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

Yep everyone is different. A torn hammy is one thing. Was supposedly separated from the bone though. Ooof.

You’ve got the mental thing, plus very likely being told not to run (I specifically remember Jerry saying “we don’t WANT Dak to run” a few days before the injury). He ain’t running much this year.

I really couldnt know what to expect. Folks can say what they want about Prescott and his shortcomings, same with the team overall, but the season is absolute toast if he goes down early similar to last year or 2020.

A complete tear from the bone of a hamstring is better than being partially torn. At least as far as healing goes.

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

When you look at Dallas 4th round picks in recent history V Fehoko Jr. , Jake Fergason, Jabril Cox, Josh Ball, Reggie Robinson, T Biadasz, I think Mingo is as good as any of these players.

Seriously though, both guys might work out well here. I'm ok with them taking swings at wr. At least now it's REAL effort, not talk. Time will tell if we got the player right.

Pickens is the kind of rental you make when the team on the precipice of competing and need that one more piece. This team isn't close to competing bc of the defense. I just get tired of watching the Jones morons make the same errors over and over. They don't learn from mistakes. So, now we have our Irvin, Harper, and Aikman. Maybe one for these RBs becomes Emmitt Smith and we can then relive the 90's. Oh wait..... the defense.

So since we suck at drafting in the 4th round anyway, might as well throw away the pick?

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.

That trade looked bad the day we made it. It just keeps looking worse.

He wasn’t worth a 4th round pick. In 8 games all he had was 5 catches for 46 yards. We saw why Carolina got rid of him.

We saw a bad qb that couldn't throw him the ball and we saw a big physical receiver that blocks well and can catch the ball.

Sure he is when you look at what players were available. You might have your 3rd receiver for pick 114 and he is on a rookie deal. Look at his production in the SEC when Dart was his qb.

No, you’re supposed to obsess over it for the rest of your life until you are reduced to a Gollum-like state, choking out the words “4th round! 4th round!”

His production in college doesn’t matter. He regressed in Carolina and they moved on. We traded for him in hopes he could be our WR2. I would have been okay with the trade for a 6th or 7th but we overpaid.

I mean if you think trading a 4th round pick for the Panthers backup WR (he had been beaten out of the starting lineup by a practice squad player) is a good trade then I am sure there are no shortage of teams who would gladly part ways with their failed backups for a 4th.

I think that there is nothing wrong with trading for Mingo. We will see what happens, these receivers will be in a battle to get on the field.

I don't think it was a bad trade because I don't value a 4th round pick worth 66 points.

The only value a 4th round pick has is to move up in the 3rd or 2nd round. Since Dallas never does that, might as well take a shot with Mingo.

I just don't put as much value on that pick compared to others.

the only thing I can say about Mingo in the NFL is that he's not really had a legit go of things with a legit QB throwing to him.

2023: CAR: Young struggled his rookie year.
2024: CAR: Young didn't do much better
2024: DAL: 8 games in a new system with a backup QB.

I'm honestly curious what he can put together with a full off-season and TC with Dak

Upside: solid WR3
Downside: wasted 4th round pick
