Drafted by Cowboys Cowboys Select WR CeeDee Lamb with the 17th Overall Pick

[CalPolyTechnique]

That’s ridiculous! If the team was worried about the cap they would’ve parted ways with him before the draft and took whatever receiver was left at 17 or in the second round.

That’s silly.

So the Cowboys would have walked into the draft with no #1 and just presumed a guy like Lamb would be available.

I agree that our defense still needs help, heck, if we spent the rest of the draft on defense I'd be okay with that.

But when you have a chance at Lamb, you draft Lamb.

Nice Boat, Nice Pick

And Dak still can't score.

Bad time for Dak shots

 

[PUSHfold]

Does any team that claims to have an elite quarterback need to surround him with a 1 at rb and 2 1s and a 3 at wr?

The point of having an elite quarterback is to multiply the effect of the guys around him. Not vice versa.

Still hope Lamb is awesome. He probably will be.

Lol.

The two players comparisons i read for lamb are Deandre Hopkins and OBJ. If thats true than it was the right pick.

Guy is a beast and not afraid of contact.

I didn't want a receiver in the first, but BPA and hard to complain. Great talent

 

[dallasdave]

Oh yeah Tex? Hold my beer...

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!

Sorry Jerrah. Not sure how valuable a 3rd receiver is in the first round when you just paid $100M to your #1 WR and you also have another guy that will probably command more looks in Gallup. The right call would have been to trade down for more value. I'm not questioning the guy's talent but the return he will provide when Dallas is a run first with Zeke.

My only issue is the blocking with Williams and Looney. All the weapons go by the wayside if the pass blocking goes back to 56 sacks allowed.

The rest of the draft will be defense. Maybe, maybe an OL in round 4th/5th.

I wanted D but you can't argue with best player available when it's that big of a difference. Chaisson or Delpit would be nice IF CeeDee wasn't there

I don’t like Delpit but like chaisson
But can’t argue about a top 10 player at 17

 

[Texas_Pete]

He has great peripheral vision

[Zekeats]

Chad Ochocinco/Deandre Hopkins/lil Dez Bryant sprinkled in. Also can return punts. Sign me up all day any day.

 

[conner01]

If we go corner in the 2nd round then this could really be a great pick. To get the #1 WR in the draft is ridiculous here at 17.

Safety
Winfield
Love that kid

And Dak still can't score.

So the Cowboys were 6th in the NFL in scoring because they kicked a lot of FGs? 4th most TD passes in the NFL might dispute that.

I know, some low scoring in individual games in 2019, but is that all on Dak, and what 2016 when they were 5th in the NFL in scoring with Dak at QB?

Only problem is they are going to have to reach for defense now. And taking a center at #2 or #3 is probably off the table now.

 

[DasSchnitzel]

I didn't prep for the draft at all this year and this thread is basically my first look at Lamb. So don't get mad at me for asking this, it's an honest question.

I'm seeing lots of people saying he was the best WR in the draft, even "unanimously" the best WR in the draft, a clear top 10 pick, etc. So if that's true, why did we get him at 17, and why was he the 3rd WR off the board?

 

[garyv]

WR isn't a need right???

Lololol

Honestly what I would love the most is this....

1) Second round take Antoine Winfield Safety
2) Sign Free Agent CB. Dre Kirkpatrick
