This had to happen for Prescott and the offense.

They easily had the worst WR situation in the league, and probably the worst in some time

What? A 1st? This is the Roy Williams deal all over again.

Super Bowl contender now!!!! /Michael Irvin

 

[Tony Romo]

WHAT?

Good pickup for the Cowboys. Still think a 2nd for Cooper would have sufficed.

Oakland loading up on mid to late 1sts.

Joey Galloway - two 1st round picks
Roy Williams - 1st and 3rd round picks
Amari Cooper - 1st round pick

Jerry loves offense. Jerry will always overpay for offense.

Except Amari Cooper is better than Roy Williams and goes to a better QB situation.

I like Amari better than most people like Amari, but a first rounder?

LOLOLOLOLOL c'mon man

This seems like an overpayment. I thought a second would be enough.

I can't believe the Raiders actually got a 1st round pick for him. I think this is actually a great move for a tanking team.

Could be a good pick up for the Cowboys. The talent is obviously there but I don't know if this Cowboys coaching staff will be able to utilize him correctly to get him going again.

But it’s Jerry Jones, so you’re not wrong.

Cooper has been regressing however.

 

[Troy McClure]

Now... let's say Cooper doesn't result in monumental change and the Cowboys miss the playoffs... and let's say Dak's play leaves the team thinking they need a new QB...

Well, you just traded away your first rounder, so you obviously aren't getting your QB in the draft. You also just took on a WR whose contract jumps to $14 million next year, so you might not have tons of cap room to chase a free agent QB.

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

1st is too much. Cowboys aren't going anywhere regardless.

 

[Tony Romo]

I mean this basically confirms they were going after one of the Ole Miss WR this draft.

Thanks for the 1st round pick Dallas.
Cooper wants top WR money? Good luck.

 

[John Price]

Cowboys have serious receiver issues. They didn't have any going into the season and they were trying to go out there yesterday with Beasley as a #1 It was terrible. Their receivers are literally nobodies. Allen Hurns who? Michael Gallup who?

Putting Cooper there is pretty big and we'll see if he can contribute. Dallas honestly despite yesterday's result is not a bad team. Dak contrary to belief is not a bad QB. Without him, the Cowboys get blown out.

Cowboys were pretty desperate for targets for Dak. This helps a little. Not sure if it can vault them to the top of the NFC East though.

No he hasn't. He's the same player. Carr being a giant p***y is what has been the main cause of his "regression". He has been open all year. Gruden practically had to beg Carr to throw him the ball and not dump it off underneath just because he saw a flash of an opponent. Bigger question is how this affects Demarcus Lawrence. You aren't replacing D-Law without a first round pick. Are the Cowboys going to tag him again? I like the move for the Cowboys because their division is beyond mediocre and no team has pulled away. They can play defense. They needed a playmaker in the passing game.

You know Gruden will be making these picks right?

 

[Boeser Fan]

Wow Massive over payment by Dallas!

I know that, acquire more picks.
