I don’t know about the smokescreen part, but..
Every single Cowboys beat writer and “insider” stated yesterday during the Live Draft feeds that LaPorta is their top TE. Other than the media (who just guesses) and your own bias, where did you get Kincaid was “our guy”? Kincaid wasn’t even the consensus TE. I’ve seen all four TEs mocked to Dallas.
If you don’t like Mazi as the pick, fine. But let’s not act like it was a bad pick. Dal biggest prob last year was stopping the run.. so Dal drafted the top run defender in the draft! Hard to be upset ab that.
