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

Personally, l don't know much about Pickens. But, l can say that l'm sick of the "choir boy" approach too. Thirty years of failure can do that to a fan. I've seen my fair share of Cowboy SBs, but it's getting late in my game and l'd like to see AT LEAST one more before checking out. Who cares if the Pope doesn't endorse us!

the entire football world agreed that we needed DTs, LBs, Safties....but yeah, lets go get a WR2....

we also needed a TE, a RT, and Slot CB........

this offense was 11th last year in passing. because they lacked a running game. we threw 4 RBs at the problem, 2 in the draft.

you just got a 1 year rental. if we don't win a championship, then it was not the right trade.

and I guess they shipped pickens some of the Cowboys koolaids, because he is now a top 10 WR, where last year he was 59th in catches, 32nd in yards. 82nd in TDs...
what is wrong with you people?

Oh thats right we need to have a probowl player in every position on who we have in garbage. Thats not how it works.

So who was available for a 3rd at slot CB, DT that would have gotten us to a superbowl.

It's always fun hearing you cry babies that have no solutions.

fact is this team is not ready to compete for championship. not close to the top tier of the teams in the league. not with this defense.

and we drafted those players, and you are assuming they are going to be good. can't every one of the other 31 teams make the same claim?

and I would have preferred to trade up in first round and get graham, who would have a higher impact on the team than a RG, which we could have gotten in mid rounds. maybe not as good as booker, but Mazi -> Graham is a bigger impact, than a RG, the 5th most important offensive line position with slightly lesser player.

and Bell and Mukuamu are what they are in the 4th year in the league.

spend resources on defense. not offense. 21,22,23 we had top 5 offense. 23 being top scoring team. yet nothing to show in post season.

defense wins championship. offense sells tickets and jerseys.

I wanted Graham but how early did he go? U think the team jus was gonna let us trade up all easy lol. U mad about a 3rd round pick but do u really know what we would have had to give up if they even wanted to do the trade?

what!?

its not just DT...that was an example. how about LB? saftey? or even CB that has 3 CBs coming off major injuries. you think those are not needs, but WR 2 is higher need?

and I guess you are hard of hearing (or comprehension). I have said several times making the offense better with crap for defense is not going to lead to post season success. just see 21,22,23....what did that top 5 offense get us? NADA. in 23 we were top scoring team....

so why trade for a position that doesn't lead us to post season success. either trade for defensive player or don't. keep it. specially a trade for a player that's essentially a one year rental!

put more resources on defense.

and its not a strawman jersey comment. Jerry collects all the money for jersey sales. and he loves having Dak, CD, Parsons, and at one point Diggs in the top 20 jersey sales.
every move Jerry makes has a marketing angle to it. even the mingo trade last year, for a team that is full of injuries. going nowhere fast, but seats getting empty, being blamed for not being all in, making a move to bring people back to the stadium. its the truth about jerry. everyone knows (perhaps except you).

and you may not buy a jersey, but you know what. A LOT OF FANS do....

We weren't having any postseason success without a decent #2. In fact, a big reason why we lost to SF in 2023 was because we had no one to threaten the secondary instead of Lamb. And SF new if they could slow him they shut our passing game down

Well yeah. People are supposed to "watch" football, not google the data. It's how I know when the "metrics" are false.

I wish I knew how & had the time to post videos. We could all review some deep balls & re-ask the question what do you believe? What you see or someone's numbers?

the problem with that is that you’re not an analyst. you’re also not compiling data, you’re just watching and honing in on things and discounting others. knowing “metrics are false” is a clear sign you don’t know what you’re talking about. and that’s fine, just no point in me engaging further
 
The draft compensation is not bad actually. The WR room just got a lot better. GP as a #2 with the other guys filling out the rest is about all you could ask for as long attitudes stay in check.

Yup. The rookie considered by almost every expert as the best pass rusher coming out this year. Also a 2nd round pick. We also added Fowler who had 10 sacks last season. The fact that you want to diminish both shows you are just hurt and can't focus on reality. We also just paid Osi huge. We have a big contract tied up in Diggs, we will be paying Bland soon. Parsons obviously.

We have the money to pay the players. Look over at the eagles and the salaries they have on offense. This idea we can't pay people is tired.

No proof its a rental at all. You need that to be the narrative to make your point because your point doesn't have legs on its own.

You are just whining. You value a 3rd so highly yet you discredit the players we just spent a 2nd and a 3rd on who play on the side of the ball you are crying about.

i’m all for differing opinions, but the refusal to acknowledge the obvious is maddening

C'mon Proof. Metrics are influenced by human interpretations. Statistics don't provide context. When the numbers don't line up with what's on film, it's not the film that's wrong.

Nothing personal, I've just gotta be true to what I see. If you see otherwise, I'm not taking it personal.
 
Welp at least Pickens wouldn't let Jaire Alexander push and be overly physical with him like CeeDee allowed. Maybe he will bring some dog to the offense lol. I like Ceedee Lamb btw. I just didn't like how we responded to Jaire pushing him around in the playoffs a few years ago.

Pickens is a true definition of a "crash out" player lol.

holy cow. Your plan was for the cowboys to trade up to #4 overall?

With what? This year and next years first and that probably wouldn’t get it done.

It’s hard to take you seriously when that’s what you are arguing for.

Especially if we have a good season and they're late 3rd and 4th Round Picks. We weren't going to find a better WR2 option than this at this price.

that’s a much more reasonable and nuanced take
