If Jerry trades any of those picks for anything other than more picks, dam!So they said we sucked before the trade and now we suck more. That's not a great argument against acquiring assets and saving 47mpy in cap.
Best I can do is a 32 year old right end. He made the pro bowl in 2018 as an alternate if that helps.If Jerry trades any of those picks for anything other than more picks, dam!

Yeah sounds like a positive.So they said we sucked before the trade and now we suck more. That's not a great argument against acquiring assets and saving 47mpy in cap.
Absolutely. I think Jerry was gun shy about having the highest paid QB & player in football plus the highest paid non QB in football and still struggling to compete .I made the similar point that the Prescott contract has really messed with our cap and maybe had a hand in some choices.
We still have the option to trade the two number one picks for a WR who can then blow his knee out in his first game with us.Best I can do is a 32 year old right end. He made the pro bowl in 2018 as an alternate if that helps.
Dallas is after all a failed franchise with no future.Honestly, I can’t say which team is worse off after the trade. The Packers aren’t exactly a talent-laden squad awaiting that one final piece. They had three pro bowlers last year, and not one was the quarterback. As of today, with no first round picks over the next two years and large amounts of dead money, they have almost no way of improving their team in the short term.
And Dallas is, well, Dallas.
The problem we have is that we do not have a General Manager that has any clue about what to do to build a contender. Jethro will fritter away the 2 picks that will be more like 2 second round picks and you know how great we are with Devin round picks.We still have the option to trade the two number one picks for a WR who can then blow his knee out in his first game with us.
I think we could have paid all 3 guys and the compensation we received was pitiful.The issue is so many fans, even on this forum, thinking we could pay all of these guys. Someone had to go - Prescott, CeeDee, Parsons, etc. One of them was going to be the odd man out. Parsons helped make himself that.
You can't have a franchise QB contract + another franchise QB-like contract hitting your cap. Not how it works. We got two firsts for Micah, probably could have had a better trade with a worse team a couple months ago. Jerry waited and played Micah's lame game - now we got a lesser deal. But it is still 2 firsts.
of course it will take time to really grade the trades. on the surface, we lost this trade. we gave away a top 3 defensive player, a first team defensive player, for yet to be decided and known and a whole bunch of risk specially picking that low in the draft.
Not at all. There is enough cap here and now, they could get rid of him next year. Won't happen.I made the similar point that the Prescott contract has really messed with our cap and maybe had a hand in some choices.
