Agreed, from my understanding, we were only going to gain 1 extra pick from the Dallas trade.They offered their 2nd and 3rd for our 20th. So essentially, it was dropping back approximately 15 spots in exchange for a 3rd round pick.
GTFO with that bullshite.
Jets' rd. 1 pick #20: 850 pts
Dallas' rd. 2 pick #34: 560 pts
Dallas' rd. 3 pick #67: 255 pts
Dallas' rd. 4 pick #101: 86 pts
Dallas had no 5th or 6th round picks.
Jets wanted Cowboys' 2nd, 3rd and 4th Cowboys just wanted to give the 2nd and the 3rd. Do the math. 2nd + 3rd = not enough. 2nd + 3rd + 4th = too much. Jerry wasn't going to give us 2nd, 3rd, and 4th when he had no 5th or 6th round picks.
I guess the Cowboys could have given its 2nd, 3rd and a 4th for next year. Had we made that trade, then Mac could have drafted Noah Spence, Myles Jack or even Jaylon Smith with the Cowboys' 2nd rounder. Many believe that Spence will be every bit as good as Lee and a much better edge rusher, if he can stay away from the ecstasy. Could also have had Spriggs there. Then with pick 51, Mac could have taken Hack or waited until Dallas' 3rd to do so and still gotten the OLB he wanted in the 3rd round.
WHat a shame this didn't happen. I would have preferred it. Lee better be a stud.
