    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    In 2023 Pickens put up 63/1140/5, averaging 18 YPC, with Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, and Mitch Trubisky at QB all year. He would've put up nearly similar stats last year if he hadn't missed a few games. That was good for 16th in the league in receiving yards in 2023. That's pretty nuts when...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    Some of it will probably work out, some of it won't, but ultimately I think as long as everything doesn't go wrong our pass rush will be enough for the unit to be generally decent and middle of the pack.

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    CB is all about the injuries, on paper the top 4 is strong but when will Diggs be back? When will Revel be full go? I think Elam can hold down the fort for a month or so but it's all up in the air. I'm not concerned about "DT" because Osa and Thomas are a strong 3T combo, but obviously the...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    I think our pass rush will be good enough to carry the defense in the regular season as long as the offense is roughly 2021-23 caliber. We still have arguably the best defensive player in the league, Osa might be a borderline Pro Bowler, Fowler put up double digit sacks last year, plus we have...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    There is absolutely no chance he only puts up 40/500 barring significant injuries. 80/1200 is more likely than 40/500.

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    Parsons is a thing unto himself, we know that deal will be done in the next 2 months or so. Beyond that I don't really give a fuck about Ferguson or Williams, Aubrey is a kicker, so it's really going to come down to making decisions with regard to Pickens vs. Bland since they should be in a...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    It's going to be fascinating to see how the contract situation plays out next offseason, or potentially even during the season. It's very hard for me to see them paying him ~25/year and I can't imagine them prioritizing him over someone like Bland, but I guess you never know if Pickens goes...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    I'd be pretty shocked given that they have two passable vets and spent two picks on the position. Maybe they'd do a minor trade for a low-level guy to throw in the mix but I'd be shocked if it was something of a similar magnitude to the Pickens trade.

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    I think this move could very easily bump us over the Skins in the division, and potentially get us nearly even with the Eagles depending on how a few things go. We need a little bit of injury luck or regression with Barkley (which should happen given his age) but I think people are overlooking...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    I could also see part of the rationale behind this move being the internal timeline they have on Dak. I'd imagine they're looking at a 2-3 year window with Dak before they seriously consider moving on, if you draft a rookie even in the first it's a tossup whether or not that guys takes a year...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    I'm sure he'd tell the media he thinks he's the best WR in the league, as probably about 1/3rd of the WR's in the league would, but unless he has a legit learning disability I'm sure he knows deep down what the situation is with Lamb.

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    Coming into this offseason I started a thread about how if I was running things my focus would be on supporting the two truly elite talents on the roster, Parsons and Lamb, and how important it was to add guys who could take pressure off of them. For Parsons I envisioned that coming in the form...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    The interesting thing about this is that it seems like they were very focused on adding a bigger X receiver who can win outside the numbers while letting Lamb continue to float, usually in the slot. They were going to take McMillan who fits that exact description, they supposedly sniffed around...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    On pure talent alone Lamb/Pickens is up there with the elite duos in the league. Probably behind Chase/Higgins, but on par with Jefferson/Addison, Brown/Smith and Hill/Waddle, so from that perspective I get the gamble. My only issue is that they continuously end up overpaying by about a round...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    I'd roll the dice because why not, but Tolbert is at least an above average WR3, maybe even a good to very good one if he's improved.

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    I agree, I would've much rather moved down 5ish slots and even if Booker was gone we could've gotten Zabel or Harmon, but that discounts how they stacked their specific board where they supposedly had Booker in their top 10. But yea, if they had an inkling they were going to make a move like...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    Yea I think this is the logic. Either we bring him back in Stephen's cheapo price range or he walks and we get at least a 4 as a comp pick. If he puts up 900-1000 yards and 6-8 TD's this year he's going to get 20+/year unless he blows a gasket, and those numbers are very attainable opposite a...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    Conversely, maybe a trade like this would just be an extension of Stephen's weird little obsession with compensatory picks. Trade a 4 in the 2026 draft for a guy, have him on the field in 2025 presumably as a sizable upgrade, and then likely get at least a 4, if not a 3 as a compensatory pick...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    That's the big question, assuming the guy works out and puts up around 1000 yards and 6-8 TD's, do we really believe these cheap fucks are going to give some nut case dumbo a deal averaging 20-25/year? If not, and it's arguable whether they should in the first place even if he has a very good...
