Luck could have had VIP amenities, police-escort, etc. What a commoner.

I wonder who assumed Luck was available.

Wrong. All wrong.

Philly jumped in front of Dallas to select Goedert. Good for them.

Nelson's presence should accentuate one of Ryan Kelly's primary strengths which is getting to the second level. Having a generational talent (ie. Larry Allen, Hutch) anywhere on the offensive line will positively impact the entire offense, and if this is the case with Nelson, then we did very well.

The premise of your scenario is quite similar to the time Polian traded up for Ugoh except he gave up a late 2nd and 1st the following draft in order to obtain an early 2nd. I'd do something similar with one of our early 2nds.

I read somewhere the average lifespan of an NFL RB is 2.7 years. Edit: 2.7 seasons

@Track Guy is on the clock with the Lions pick.

With the 81st pick the Cowboys select: Duke Dawson CB Florida

The second round should be ripe with a bunch very good OL prospects (Hernandez, Price, Wynn, C. Williams, B. Smith, Oneill +/-). It wouldn't surprise me if Ballard selects two of them.

@Track Guy is on the clock with the Lions 51st pick.

With the 50th pick the Cowboys select: WR Courtland Sutton SMU

With Doyle and Ebron in the fold, and Swoope waiting in the wings, we can afford to wait another season or two before giving such a valuable asset for a 3rd-string TE.
