If it was a 2nd, would you like the Cooper trade?

[Cowboy Brian]

Honestly, I am not fuming about this trade. I don't think we would've been in range to grab N'Keal Harry, and we likely would've been picking between 14-20 and grabbed a WR to develop.

Cooper is an immediate add who due to the synergies from him being on the field, will open up the field for more plays from Swaim and Beezy, as a result it will allow Gallup to develop quicker and play against weaker WRs, in combination, this will allow Dak and Zeke to run the ball more effectively.

I think this board is fuming largely because of the stigma around a 1st round pick. If this was a 2nd, I'd say great move.

Wouldn't LIKE it, but would certainly understand it a lot better.

A receiver is one of the last issues with this team, honestly.

Would not have liked it but it would have been acceptable

Bottom line for me is that I don't think Dak is a franchise QB so I would have been saving all my resources to try and get that
Trading away my rd 2 pick would have limited my options severely

In addition I think s big issue on offense is a great TE not a good WR.

I disagree on your last point.

Swaim is performing at a pace that will allow him to top Witten's production in the receiving game last season. He's doing well. WR was clearly a bigger need than TE.

I could stomach a 2nd rounder a lot easier than a high first.

I like it with the 1st.

All depends on how high.

If this costs us N'Keal Harry, I agree... but the rest of the WR class? I don't think so. I think Cooper is better than pretty much every other guy coming out

Yep and Dak is performing like Romo

 

[MikeT22]

It would've been much better than giving up a first. But I'd still be concerned about Cooper's downturn in production since 2016.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I might have understood a 2nd. A 3rd would have been better.

 

[darthseinfeld]

3rd max. You dont give up picks that are supposed to be cheap top end starters for a guy you are going to pay 15 million plus to

1st and 2nd rounders are supposed to be top end starters

 

[Cowboy Brian]

I didn't say he was better than Witten.... I said he is performing just fine at TE1

WR1? We had nothing.

 

[glimmerman]

It seems like we were going WR in the first round of the draft this year. If Cooper was there mid ways through the draft when we pick then we would have chosen him anyways.

 

[RoyalCowboy]

The Seahawks and Eagles were willing to give 2nd round picks but Stephen Jones said hell no, he ours. Here's a first round pick, lol. Guess they really like Cooper. I think he'll be fine.

 

[Alexander]

It is tough to evaluate if you think the QB is anything like his rookie season.

I would hope people realize that perception is false and start looking at what the player is now.

Usually good players get better as they go along, not worse.

 

[visionary]

I like it with the 1st.

In fact if Oakland had said they will agree to a second @waving monkey minkry would have cancelled the deal

"I like the deal with the first or the deal is off"

Maybe @waving monkey is actually Stephen

Hmmm.....

 

[John813]

Yes . Like the player but that's a steep price . Especially with how well the team does in round 1 in the draft

 

[Cowboy Brian]

He was the 4th overall pick in 2015, and still just 24.

all humor aside this is a solid trade

Yes he'll be fine

The cowboys won't
