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

[J-man]

I don't get the problem?

We all knew that a new #2 WR was desperately needed. They addressed the problem and they made 2 trades to try and get a good one and deepen the WR room. I get that there was a gap in time between the signings but essentially they spent a 3rd, a 4th and a 2027 5th for Pickens, Mingo and a 2027 7th. That isn't a bad thing.

They are learning how to trade again. Give them a break

Too early to declare it a bad move.

why? he has 0 TDs in three years. was 6th on his team among WRs and 10th in recieving. he couldn't even get an accidental TD in 51 games in NFL.
it was a bad trade. his production past two years is worse than UDFAs we have on this team. just see Turpin.

its not too early. it was a bad trade the minute it happened. quick trying to pump sunshine up everyone's arse...I get it. you are loyal. everything is awsome, all the time. but a dose of reality once in a while is a good thing

I was just thinking about this today. Pickens' arrival means Mingo will struggle to make the team.

Right now four receivers are locks- Lamb, Pickens, Tolbert, and Turpin. The 5th and 6th receivers need to contribute on special teams, something both Jalen Brooks and Ryan Flournoy do that Mingo does not.

Right now it looks like Mingo will need to beat Tolbert- who had 7 TD grabs last season- outright to have a role.

Mingo has had 0 TDs in three years in the league. that is a ZERO.

I still don’t see how this is a big deal

If any other team traded a 4th for Mingo no one would bat an eye

that's what you think. everyone would say that team was stupid and the teams fans would say that was stupid.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

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.

This a 1000 times over.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Possible, some would say probable. I say, with an improved OL, RBs and WRs groups, there will not be any excuses. Dak can be very good, he needs a coach in his ear throughout the game. Can't leave him alone with that deer in the headlights look that he gets. They leave him alone too much. QB coach needs to be on the sideline and not the box

so when we lose games 35-31....whose fault is that?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Many 4th rounders don't last long in the NFL

but what if, instead of trading for a player that sucks. known to have sucked. we used it to trade up and get a good player in the 2nd!!! wouldn't that be better?

come on now!!!

 

[Ranching]

so when we lose games 35-31....whose fault is that?

I'll tell you when I watch. If we give up 35 points, there will be plenty of blame to go around. I'll take 31 points a game by our offense, will you?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

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

they don't even think we could use the "throw away pick" to trade up and get a player we may want more...like move up in the 2nd round and grab a Jayden Higgins (WR, so we don't have to trade a 3rd round pick) or Judkins, or grab grant in the first, trade up and grab Savaneiia (guard) from AZ. or TJ sanders or Collins DT from texas. nah, that never comes to their mind!!! mingo, who will not be on the team in 26. will probably be 6th on the depth chart is a gold mine to them.

 

[TwentyOne]

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

If it were good why trade for Pickens?

You remember 6 days ago Stephen told us we already have 3 WRs on the roster that are able to play the 2nd WR spot.

All of a sudden we trade for a 4th guy.

Well dont think i am stupid or naive. Stephen isnot very bright and for sure i dont believe the stuff he is telling us.

But it needs to be pointed out again and again and again. So nobody believes those guys anymore.


Another thing is: Thats the way you throw away resources. Trying to fill one roster spot by trading or drafting 4 guys. No wonder we are one of the worst franchises in the league.

Mingo is the type of player you trade a 6th or 7th for. CAR was going to cut him anyway.

 

[DizzyT]

Yes, forget it ever happened.

 

[Cumart21]

This was Philly's trade for Dotson:

Wash gets a 3rd and two 7ths
Phi gets Dotson and a 5th

Terrible trade for Philly and I'd rather have the Mingo trade. Whether or not it pans out remains to be seen but it's not the worst trade in the world either.

 

[Canada180]

20 percent of 4th round picks become starters or key contributors to nfl teams for four seasons.

I don’t think the trade was a good one but there are a lot worse ones

This a very good point. Which leads to the point that people are up in arms that we gave up a 4th for Mingo and that precious 4th would only have a 20% chance at being better than Mingo!!

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

Did I moss something? Did someone suggest we are supposed to forget about the Mingo trade. Or is this another imaginary problem?

 

[KJJ]

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

Young started coming on last season and they obviously didn’t see Mingo as a viable weapon for him.
