TRADED Cowboys trade for George Pickens and 2027 6th for 2026 3rd and 2027 5th

[thunderpimp91]

I rather would have traded for a defensive player. all the offense is not going to translate to winning in post season.

This really is the issue. I like the trade, I think it move the Cowboys in the direction of more wins, but we still neglected parts of the defense and have total question marks at both tackle spots. I still struggle to view this team as a serious contender, and it feels like another early exit playoff team.

Can someone make a thread titled “MountaineerCowboys was right. Schotty was hired to be the least in control coach in NFL history”?

Then fill it up with comments about how right I usually am about these things.

Thanks, peeps!

what!? you ok? drinking this morning already...you must be on vacation

This makes zero sense.

A 3rd for a one-year guy with major character issues on a team that isn't going anywhere this year anyway.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

That would be a lot of money invested in your starting WRs.

Who cares, its not costing u anything........

Is Jerry ready to admit Mingo was a bad trade? I don’t see how he gets on the field with Tolbert and Turpin

Jerry Jones might publicly admit the Jonathan Mingo trade was a poor one but everyone should keep such a personal admission like that from him in perspective. If the media followed up that admission with the question 'Do you think another general manager for this team would have traded for Mingo?', Jones would respond that it was the best move anyone in the league would have also made at the time.

If he leaves after 1 year what is our comp pick likely to be?

Just depends on his play.

If he fails to click with Prescott or doesn't grow up. Then he may be bounce around the league like Claypool/Johnson on cheap deals which would be no comp pick.

If he shows #1 talent and grows up, 3rd round ez.

 

[CowboyMort]

Lamb
Pickens
Tolbert
Mingo
Turpin
Flournoy

You like? Would you change the order at all?

Anyone who mentions Campbell catches these hands.

That would be the order I would think it will end up being as well.

win the division? with this defense!!! really. how? we are still behind washington and eagles.

Washington’s roster is nothing special. If we’re still behind them, it’s because of the coaches and the organization behind them.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Dude not only do we not know if he’s a 1 year rental, but we desperately needed a #2 receiver. It was the teams biggest need

teams biggest need was DT, a good DT, not Mazi and a 7th round pick. we still have holes in LB group. but I am sure you are going to tout Shermar. we have two UDFA at saftey and the other two are cooked and all three CBs are coming off injuries. and you are saying #2 WR was the biggest need?!!!

geez people...

Especially when they could have traded up and got a young TMAC for a 3rd round pick....it would of cost less....and got a future #1 WR.....but oh no...thats not how Jerry does business.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

steal? here is our 3rd rounders over the past few years

Cooper Beebe
Overshown
Tolbert
Osa
Pollard
Gallup
Lewis

the only miss was Gallimore...

so its way way more than 25%...but people just tend to make up numbers in their head without actually looking at the facts.

And they are on inexpensive multi-year contracts too, which is critical with our suddenly cheapskate owners.

depends on the contract he gets.

If he shows #1 talent and grows up, 3rd round ez.

If the latter, you gonna give him a huge contract bigger than CeeDee"s?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

They are going to look really really dumb if he's out of here in a year.

as if we don't look dumb already or did you forget about Lance and Mingo trades!

 

[Bigtex67]

Keep in mind we still have one more substantive trade left.

Needs to be for a stud 1T run stuffer.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Washington’s roster is nothing special. If we’re still behind them, it’s because of the coaches and the organization behind them.

Or because their quarterback is vastly superior to ours.

 

[Kingofholland]

A third. A third that could very well be high in the round.

For a headcase rental that Tomlin couldn't corral.

This is why Jerry's Cowboys never win anything.

Pickens is a talented player, it'll be interesting what a future contract looks like for him. If he has a good season and ends up being a rental it's a possibility a 3rd round comp pick comes back if they don't re-sign him.

It's absolutely a gamble, but I'm glad this wasn't a 1st or 2nd rounder. For additional comparative context Jalen Tolbert and Michael Gallup were 3rd round picks. It took Tolbert into his 3rd season to contribute. Gallup had 2 good seasons here.

 

[Carson]

Who’s the QB though?

The 3-5 guy that’s an injury waiting to happen?

We may lose a lot of games 42-38. But lamb and Pickens will eat … even if it’s garbage time

 

[BigBlacKahuna]

I like it!

They made the trade to improve their chances of going somewhere.
