Slot WR our biggest need

DanA said:

Randall Cobb played 712 of 1129 offensive snaps last year which is just under 65% of snaps. You can't have a scrub fill that role, it's too big and would be hugely detrimental to the offense. I'm supportive of the argument that we can extract more value out of a corner, DE or 3T in the first round...and I agree but we can get through the season with the options we have in those positions, we can't get through the season with Devon Smith as our starting SWR.

If WR is the obvious best player available we should take them, otherwise I think it has to be addressed in either the 2nd or 3rd round.

Imagine Ruggs in the middle drawing the safeties away from Coop & Gallup...

Agree 100% with this. The middle ground is that the strength of this draft is WR so we can likely get a guy that would be drafted a round earlier if he was coming out another year.

I disagree with the thought that WR is the biggest. DAL had 3 good WRs last year, yet couldn't score when they needed to most. Also, what's the point in having a high quality 3rd WR when you don't have a true #1 CB and the defense is giving up 25 points a game?

A good WR will fall into the 4th round imo no need to be hasty.

But those guys don't add a unique element to the offense. Pittman might give you a solid third WR, but influence on the game is minimal. Ruggs dictates the defense every time he's on the field.

I think Pittman gives you a player that can immediately contribute in year 1 as WR3, and has the potential to grow into a high end 2. If he’s getting open and catching the ball he’s influencing the game.

It’s a different impact than Ruggs, but still a positive one that also might give you some financial cushion when looking at contracts for Cooper/Gallup.

This is the problem. It's a non-impact, relative to last year. If you just want someone to catch balls, just role with Devin Smith and Cedrick Wilson. If you actually want to improve, you have to invest in a unique skill set.

I don't understand why people want to go cheap at WR. Did we already forget 2018?

Cheap on WR we just gave Cooper a 100m dollar contract for 5 years wth are you talking about cheap.
FYI Pittman will be the better NFL WR than Ruggs, so why would we go cheap at WR and draft Ruggs?
Ruggs will be a better big play WR, but Pittman will be the better all-around WR.

There are like 3 teams in the league with a true #1 CB.

Giving up 25 points a game is fine. Go score 30. The Chiefs gave up 25+ points to every good offense they played, and 23 to Minnesota. It doesn't matter. Trying to win games 20-16 is a poor approach.

So are you saying you'd like a WR over a CB?

I agree with Cnu that Pittman is a near lock to hit. And if he starts 700 snaps in the slot year 1, while also having the talent to move outside later if something happens (Gallup leaves, Coop gets hurt, Coop busts, who knows... 4 years is a long time), I think that's absolutely worth a 2nd round pick.

You can argue about greater needs or positional value, but if I get a quality starter with my 2nd, I'm not going to be too upset about it regardless.

I think you can get Lynn Bowden in the 4th and he’d be fine

biggest needs IMO

5. QB - There is no universe where Rush should be the primary back up.

Paying 1 WR isn't a measure of being "cheap" or not. It's about overall investment in the position group.

Dallas doesn't need an all-around WR. It needs a big-play guy.

Michael Gallup i pretty damn good too.

So if Ruggs is gone should they draft Reagor or Mims at 17?
