL ,DL or CB.
Almost always in that order

I was thinking the same thing last time I posted. I like your priorities, almost always in that order. More importantly, I don't care what position they draft. I just care that they get a serious contributor. He could come play anywhere. If he's starting, and he's good, it was a good pick. Such a high percentage miss.

Um, no. I've been reasonably favorable about decisions made in recent years. Some problems, but major errors kept to a minimum.

Other than maybe body type, are Jones and Gordon similar at all? One guy was a part time player who's game was based almost soley around his his straight line speed, while the other was a workhorse runner with limited straight-line speed that got his yardage in other ways.
If anything, Gordon seems very similar to DeMarco Murray in both body type and running style.

We took Felix with Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Ray Rice, and Jamaal Charles available. I hated that they could have waited. Feel strongly about it again this year though I agree Gordon has lower bust potential than Felix did. I sure remember a lot of celebrating Dallas fans here who thought Felix was a great pick. I hated it then and said so until I was tired of sayin it. Wait for an RB this weekend, please.

Id love to add him late. a big bruiser like that who can catch. Would be nice to have a Brandon Jacobs to shove down the Giants throats in the 4th quarter.Bankerguy said:
