The costly Lance trade

[kskboys]

All I did was say I'd like to see that list.

So far you haven't provided one.

Well, there's been 2 in the last two years in Trance and Mingo.

Barron, though it was bust for bust.

Cassell. Just a stupid trade.

I thought the Amari trade was very dumb, though he wasn't a bust.

Tavon Austin.

The only trade I can think of that we won was the Parsons trade, trading back a spot or 2 and picking up an extra 3rd. Sure was dangerous though.

He might I think he got better this year but you’re right picking him where we did was dumb

That is so easy to say but the Cowboys wanted him and didn't think he would be there in the 3rd.

Will he ever be worth a 2? Hard to say but the answer is probably no in the eyes of the fans. So many people made up their mind about immediately when he was drafted and nothing will be able to change it. Some of what drives that is TE's are judged by receptions and touchdowns. Schoon isn't that guy, but he did show he could be if targeted. That wasn't the primary reason he was drafted by the Cowboys.

You clearly didn't understand the Cooper trade. It's FAR FAR too early to make any judgement on the Mingo trade.

We have won many trades the last couple of years. You just don't want to see them. Cooks. Gilmore. Guyton. Hendershot (depends on who they get). Hankins and Thomas (got in same trade). Parsons...

Which was why it was a bad pick. You can find lots of players later in the draft to serve as blockers and short yardage receivers
when you use a second it is go get a guy who can really be a threat in the passing game. Schoon will NEVER be that

We are left wondering what the heck was the logic behind this trade.

Not his size and ability. And they felt he could develop into a receiving TE. He showed he could when Ferg was out.

It's unlikely we will ever know. There will always be an endless number of theories. But the truth? Probably never sees the light of day.

And the truth won't be any kind of explanation Jerry gives. I don't trust anything he says any further than I can throw my house.

I would trade our 2nd round pick every year. We're just gonna get a backup TE with it.

Didn't know that DeMarcus Lawrence, Trevon Diggs, and Marshawn Kneeland were also backup TEs. That's awesome.
