What kind of WR do you want?

[tm1119]

It Baffles me that people think more WR’s is what the cowboys need. We didn’t use Beasley enough, why invest an important resource into another guy that the offense can’t sustain enough targets for? And we already have a #1 and #3 invested into our outside WR’s that are very young...TE makes a lot of sense, but anything earlier than a 4th for a WR wouldn’t make sense to me

Will there be a better TE available at 58 than a WR?
Will that TE be better than what we have?

If any of Deebo, Campbell, or Brown are there I find it hard to believe there's a TE better at pick 58.

There is a zero percent chance that there won't be a better TE available at 58 than what the Cowboys already have.

What they have is bottom of the barrel crap. Let's be honest.

My question is will a Kellen Moore lead offense run more 3WR formations oppose to 2TE formations of the past...
We don't know yet truly what to value more, at the moment, but there's some good WRs available. I say find a way to get a WR and TE.

It's easy to say slot receiver because that's what we're likely losing, but with Cooper and Gallup on the team, I feel like the best way forward would be to get a guy who could play inside and outside and rotate guys into the slot.

Starting to feel this way myself. Would love to have 3 guys capabale if winning on the outside vs 1:1.

I’m not just saying WR with our 2nd round pick, just as a whole. My question could be apppied looking at WRs through round 7.

I actually do NOT want a WR in the 2nd, just thought the post creates a good debate.

Schultz has a mid round grade last year.

Hock, Smith and Fant will all be gone. Jace May be there, but if he’s gone I don’t see anyone as a significant upgrade over what we have.

If that’s the case, give me a DT/S early and take a TE later to create competition.

TE is a priority.

But to pretend that a slot WR is not a need is just short sighted.

I am not paying Beasley if I run the team. That means I need a slot wideout, just like I would need a slot corner.

It is an important position that you just can't plug some guy into it.

I think Beasley is 1 of the better slot WR’s in the league and the team could barely utilize him on a consistent basis. Unless you’re projecting Moore to make significant changes that includes utilizing the slot more I don’t see the point of investing high resources into the position. Not saying to not find a replacement at all, just not 2nd or 3rd rounds or a sizeable free agent contract (of course there’s always exceptions of great value falling).

I agree, but there is always the Linehan consideration involved.

Call me gullible, but I would like to think Moore can be a little more creative and aggressive.

It is sad we have to evaluate things with our handicaps involved.

So if you feel a #3 WR is a need, do you like the idea of drafting a true slot guy or more of an outside WR and kick Coop / Gallup inside when we run 3 WR sets?

I'm leaning towards a guy like Brown or Samuel, just a round or 2 later. I haven't dug in enough to know who that guy is but if we can find one to compete with Wilson for the #3 spot that would be nice.

Samuel is my dream pick at 58. He is not just a slot specialist. Brown is more of a speed guy that I honestly don't think would be a realistic option at 58 as he will likely be gone.

I'd take Brown or Samuel at 58 if they are available but I do NOT want a pure slot WR. It limits your offense capability, and if you have an injury you now need your #4 and 5 wr to be able to take on bigger roles because you lack position flex.

I'm the reverse.

It could be that we lose just one starting player this offseason (Beasley). Surely that makes it somewhat of a priority. Even once his role was reduced he was still looking at 500 yard and 50 receptions. That's not an insignificant player in the offense and Beasley has no versatility. If you have a slot guy that can also play outside, run jet sweeps, and return punts then IMO that's a role that definitely warrants a 2nd round pick.

Brown is more of a speed guy? We’re talking about AJ Brown right?

I think he’s gonna be around low 4.5s. Dude wins with quickness, feet and sharp routes.

I think there’s a pretty good chance one of them will be available at 58, but I’m hoping there’s a comparable value at a bigger area of need.

I agree. You can get a slot only guy in the 5th which I’m ok with, but not the 2nd/3rd.

No, I thought you were referring to Hollywood Brown.

Ahhh, well yea - that dude can fly!

I don't want a slot only guy at all, now of we ran a spread type offense with a playcaller like Sean Payton I might think differently but we don't and so with a run first scheme I want our guys to have some flex, some size to block and move around.

 

[Rockport]

A few weeks ago a slot WR was the easy answer for me, but I've been thinking on it more and more. What if we'd prefer to add a big body WR to the roster to play outside for when Coop moves in the slot and help in the red zone? Do we want a slot only guy with some return ability? What about a complete WR that gives us the versatility to play inside and outside? Burner?
