DMN Blog: This trade down adds up
by Tim MacMahon
A mock draft at FoxSports.com is predicting that the Cowboys take South Florida CB Mike Jenkins at No. 22 and ship No. 28 to Atlanta.
The Falcons passed on Matt Ryan with their first pick and decided to take Jake Long to add stability on the O-Line. In my previous mock draft, I projected the Dolphins to trade up with the Cowboys at the 22nd overall selection, but now I foresee the Falcons trading up with the Cowboys at this pick to grab Brian Brohm. Atlanta gives up one of their second-round selections (48th overall) and third-round selection (68th overall) in the trade. The Falcons copy the Browns' plan from last year and get a franchise OT and QB in the first round.
Based on his draft history, it's a safe bet that Trader Jerry will deal one of the first-rounders. I'd recommend getting rid of the first due to the Curse of 22, but I plugged this swap into the draft value chart anyway.
No. 28 has a value of 660 points. Nos. 48 (420) and 68 (250) add up to 670. Deals don't get much more fair and square than that.
But Jerry doesn't just look at the draft value chart before deciding to pull the trigger on a deal. He also checks the comments on this here blog, so fire away with your opinion on whether this would be a wise move for the Cowboys.
