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

Lol,
“Open to looking at” doesn’t exactly scream priority!
That’s more if it’s there, and that’s the best option.

LOL. As stated, word games don't change #2 WR, which is a top priority but enough over this for now. I'll revisit after the draft......
 
Some of these comments are incredible to me. Tolbert is the definition of spare unless you have the lowest of standards. He's a sub-200 lb, 4.5 guy who doesn't play with toughness and who has made numerous crucial mental errors.

We all have our pet cats, but I have no idea what people see in him other than hopium.

He's had 3 full years to prove he deserves the #2 spot, and this with him working out with Dak each offseason, but still can't do it.

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!!

Mingo is like Larry Fitzgerald. Tolbert is like Marvin Harrison. That’s all you need to know.

He only had 16 targets, with only 5 catches and there’s a lot of talk our first or second pick could be a WR. Mingo was here long enough to make more of an impact. He even started a game and only had one target for zero catches.

I've been saying all off-season don't be surprised if they don't take a WR until Day 3, if at all.

You got it. Tolbert showed last season that he is a decent player, not a true #2 if you ask most people, I think, but in their minds?

Mingo will play. You can bet he will be no lower than #4 on the chart.

I wouldn't doubt it they think one of these guys is the #2 and Brooks is a #3.

So you just have your opinion and no actual proof or evidence of what you said?

Because he wasn't in Dallas long enough to prove anything with the limited snaps he got in a new offense and with a backup QB.

There’s evidence based off his performance in Carolina and with us. With Carolina last season with an improving young QB he only had 12 catches for 121 yards and no TDs. They obviously weren’t happy with him and unloaded him. Rush didn’t play that bad and Mingo was given opportunities. When we traded for Amari during the season he made an immediate impact. So you saw enough from Mingo to be comfortable with him at WR2?

post of your career!!!! I could totally see that, it just seems odd that we have all these picks and we could surely get one early! But as we know, we've got a lot of "resources" already at our disposal, and that makes them feel happy.

First thing I was thinking when you made your previous comment, Coop was able to come in and help us right away, you could say that's because he's a better player or what have you, or bigger expectations were for him, so he got targets coming his way. We shall see what happens, I don't think they should overlook this, Dak needs help
 
What else do they have? We hear how good Tolbert is every summer, then the season starts and he's a wasted roster spot.
