Picks, Pickens or Picked-Over Personnel? Was Cowboys trade to shore up WR2 a dumb move?

The Dallas Cowboys have acquired former second -round pick George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers .

The Cowboys entered the 2025 draft with a clear need at wide receiver, but eschewed that choice altogether.

Would fans rather have one year of Pickens or four years of Tennessee 's Dont'e Thornton , Georgia 's Arian Smith or Virginia Tech's Jaylin Lane ? The other multiverse possibility would of course be the Cowboys spending the current cap space on one of the veteran stop gaps.
