Does this trade look as smart when Denver flips a better receiver (Sanders) for a 3rd round pick?

This is why the Cowboys suck. They overpay for marginal talent and then excuse it with “first round picks might not pan out” and “potential to contribute right away.”

Amari isn’t right in some way, and the Cowboys overpaid…

For all the talk of that first round pick not winning the Cowboys any games this year, it’s really doubtful that Cooper wins the Cowboys any games this year either.

It’s better not to waste resources like first round draft picks on guys who might not produce to a degree that positively affects the outcome of your season. Especially for a team that is a half game behind a wild card slot and effectively two games out of their division and has beaten three teams who don’t look like…

They’d almost be better off keeping Coop because that’s going to be less of a sunk cost than your plan.

Being bad at drafting isn’t a good reason to toss a first round pick out for a questionable player.

You would think not; then again, supposedly nobody was dumb enough to hire Gruden again in the first place.

I’m not a Cowboys fan, but I don’t see what they thing they’re running for this year.

Yeah, but if he’s not resigned by the Cowboys, they wasted a first round pick on a guy who didn’t even help them win the season he was here.

Like I said, he’s a tough guy to determine if he’s worth extending, but bringing him into your team at this point with that valuable of an asset likely means he’ll be resigned, or…

I would assume that part of that is that Cooper isn’t on his last strike and isn’t ridiculously expensive this season for the production that can be (hopefully) expected of him (if he’s right, he’s 4.5 catches for about 70 yards. But it’s hard to say he’s been right since the start of last season). And the Cowboys…

If he was that bad, they could have cut him at minimal cap loss. His contract was structured where there was little signing bonus and guaranteed money. And even then, if they had to keep him around lest they face a massive dead money hit, his cost doesn’t change if they bench him because he’s not a good start, in…

Actually, it was Jim Tomsula and Chip Kelly. So stupid and desperate are really to blame.

So, did the Niners choose the wrong starter two seasons in a row since they benched Kaepernick for Gabbert? Or should Gabbert not have gotten another chance in the league after his numbers were worse than Kaep’s in the same offense?

Nevermind that at no point in his career has Gabbert been even league average by…

Better, their next match is against Liechtenstein on Tuesday.

This was also the draft where La’ell Collins fell out because of serious character issues. Forgot about that.

They’re in no hurry to start his service time clock, especially in a season where they didn’t have a shot at the playoffs.

He was drafted 27th. Could have sworn he went much earlier in that draft.

Like I think I said elsewhere in this thread, what really amazed me about White was going into the draft there were a lot of people really high on him in spite of his only real move in college being running really fast in one direction and not being able to make a hard cut for a route.

It was a pretty awful pick, but I…

It’s the sort of pick that wouldn’t have looked as bad later in the first round, but contextually it wasn’t like the Giants were being really stupid.

And doing a little more jogging of the memory, it looks like with Scherff off the board already, they could have had a guy who was decent or mediocre rather than terrible…

He was little hurty in college and didn’t have much of a route tree. Personally I couldn’t understand why he was projected to go in the top ten, but there he was.

I thought I recalled it being a reach. That said, there were some questions over the value of taking Gurley at 10. For a couple of seasons, those were right too.

Just a quick look in SI’s post-draft analysis gave the pick a C citing that he needed to work on his footwork (probably still does). I thought I recalled them being knocked for reaching on him a little bit, but it was a need-based pick.

They also gushed over the Bears’ pick of Kevin White.
