Yep. But we have to draft a WR. He’s gonna make the roster, Turpin too. Who’s Mingo gonna beat out? Paris, to me is a better player. This is gonna be a huge camp for Mingo, Tolbert and the rest of the WR besides Turpin, lamb and a draft pick.
Mingo trade was a head scratcher. If you had gave a 5th, considering you had multiple then I could see that. A 4th for some positions like LB have a fairly decent hit rate at. A 4th was just too much. But since we gave it I could see him being kept over a better talent to save face. We got to draft a WR because we need a threat opposite Lamb. There are 3-4 WR who could be worth the 12 pick. I think a big body guy is a better compliment but any of 3 or 4 will take a lot of pressure off lamb. Last year we couldn’t run and had to threats besides lamb and he got a lot of double coverage. We have to stick to the run and make it effective, then a threat opposite lamb and this offense could be really good. The run game helps the oline
im a fan of Turpin. I love guys that can go for 6 any time they touch the ball. Exciting player for sure.
Can you imagine if the Cowboys picked up 6'5", 206 lbs, 4.30 40 time, WR Dont'e Thornton Jr... or ... 5'9", 196 lbs, 4.25 40 time, RB Jaydon Blue ... or ... 5',10", 208 lbs, 4.31 40 time, RB Bhayshul Tuten on this offense? Our offense would automatically become so much faster and loaded with playmakers who can take it to the house on any given play.
Correct I can give them a pass for trying the force for Trey Lance and the trade for Milton because you have to take more risks trying to find your next quarterback and that's 100 percent understandable but for a wide receiver that possibly was going to be cut anyway that there wasn't a whole lot of interest for doesn't make a lot of sense/.. And why they needed to do it at the time a trade because I'm betting he would have been cut he would have been freed this offseason or at least cheaper this offseason than making a mid season trade before the trade deadline....
I was referring more to Campbell on game film should have clarified that, but I did like Mingo's routes last year in the small sample size he had in Dallas, but rush sucked so bad missing him when he was wide open so his ability to get open kind of goes by the wayside. As for what a number two means to me is not what Philly has that's 1a 1b in my mind but how Austin looked with TO. Mingo's size speed and strength should give a chance a being a number two. I was not saying they are number 2 just that i thought they could be.
Geez....I'd hate to see Dak or Mazi without The Dust then.
Yeah, I could have worded that differently. Too much optimizing in calling them solid number 2s. Should have stated I see the potential for them to become 2"s.
That I can buy a little more into. I still disagree overall, but I wont doubt that the potential is there, especially for Mingo. The way that guy is built he is going to get every opportunity in the world to see the field.
This player is not good. His record is abysmal. He avg. catch is less than 10 yds per. How is that possible for a speedster. He will not make the roster.
I've reviewed several of Mingo's NFL games.
Exactly
All the Jones boys do is obtain pawns.
A lot of people here thought Mingo could be a number 1. He was a Deebo Samuel starter kit until he wasn't. We'll see what he is with Dak at QB.
Really? How does it work out when CD gets 200 passes his direction. So all the other receivers got 0 yards for 200 routes.

I don't have a ton to push back on there, its fairly accurate. I agree you don't give up on the guy at this point in time, but you also don't go into the 2025 season with high expectations either. I'd give him maybe a 20% chance of ever establishing himself as a starting caliber WR? Between his blocking ability and general physical skillset he can absolutely be worth a roster spot as a rotational piece. It's also typically not too hard to get speedy 6'2" 220lbs bodies on the field for special teams too.
