As we’re sure you already know, the Cowboys just traded for a new starting wide receiver in former Steeler George Pickens. He walks in as CeeDee Lamb’s wingman, bumping everyone else on the depth chart down a peg. What does that mean for Jalen Tolbert, Jonathan Mingo, and others in what’s now become a competition for WR3?
One could argue that the Pickens trade is an indictment of those other prospects. But even after the draft, Stephen Jones was clear that while the front office believed Tolbert, Mingo, and Ryan Flournoy had WR2 potential, they weren’t there yet.
