The Cowboys sent a 4th round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft for Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo, a former 2nd round pick himself. Is this move simply to distract fans from how bad the team has played on the field? Especially when the current Cowboys outlook is dismal with Dak Prescott set to miss multiple weeks?

00:00The Cowboys made a trade for Jonathan Mingo, which is not getting early praise.
00:21All right.
00:22I also went to Jonathan Mingo's because look, man, his NFL stats are there.
00:28If you've watched, I have watched enough of him to go, all right, I drafted him in
00:32fantasy last year and then immediately released him because I was like, that didn't turn out
00:36as good as I wanted it to be.
00:38But whenever I went and looked at his NFL.com prospect grade, I always loved the prospect
00:44grade.
00:45It might be hit or miss, but what's your current feeling on him?
00:49Meh.
00:50Yeah.
00:51All right.
00:52Here was probably fair.
00:53His prospect grade was a 6.27.
00:55The great, the great on that Kevin is will eventually be average starter and at the moment,
01:03that's what he is.
01:04He's six foot two, 220 pounds, maybe a little bit heavier than that right now because of
01:08the NFL.
01:09He has a physical build so far and what Dane Brugler wrote also long strider, not so it
01:17takes him time to build up speed.
01:18If he's playing press coverage, that's going to be tough for him.
01:21I haven't seen any difference in the NFL so far from what I read from Dane Brugler.
01:26So I don't know exactly what the vision is for him, what they, what they want to be,
01:32but at the moment he's Jalen Tolbert ish.
01:35And that's about it.
01:36And Jalen Tolbert hasn't turned into what I thought he would, he should be.
01:39So just to hammer that home, Jane Slater had a couple of tweets about this.
01:42I asked the GM of another team, his thoughts and said, talented, a little raw compass,
01:48too much, like way too much.
01:50Everybody is most like Tolbert of the guys out there.
01:53Just my opinion, not a bad player, but to include a fourth is rich.
01:57Then she talked to another GM who said it probably should have been like a sixth or
02:01a seventh for the compensation.
02:04And this is a player that I mean, like, what have you done lately is what I know people
02:08like to look at.
02:09And in the last four games he has one catch for one yard on five targets.
02:16Heck yeah.
02:17So I understand why people than zero.
02:20That's true.
02:21You could have got a negative play out of that catch.
02:23That is very positive play.
02:25Hell yeah.
02:26So positive Mike is here and ready to play.
