A C is very generous.

Extra Draft Pick!!!!

 

[Genghis Khan]

Is it?

 

[Genghis Khan]

because senior citizen Jerry thinks he's the smartest guy in the room

I mean we "know" why and it's because he's an idiot. But I think the question should be asked of them just to make them squirm a little and think about what the frick they've done.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Our drafting isn't the problem, it's really good overall despite the busts, the problem is that it's literally their only method of acquiring legitimate talent.

Bingo. So it's doubly important for them to not waste those resources.

And yet...

He was absolute garbage so that's one positive I guess.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Massive overpay is absolutely correct.

It is like they looked at the current group of WRs and went well, shit…let’s get another guy that can’t run a decent route.

Ahhhh he fits right in !!!

What kind of production does Mingo have to give us to justify the 4th?

From the Machota article on the Athletic:

The Panthers have been in sell mode since last week when they dealt wide receiver Diontae Johnson to Baltimore for a pick swap, getting a fifth-round pick in exchange for Johnson and a sixth. But general manager Dan Morgan was able to get even better value for the underperforming Mingo, who had the fifth-worst catch percentage in the league last year and this season and had been passed on the depth chart by a pair of rookies — first-rounder Xavier Legette and undrafted free agent Jalen Coker.

The Panthers envisioned pairing Mingo with quarterback Bryce Young for years when they drafted him in 2023. But the former Mississippi standout arrived as a raw route-runner and was all but written off by Dave Canales and the offensive staff.

Jones, the Dallas owner, saw something he liked, and Morgan was able to add to the Panthers’ growing pile of picks for next spring. — Joseph Person, Panthers beat writer


At 3-5, it seemed like selling would be a better option than buying before Tuesday’s trade deadline. Jones said he has no interest in that, making it clear, “We’re buying and not selling.” Why? Because, like the dipshit he is, Jones still has hopes of Dallas turning its season around.

“We’re gonna have to do something that’s a storybook-type of scenario,” he said Tuesday morning. “I’ve been a part of a couple of those, and it can happen.” — Jon Machota, Cowboys beat writer

Did the Cowboys overpay?
The cost for Mingo is a bit of a head-scratcher. They get Mingo for two more years on his rookie deal while giving up a fourth-round pick that would have given them four years on a rookie deal.

Obviously, the Cowboys like Mingo. He was a top-30 visit in the draft process and it’s unfair to judge him as a player because of the situation in Carolina. Even so, it’s a move that has more questions than answers. — Saad Yousuf, Cowboys beat writer

"Storybook"?

When has a WR trade turned out "storybook" since Terry Glenn?
