MKG and Jeff Taylor.

1. I'm surprised MKG was taken #2.

2. I'm surprised Jeff Taylor dropped this far. He's a very underrated player.

Both of them are support cast though.

Jeff beat Mike. They are both the Yin and Yang. Jeff can shoot. MKG is a Jack of all trades. The Center position could be better but what we have right now is great. I'd like to know what type of style they will be playing. I'm not sold on the PG position, Maybe Kemba can flourish in this new team. The addition of Gordon that can shoot. Just need a good PG, Kemba needs to step up.

They are definitely a double digit team. I can help but feel good about the future about this team. With 2 first round picks next year, if this season doesn't go that well and they end up in the picking top 5 again, it can bode well for them. Get a scorer next year and have the supporting pieces already.

Im conceding my rage from draft night. MKG is here and I wish him the best. Hopefully we get a scoring pf next year and a great pg to move kemba to the two. Then a center and an upgrade at the 2 the following year. If they can turn it around in 3 years ill be exstatic

I'm pretty happy with both players. They upgrade the talent on the team, work hard, and solidify the SF position. Hopefully there is a star PG or big man at our pick next year. I feel like he was the best pick they could make this year, and I like him a lot even if he has a couple flaws.

I just don't see how Kemba can be a successful NBA two guard. He's got to play the point with a scoring two so we don't have to expect Kemba to contribute heavily as a scorer.

      Cowboys Trade for Jonathan Mingo

      By PantherBoy95 · Posted

      Yeah I'm not into college as much, so I admit not to having my own opinion about him coming out. But strictly watching ESPN shows, and going off of commentary at the time..It was a lot more 50/50 even on this board than what people like to remember and admit.  Yes many people had doubts and questions, but MANY people also thought he could possibly be the one. I was only versed enough to know that it was between he and CJ, but most pundits made it sound like either way we had a QB of the future, just different skillsets/traits.

      Cowboys Trade for Jonathan Mingo

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Jonathan Mingo to the Cowboys Cowboys receive: WR Jonathan Mingo, 2025 seventh-round pick Panthers receive: 2025 fourth-round pick  Dallas Cowboys: C Leave it to Jerry Jones to wait until after Dak Prescott is injured to go after another receiver. To be fair, the Dallas Cowboys have a real need for the position. CeeDee Lamb is a superstar, but Jalen Tolbert and Brandin Cooks haven't been the needle movers that the Cowboys were hoping for. Making a trade for a receiver wasn't a bad move, but the player that the Cowboys gave up three rounds of value to acquire is questionable. Jonathan Mingo checked a lot of physical and athletic boxes as the 40th-overall pick in 2023. Unfortunately, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound wideout has struggled to be a productive receiver at the NFL level. Some of that has to do with playing for the Carolina Panthers, but Mingo has seriously lacked efficiency at the position. Mingo has yet to record his first NFL touchdown, catching 55 passes for 539 yards. Per TruMedia, he has just 0.74 yards per route run in his career, which ranks 177th out of 186 receivers with at least 50 targets since the start of the 2023 season.Even though Mingo fills a need, that's a lot of value to give up for a receiver that's struggled so much at the NFL level. The good news is that he still has a couple more years on his rookie deal, so at least the Cowboys are getting a cheap developmental project to learn from a star like Lamb. Carolina Panthers: A Instead of trying to hold onto Mingo, the Panthers took what they could get, and that turned out to be way more than expected. Mingo quickly became expendable thanks to the rapid ascension of rookie receiver Xavier Legette. Along with a larger-than-life personality, Legette has hauled in 26 catches for 244 yards and four touchdowns. Three of those touchdowns have come in the last four games, with Legette becoming more and more of a focal point in Carolina's offense. For a team that needs to capitalize as much as possible on draft assets, moving up three rounds in the draft to move on from a disappointing draft pick feels like an absolute win. https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-trade-deadline-2024-grading-every-move/
