Our next Slot/Redzone WR?

Redball Express · Apr 7, 2020

I saw this over on Dallas Cowboys.com that we are interested in this guy.

As our new slot receiver and Redzone guy..

Looks good.

So does Dez according to some. :lmao:

ItzKelz · Apr 7, 2020

Not a slot reciever.

big dog cowboy · Apr 7, 2020

Tons of good WR's in this draft.

Well into the 3rd and possibly the 4th round.

Does look good will have to say.

That's one of the most elongated triceps I have ever seen.

America's Cowboy · Apr 7, 2020

Meh. Supposedly Tyler Johnson has average speed (4.5+ 40 time). Probably why he refused to run the 40 at the combine.

I would rather have Dez for dirt cheap while drafting big and fast beast WR Denzel Mims.

I don't think we draft for slot. We draft a guy who can become a legit #2, as I don't expect us to pay Gallup. Can't pay everyone, and we almost have already. 2 years lets him grow into a starter. Also, Cooper has a weird contract, where we can legitimately let him go after 2, so maybe we keep Gallup and dump Cooper.

With a deep WR draft, a thin bench, and big decisions to be made in 2 years, now is the perfect time to pick up a quality WR.

We can agree more or less.

Why are people minimizing Gallup so much?

I think some believe #2 WR is just easy to replace.

It ain't.

Keeping guys together only improves chemistry and timing.

Dak does not impress me as a QB who will easily transfer to new receivers.

Cooper was the exception.

Explain.?

Did you not like Tyler Johnson, the point of the thread.

Tsk tsk..promoting your own agendas. Naughty.

If we can get him in the 4th, I'd love to have him.

Don't sleep on D. Smith

He might catch a pass this season

I wonder if all these fans who suggest letting Michael Gallup go realize how much he has developed and will be entering his 3rd season this upcoming season.

Michael Gallup is 2 years younger than Amari Cooper, started 4 less games last season than Cooper and had only 2 TD catches and 82 reception yards less than Cooper, who had a Pro bowl season.

This is a very good young duo of WR's. Whoever the coaching staff wants to send over the middle for those dirty yards and catches, whether it be Dez, another vet signing, someone on our roster or a draft pick will conclude if it is a triple threat at WR.

But Cooper and Gallup can both score in the red zone and we all know Dez was one of the best there was in the red zone. If he's still half that guy and the team is going to add him would mean they feel he can also score down there and make some tough catches needed by our 3rd WR.

Not sure who it will be but didn't see anyone last year show me anything special. My guess is that they are not on the team now. I hope we draft a couple of receivers rather than go free agency.

Saw his scouting report and liked him. Mid to late rounds early.

One problem: We need PR's and KR's, and this guy isn't it.

You appear to have missed the point of everything I said. Try again. Or not.

Yeah, I really don't see this cat as a slot guy. Since he "lacks ideal quickness" and the slot position is built on quickness, he appears to be more of a #3 guy who may at some point rise above that, though his lack of athleticism may keep him in the backup role.

...among several others interests no doubt.

one person's mock blog has us taking Notre Dame WR Chase Claypool,.. a 6'4, 240 lb WR with 4.4 speed as a huge red zone target guy and slot.

The two best WRs in the NFL ran a 4.57 40.
