FRISCO - The connection between the Dallas Cowboys and Christian Kirk came to us in an odd way. It was written about speculatively a few days ago, a blogger simply suggesting that it might be a good idea. Next came a Twitter account purporting that the "suggestion'' was "breaking news.''

But then we asked a source inside The Star about Dallas' willingness to solve its slot-receiver vacancy by making a trade for "a player like Kirk.'

This loaded draft group of WRs and we want to trade a draft pick? Geez

Marquise Goodwin is an ex Longhorn so count me in.

But ask yourself how much can you expect from a rookie, especially one drafted 4th or later. Remember we're looking for a starter to replace Cobb. I doubt a 4th or 5th round rook can do that......

Fish throwing more crap against wall. Sooner or later one of his stories will stick.

I think more importantly a young productive veteran who can play the slot and spot start if an injury happens like Gallup's last season.

Unless it is 1 of those top 3 rookies at WR, even though it is a loaded draft, we cannot expect that level of responsibility the first 8 games of the season.

Now if Reagor is sitting there in the 3rd or 4th round, which I doubt, you still select him whether you get a vet to play the slot or not. Now you have depth and young talent for the present and future.

Plus a player like Reagor can be the main return man his rookie season taking some pressure off the slot receiver.

This is what I love about the draft. People think it’s easy to just hit on every pick.

Team has need. Position has potential to be loaded in draft. Therefore, a 5th round pick can easily come in and out produce Cobb from last season.

I understand this class may be loaded...but a draft pick is still a draft pick nonetheless. A somewhat proven, young player on a rookie contract but on a shorter one (think kirk hs 2 years left) vs an unkown commodity that may not even make the roster. We need a 3rd wr. I’d do it. A 4th rounder?? Max 3rd? Sign me up.

Probably best WR draft in years. If it’s a day three pick I’d be ok though.

Knotamus · Apr 19, 2020

Kirk or Goodwill.. think I’d be fine with either if the price is right (preferably 5th or later).

That said, I like Kirk more.

Yeah but he only has straight line speed.

Should have never traded away Ryan Switzer. Heck I wouldn't have a problem with sending a 7th to the Steelers to get Switz back.

Exactly. Guy is useless.

Exactly. Kirk is a proven player and still young. Why wouldn't you trade say a 4th round pick for him?

Great post. The ramp rate for rookie WR is pretty steep. I’m all about letting someone else coach them up for a couple of years and then bringing them in

Mike has already said he wants us to be a primarily 11 personnel offense as he’s always liked it. Your slot/WR3 is basically a starter and needs to be a consistent threat. Cobb brought us 800 yards (more if not for penalties), that’s around the production Mike’s going to wanna see from that position.

How sure are you that we find that in round 3? Even by the time we pick in round two, those top 8ish guys who really project to day-1 contributors will most likely be gone. Remember WR isn’t a position where rookies typically come in and dominate. Any guy we pick in rounds 2-4 will more likely than not project to contributing consistently down the road, not immediately.

This team wants to win now, trading a 3 for Kirk and taking another WR in rd 4 wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

Oneiros · Apr 19, 2020

If we're going this route then go for Kirkland.

He's younger and still on a rookie contract.

Seems backwards. Unless, they get one for a 4 or 5 and feel they wouldn't have been able to get a guy as good as the vet, that late, and now they don't need to pick wr in the first 4 rounds, while other teams are picking a ton of them..

Cowboys22 · Apr 19, 2020

I would be all in on #17 for Adams, a 4th for a proven vet slot WR, and signing Kirkpatrick. Then go best DT, DE, CB, or LB in rounds 2 and 3. Then clean up on day 3 with TE, OL, QB, and any defensive player representing good value. They would be a much better team if this played out.

I can get behind this.

You know Adams is elite. Kirk is solid. Kirkpatrick has 99 games under his belt as well

CT Dal Fan · Apr 19, 2020

I think I can see where the Cowboys are going here.

Trade a 4th round pick (guess) for a slot receiver. Trade down in the 1st round for an extra 3rd round pick. Take a corner, safety, defensive end, defensive tackle, and maybe a center.

Too many needs on this defense to burn a pick on a WR no matter how deep the class may be.
