    Really the picks at 12 being talked about seem to be NT williams, OLB kindle or graham and FS earl thomas.
    I think we may have a chance to actually trade down and not lose much.
    If CJ Spillar or Dez Bryant are still on the board at 10 I see several suitors there.

    CJ Spillar both 49ers and Seahawks have been linked to spillar. 49ers are right after us and the seahawks are next. I can see Seattle giving a 3rd or 4th round pick to jump 49ers and get Spillar.

    It appears Jerry Jones wants Dez, and even though dallas doesn't pick until 27th Jerry gives away next year picks like candy. I can see him giving 2 first round picks for Dez. If not Dallas, I can see other interested suitors.
    I don't think we are giving Dez's issues.

    I agree the only way I see we may have the oppurtonity is with spiller or bryant on the board otherwise I don't see any players that would be deemed "special" still there at 12 (unless clausen falls)

    I would trade down in a heartbeat if it can be pulled off.....if Dallas wants in your talking a 2nd this year, and a 1st next year, and something else.....to go from late late 1st to early 1st has a price....I would still love to trade down a few and get an extra pick and still get Thomas...12 for Thomas seems a little high...but 15+ it doesnt

    I'm all for trading but as another poster stated it is easier said than done. We could still pick up a good OLB later in the 1st round and a 3rd/4th rounder would allow us to address our multiple needs.
