Okudah has a chance at being a full time starter. Steele doesnt, unless one of he or Collins move to OG after the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrance Steele has been in the league for 20 games and started 17 of them, for various issues with our OTs staying on the field. But more than that, this season is shaping up as something really nice, and Steele could be an important piece to that. If we land Okudah, is he a clearly better prospect at this point to Kelvin Joseph? After a bad rookie season and an Achilles tear? I could possibly be convinced. I’m just saying, that trade doesn’t strike me as a no-brainer right now. Edited October 5, 2021 by Nextyearfordaboyz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we oftent play with 3 or 4 CBs, so its not that big a deal to stock up there. They get a lot more playing time than a back up RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why my past self quoted you. But hard pass on any CB with an Achilles blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one that can’t help me in 2021, and whose long term prospects have taken a big hit… I’m very hesitant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Slamman Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I do have some issues w/ the OL… nothing major but I’m not convinced Williams should be starting. And, i also think there is a trade market for williams which could makes sense since i doubt he gets re-signed in offseason given Mc Govern is the better player right now. When La’el returns, could we put him back at LG? This could open up a trade with Williams. But, I’m also hesitant on that given the OL generally playing well as a unit. Chemistry is important. All that being said, Collins did have signs of greatness playing LG. Williams really is our 3rd best OG (4th if we count Collins). Williams had a poor showing at center this preseason so I don’t see him replacing Badass. If we traded him, there’s definitely a market but I’d doubt we’d get better than a 5th for a short term rental. I would love to see how good the OL could be with our 5 best players playing and McGovern playing some FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadaluvsdallas Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Can we start the petition for Will McClay for exec of the year? Still firmly believe his drafting is what kept Jason Garrett’s 8-8 seasons afloat from total disaster. Re-tooling an entire defense in 2 offseason as when given the green light to? https://instagram.com/stories/cowboysrecap/2677526580461580386?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&utm_medium=copy_link Edited October 5, 2021 by canadaluvsdallas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be significant at this point. More than Odukah for sure. Dolphins need OL help in a bad way, send Byron back this way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you trade him for a 2nd rounder, you probably end up turning around and using that pick to replace him. So is that worthwhile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s proven to be up to task thus far, albeit a really small sample size. He’s also super cheap thru next season. Not sure I’m willing to walk away at the moment without getting a known asset in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
