We traded a Top 5 pick for a WR

[Cowboy Brian]

Cooper is going to be good down the road but the Raiders are laughing at us. A top 5 pick would have been a good start at a QB. Dak Prescott is a joke.

Cooper was a #3 pick.... so

 

[iamliko22]

I guess the theory was if you do this you see if you have a real qb or not....


What does everyone think?

 

[RS12]

But if the Cowboys were dead set on getting a WR in this draft anyway,

Which is nothing but sheer idiocy

 

[J817]

Well, 40% of top 5 picks bust (around that since 2000, think slightly higher)

Cooper flashed #1 WR potential tonight.

That trade isn't the problem.

It will be if a top tier QB is available at 5.

 

[Cowboy Brian]

Only in Dallas can 5 catches for 58 and a TD can be a flash of #1 talent.

Consider it is his first game

Consider how effective the other WRs and Zeke was in the passing game despite idiotic playcalling.

Yeah, he opened it up.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

I agree!

I didn't like the trade to start out with. But now that cooper is a cowboy, and he was productive, I'm a fan.

 

[CowboysDrew]

If that was their logic they are dumber than I could have imagindd

That was their logic. Jerry said it in the pregame. They were going to spend their first on a WR, 100%. 2019 has an abysmal WR class. They chose to plan for the "future and present" by trading for Cooper.

 

[CPanther95]

Spending a Top 10 pick on a WR is just as dumb as spending a Top 10 pick on a RB.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

We will lose at least four of the next five putting us at 4-9, in line for a Top 5 pick.

And our doofus of a GM traded it for a WR.

This is what happens when you panic and make an emotional decision.

we look like a 3-10 and 4-12 team......we can't score more than 15 points a game....

 

[Sydla]

Titans 3rd down conversions says the trade is a problem. Draft at the top is loaded on D.

Bingo.

Stud DTs at the top too. Game changers like Oliver and the kid from Bama.

I am so PO’d at this trade. It has nothing to do with Cooper. It just was a dumb, lopsided trade.

 

[cds99]

Cooper was a #3 pick.... so

So..... I get that. He will be good for us. You wouldn't rather have a QB who can utilize him. Dak can't get the damn ball to him no more than 10-15 yards down the field. Lol

I swear, he’s got some terminal diagnosis and is just swinging for the fences now.

That trade isn't the problem.

The guys on The Ticket right now are raving about Cooper. Apparently he & Beasley we’re open all night.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Cooper might help this offense in 2 years when we have a new coach and QB. Doesn't do anything now.

 

[LucaBrasi]

Very true, although Cooper was a positive.

You are nothing and going nowhere without a qb. Not sure I have any confidence in them finding one

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

On who...Herbert?

You really want a QB named Herbert for the next 10 years?

Lol, as long as the name is not Dak I am good.

 

[Jake]

And our doofus of a GM traded it for a WR.

I'm sure he consulted with his son.

 

[cds99]

Maybe, maybe not..its a crap shoot

You like your chances with Dak or a potential top QB draft pick? Can't believe I would even ask that.

 

[Sydla]

That was their logic. Jerry said it in the pregame. They were going to spend their first on a WR, 100%. 2019 has an abysmal WR class. They chose to plan for the "future and present" by trading for Cooper.

Then they are dumb.

Beyond dumb.

 

[Mobinvans]

Jerry has all his eggs in Dak's basket. He's desperate. He's aging rapidly. He's scared to death of a 5-year rebuild at 76 years old. He doesn't want to admit hires wrong.

Reality is setting in. Not sure if he knows what to do.

I think thats a pretty accurate post....man is gonna die knowing he ran the Cowboys into the ground
