Happy with Pickens .......... ain't even close to be honest

They wanted too much for Bateman. He isn't "there" yet, but is an improving player. Part of the problem for him is that his QB isn't a great passer. Cheap contract for two more years was also a positive. Pickens is a superior player.

Cowboys made the right decision and got the better talent.

I'm happy they went with Pickens.

This board would be offline if they traded for bateman instead of pickens.

I’m confused why Bateman was even a option. Ravens need help at receiver….if they want to get rid of a former first rounder I’d be cautious about it.

I feel like we have Bateman in Tolbert. Bateman is better but not who I had in mind as to upgrade our receiving group.

Bateman was a pawn to get Pickens.
Jerry schooled them all. Even our naysayer fans.

Great job Jerry.

Pickens > Bateman

I feel Bateman is basically TWill

Pickens is a better fit and better player. We have a hands catcher and a deep threat. Huge catch radius which can be good news for the poor RedZone offense.

Pickens > Bateman

Don’t be afraid to add more “ > ” between the two players. It’s warranted. Two different class of wr’s.

Although Bateman may be a more Dak friendly wr…Pickens is definitely more talented

I live in the Baltimore area, Bateman is basically Tolbert. His big plays happen when Lamar escapes the pocket. Supposedly Bateman also wants an extension. That is why the Ravens are considering trading him.

Great job Jerry.

Once again Jerry playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers.

 

[Coogiguy03]

He's the EXACT kind of player we would have over reached for!!!!!

 

[Flamma]

As far as I can tell, the Ravens didn't pick up his 5th year option. They gave him a two year 12M dollar contract instead. I wouldn't give more than a 5th rounder at best for him.

Pickens was the better move.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Pickens was the better move.

Wouldn't dislike adding Bateman if we needed a #3, but he is not a #2

Man, I'm not gonna lie. Pickens is way dirtier than people realize. He's never played with a good QB. At some point, there'll be some fan debate about WR1 and 2 between Lamb and Pickens.

Lamb is probably a more complete receiver, but, man, Pickens can throttle the offense when we're ahead, or get us out of jams from behind with his big play ability.

He's been one of my favorite players, not because of statistics. But because his potential is enormous. He just has to rein in the outside noise and focus on being the best player he can be.
