Genius Move:The Cowboys' strategy of accumulating picks is a genius move, just look at the Patriots' dynasty in the 2000s, they consistently stocked up on draft picks and used them to surround Tom Brady with talent, and it's no coincidence that the Chiefs, with their 8 draft picks in the first 2 rounds from 2015-2017, are now the team to beat in the AFC, accumulating picks is the key to rebuilding a dynasty in the modern NFL. With the Cowboys' 11 picks in the next 2 drafts, they're poised to make a similar leap. My opponent thinks this is a sign of poor management, but I think it's a sign of genius. The Cowboys are playing the long game, and it's going to pay off.
Desperate Gambit:My opponent thinks accumulating picks is a recipe for success, but I say it's a desperate attempt to make up for poor roster management, the Browns had 13 picks in the 2016 and 2017 drafts and still managed to go 1-31, it's not about the quantity of picks, it's about the quality of the players you're bringing in, and the Cowboys' recent draft history is littered with busts like Taco Charlton and Trysten Hill. The fact that they have 11 picks in the next 2 drafts just means they're going to have 11 more chances to get it wrong, and with the likes of the 49ers and Ravens consistently hitting on their picks and building real dynasties, the Cowboys' approach looks like a gamble that's going to backfire.
Round 2
Genius Move:Let's be real โ every counterargument against Genius Move on this falls apart under scrutiny. The people defending the other side haven't looked at the data on Cowboys VS Rest of NFL.
Desperate Gambit:I love how the other side presents Cowboys VS Rest of NFL as settled when experts are split. The difference is, Desperate Gambit doesn't require you to ignore half the evidence.
Round 3
Genius Move:I've heard every argument against Genius Move and none of them hold up. On Cowboys VS Rest of NFL, Genius Move accounts for what's actually happening on the ground.
Desperate Gambit:I've changed my mind on a lot of things, but Desperate Gambit keeps holding up on Cowboys VS Rest of NFL no matter how I test it. The counterarguments rely on best-case scenarios that never play out.
