finishing up our discussion of all things rookie draft rookies post-nifl

draft our reflections after a couple of weeks that's what we're talking about today on part two of this discussion on stealing bananas.

I'm Ben Gretch.

You can find the stealing signals newsletter, bangresh.

com with me as always is Sean Siegel.

You can find out of his great work over at Rotoviz.

Let's jump in to the rest of our discussion.

The Jaden Blue one that I keep mentioning is another one we

got to circle back to Sean, where like the Cowboys for the last several years now have tried to

show that they don't think running back particularly matters. The other thing they've shown is that

all of their evaluations are right, or think that right they think all the draft

evaluations are right they're going to keep their guy they're going to keep like a rico dattle

they're going to keep a jalen tollbert around and give him a prominent job an opportunity

they go out and trade picks for players that are not worth those picks they go out and trade

a fourth round pick for Jonathan Mingo because they obviously

thought that Mingo was worth the second round pick he got him multiple years ago. But things

have happened since then, right? But they don't care about the things that have happened.

They trade a fourth round pick for Trey Lance. They're willing to pay for what they thought

a guy was in the draft, even if that guy has been poor at the NFL level. I saw that fifth round pick for Jaden Blue, whose profile, you wrote it up, he probably

doesn't have the profile to actually take on all of the potentially available work in

Dallas.

But his profile is still very intriguing.
