How hard will the Cowboys try to sell us on guys like Mingo and Tolbert?

[Coogiguy03]

We used a 4th round pick on Mingo last season, they had a 2nd round grade on him during the draft years ago. We didn't see him get a lot of targets, but it still remains that they had a high grade, and spent a 4th round pick on him.

As for Tolbert, they're selling us that he had the most touchdowns for a WR on this team with 7 I believe it was. If he did 7 last season, just imagine (in their minds) how much he could improve, maybe it'll be 17!!

With that said, we obviously have a need for a WR #2 who can offset some of the attention placed on Lamb. Do you believe they'll try to sell us that we don't need a WR early in the draft because of these two players???? Please give your thoughts..

Remember to think like the Jonses!!

Remember, Stephen recently said we needed an "explosive" #2 WR. To say that with Tolbert and Mingo on the team speaks for itself.
Hint: he ain't on the team (lol)

I love that you brought this point up, but MAN, you'll hear Stephen say that, and the coaches/Jerry will be so proud and thankful/satisfied with the "guys we already have" in the locker room!

Lots of hope for Mingo.

I’ve been one of his few fans on here.

He has an excellent draft Bio and skill set.

Where does he fit at with this offense is my question?? We need more explosiveness and they're wanting to get a mate to go with Lamb. Is the battle next with he and Tolbert?

Mingo WR 2

That’s a ton of speed on that side of the line.

draft grades are not exact science. but the mistake cowboys made, is that mingo was in the league for 2 years. how you graded him back when is totally irrelevant. you have NFL tape. you have coaches who know him and it showed he is not NFL Calibur player. so his grade should have been an 8th round grade!!! we paid too much for a player that is obviously not worth it. mistake. stupid stupid stupid.

tolbert is a good WR4, and decent WR3...he is not WR2....so he is here another year. they let him walk and in comes the next guy.

 

[Creeper]

Considering they gave up a 4th round pick for Mingo, I would say he has to do better than Brooks, at least. If not, what a waste of a draft pick in a draft where the 4th round is going to be valuable still.

For the most part, I agree with this. I was one of the idiots now sportin’ a little egg on my face by slating pre-draft, “Mingo could be a stud.” Sometimes you just miss.

I wouldn’t toss the guy in the scrap heap yet, but based on body of work and PFF numbers regarding separation & other key factors,I wouldn’t set the bar too high.

I think the Cowboys go WR @ 12 in part due to the BPA just may be a receiver at that pick. But boy, if they don’t get a WR early, Jerry & Jr. are gonna try to convince you this WR room is on par with Viks when they had Randy Moss, Chris Cater, and Jake Reed.

and that WR room won nothing.

You've been around this forum long enough to know it doesn't take much to sell this fanbase on anything.

This will be interesting to watch in TC and PS games. I am giving him a chance. No doom and gloom complaints here.
We need to see the direction of this offense and if the run game truly is a priority to open up the pass game.
I am not expecting miracles though from the team overall.

In before the "it doesn't matter with our QB" posts.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Does that really matter?

It doesn’t because I can honestly see them not drafting a receiver if it’s not done in the first and then they will back peddle those comments.

 

[Redsfan_83]

I don't think they try to sell us on anything, I truly don't think they give a crap what fans think

My point wasn’t to find a winner (you missed the point). Just thinking of the best RECEIVER ROOM comp that Jerry will sell to you guys.

If they go Golden in round one, this years John Ross, all we will hear is how Mingo is as good as McMillen.

 

[baltcowboy]

Mingo and Tolbert are 3rd, 4th or 5th receivers. The problem with the Cowboys receivers last season was they had no number 2. Cooks was getting paid big bucks for two seasons and was disappointing. Give the Cowboys a good 2nd receiver it opens up the offense.
