So we're just supposed to forget the whole Mingo for a 4th rounder?

[Rayman70]

Actually Mingo and Pickens were born in the same year and are both 24 years old. I will say it again what is the fixation this board has on 4th round picks is comical. Our receiving unit is literally top flight now with Mingo now able to settle in to a Noah Brown role. CeeDee as the main man, Pickens as the X. Tolbert getting one on one coverage with the third corner or safety, and Turpin as the gadget guy. We cooking with grease.

Both young. Good post

some people obviously need reminding of the continual stupidity of Big and Little Enos.

Well, that will never change. We are well aware of Big turd, and little turd but we also gotta call it as it is when they do something good. This off-season has been a huge effort in improving the team. A major change in thinking. It's real.

It's not a bad deal to have Mingo for pick 114. Your post is comical.

Correct. It's a terrible deal.

 

[kskboys]

If someone would stop the homers from constantly attacking, this sure would be a better place.

 

[plymkr]

Cmon man...its only a 4th. Hit or miss. Same as Mingo... hit or miss. At least we swung

Right. It’s done and the only thing left to do is hope Mingo balls out and surprises everyone. I don’t think we should hold the player accountable for Jerry trading a 4th for him. The draft is over, Mingo is in the team, let’s get behind him and hope for the best. 4th round picks don’t make or break rosters.

 

[goshann]

that fourth could have gotten us a better RB for starters
or maybe a better DT
so anyone thinking it was worthless is an idiot

Think they would have taken blue in 4th
But I didn’t like the mingo trade to be clear

 

[rambo2]

Correct. It's a terrible deal.

Lol, I highly disagree.

 

[Ranching]

no, homers have no idea at all
they never learn

We don't have to learn to be loyal and enjoy the game. Figured you as one to be strong on loyalty.

When I was young I asked my parents if I could go to a Motley Crue concert with my friends. Dad gave a quick, “NO”. For days I kept bringing up how my friends got to have fun while I didn’t get to do jack.

I thought I’d make him feel bad by bringing it up again when a bunch of my buddies were at my house. He calmly stood up, headed toward the door, but just prior to leaving he peered right through me and said, “I hear if you keep *****ing about it, it gets better”.

I think that sentiment is applicable for the continued fussing about something that went down in November of 2024.

Mingo just bumped Tolbert. I dint like Tolbert, I think hes a waste of a roster spot. Ever since the Green Bay where he cost our boys the #1 seed because he didn't know where to line up.

I don't see that. I think it is a legitimate point. The Cowboys are a team that supposedly builds through the draft. If Mingo doesn't play then it seems to me they wasted a valuable pick to acquire him.

With that 4th round pick we could have found another DT like Tonka Hemmingway, or Josh Farmer. Or RB Dylan Sampson. Or WRs Jaylin Lane or Jalen Royals. Or LB Teddye Buchanan. Or DEs Jack Sawyer or Barryn Sorrrell. Not saying these are great players but a lot of folks on this forum wanted some of these guys in this draft.

The Cowboys don't sign free agents so they need to find their starters in the draft.

Tolbert is Wr3. Mingo is Wr5 with Turpin sandwiched in there

Feels like imho Jerry competed with himself on that one, iirc he probably, like the sf qb we shall not mention could have been had for like a 6th or 7th . As always hoping for the best but as much as Pickens seems like a good trade value feels like we got fleeced on mingo.

 

[Stash]

If you really feel that way then you are 100% clueless and need help. Mingo won’t even be on the active roster after this trade and will probably not even make it out of camp

That’s quite a hot take.

I have to think Mingo gets at least one opportunity to work with the starting quarterback this season.

 

[JW82]

I did not like the Mingo trade, however he was probably at the same level of the receivers that went in the 4th round this year. So I'm not losing sleep over it.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I mean we all did a double blink last year when that trade was announced. It’s comical at this point. Can someone please post the Bevis and Butthead pic.

exactly. all the moves jerry makes are in a silo, addressing issues at the moment. people were not filling seats in the stadium last year, so he makes a trade hoping to generate some hope. a name people may like. just to get through last season....and now, he makes a move to generate interest and fill seats for 25 season. we will do something in 26, when we get there. who cares.

so a player, with all of 17 catches two years in a row. 0 TDs in 3 years...and you say its a good trade? we could have had a better player in UDFA...in fact we did. his name is Turpin.
it was an absolutely stupid move.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with the trade. He fits on the team as a 3 or 4 receiver. The upside is good. Stupid evaluation on your part.

It's so strange how you think it's OK to be exceptionally rude to people just because they don't agree w/ you.
