If you haven’t seen the Dallas Cowboys and Oakland Raiders made a trade: (See below)
Oakland Raiders get:
1st round pick in 2019 NFL Draft
Dallas Cowboys get:
WR Amari Cooper
I have so many questions and personally I don’t have the answers Sway. If you are a Raiders fan you have to be happy as h*ll to turn Cooper into a 1st round pick with the produaction he has had the past two seasons. I mean they already traded Khalil Mack which was dumb, but this move actually seems pretty smart of the surface in my humble opinion. The Raiders seem to be major sellers right now are they going to move Derek Carr next?
The Cowboys let go Dez Bryant in the offseason, were never able to replace him and don’t have a main target because of it. They signed Allen Hurns, traded for Tavon Austin and used their 3rd round pick on a wide receiver so I can’t say that haven’t tried, but we can say they have failed. So, trading for Cooper was a good thing as far as getting a person that could be a top tier talent if he plays like his first two years, but getting him for a 1st round pick was pure thirst on the Jerry Jones in crew because his current production would be worth a 3rd round pick max if I was in charge of this deal. I know people are saying the receiver crop in the upcoming draft is supposed to be down, but I think that pick is more valuable than Cooper currently because how good do you think they finish the season?
This season Cooper currently has 22 catches for 280 yards and a touchdown. In his first two seasons he had 155 catches for 2,223 yards and 11 touchdowns. He made the Pro Bowl both seasons.
Which Cooper the Cowboys get will determine the blow of this move, but in my opinion the Raiders pulled off a pure fleece job. Can Dak Prescott get him the ball better than Carr?
