FartWaffles 1,857 Posted May 1, 2016 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000659100/article/jerry-jones-regrets-not-overpaying-to-get-paxton-lynch Jerry Jones regrets not overpaying to get Paxton Lynch Most times in Jerry Jones' life, the Dallas Cowboys owner gets what he wants. Not so during the 2016 NFL Draft. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday night that the Cowboys tried to trade back into the first round to select quarterback Paxton Lynch, but couldn't get a deal done. The Denver Broncos swooped in to snag the signal-caller. Missing out on Lynch had Jones up late on Thursday night, lamenting a squandered opportunity to get his desired heir to Tony Romo. The owner wishes he would have overpaid the Seattle Seahawks to get a deal done. "When I look back on my life, I overpaid for my big successes every time," Jones said, via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "And when I tried to get a bargain, get it a little cheaper or get a better deal on it, I ended up usually either getting it and not happy I got it. Or missing it. "And I probably should have overpaid here." Jones said Friday he was still stewing about not snagging Lynch. "I was still mad about it," Jones said. "Actually thought we had it done." Lynch is seen as a toolsy quarterback who, with a couple years of grooming, might eventually be the best passer of the 2016 draft class. Sitting Lynch behind Romo for a couple of years could have been a boon for both the team and player. Alas, Jones didn't ante up. Broncos general manager John Elway did. The battle to draft Lynch adds to the prevailing thought that the quarterback could become a top-shelf passer in the NFL, despite some question marks entering the draft. Dallas also attempted to trade up to get Connor Cook in the fourth round, before the Oakland Raiders leapt them for the quarterback's rights. Jones wasn't too disappointed about that miss. The Cowboys eventually grabbed their heir in Dak Prescott in the fourth round, someone who Jones called a "heady player" with "upside." Just not as much upside as Lynch. Jerruh shook. Elway is laughing somewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted May 2, 2016 The Cowboys should have traded down from 4th overall to 6 or 7 (Baltimore and San Fran wanted Ramsey). They could have still gotten Zeke and added ammunition to secure Paxton. They fucked it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FartWaffles 1,857 Posted May 2, 2016 Steelers do well? Anyone? Personally I wasn't much of a fan of their draft class. Underwhelming would be the word I'd use. Burns was one of the biggest reaches in the draft IMO. I did like the Davis and Matakevich picks though. The Cowboys should have traded down from 4th overall to 6 or 7 (Baltimore and San Fran wanted Ramsey). They could have still gotten Zeke and added ammunition to secure Paxton. They fucked it up. There were countless reports that the Ravens wanted to trade up to draft Elliott, so I dunno about that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted May 2, 2016 Stevo kind of hit on it, but new story out that the Ravens did indeed call the Cowboys wanting to trade up for Ramsey. Cowboys counter was apparently ludicrous and Ravens halted any attempts. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000657746/article/ravens-tried-to-trade-with-boys-to-pick-jalen-ramsey?campaign=fb-nf-sf25458849-sf25458849 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted May 2, 2016 I still can't believe Dallas drafted a running back with a top 5 pick. It doesn't matter who's there, you take a position more likely to last 8-10 years. They're going to regret passing on Ramsey. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RazorStar 4,025 Posted May 2, 2016 Cowboys get Jaylon Smith and Ezekiel Elliot, Jags get Jalen Ramsey and Myles Jack. We're gonna be talking about this shit for years. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NaTaS+ 958 Posted May 4, 2016 Jags owned this draft. Ravens did decent, Browns - what the fuck was their game plan? A shorter Braylon Edwards? Another Kam Wimbley at LB? Fuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
butta54 371 Posted May 4, 2016 I think Burns was a first round. Not surprised, and think this is a really pick for a team trying to get more athletic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
