he’s going to break every cowboys passing record. Lol

it’s all you turds can cry about now. Lol

I’ll settle for him just playing well against teams that aren’t terrible at this point.

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.
Do you realize we are a high volume passing team. We passed for almost 5000 yards last year

That would have been my preference too, but we'll have to hear what other teams were offering.

This boards is usually so divided.. Apologists vs Realists....Dak lovers vs Dak haters....etc.

Is there a single Cowboys fan who is not thrilled with this pick???

Raise your hand.

Sadly, you'll find some. Maybe even some protesting.... it's the world we live in, lol.

So much about the BPA AT THE POSITiON OF NEED GUYS. LOL

This was BPA ALL THE WAY. Love the pick. Was afraid we would reach for Chaisson, McKinney or Riuz.

Best part about Lamb ... he produces in the slot AND outside

I recognize the value, and I'm still not thrilled at putting so much into WR, but Lamb gives us everything we could want. Credible outside threat to backup the starters, returns punts, even a credible starter in a couple of years so we can choose between keeping Gallup or Cooper.

Really? So LVE was the splash pick? Taco? Frederick? Zack Martin? People like to claim Jerry always chases the splash guy, but history doesn't really support that.

I get that you are disappointed we didn't get defensive help. I am too. But Lamb was the top player available, so we should at least understand it would be hard to pass up that kind of talent.
You gotta admit, though, Jerry loves him some WR, have always paid a premium at that position in term of trading high picks and giving big contracts.

I think the WR position is the one that resembles his personality the most....big play, flashy, ego driven personalities mostly.

I'm really warming up to the pick, a lot of exciting potential.

Don't get your panties in a wad cause I'm not buying into the false hype that another receiver will suddenly fix some td issues against average teams.

you don’t have to buy anything. It was an incredible pick / value and you’re a dunce if you think otherwise. (Or by your posting history, other thoughts etc).

Good fortune, that he fell in our lap and we stuck with it because he was the player on the board at that time.
Remember McCarthy said teams are going to have to outscore us

He was rated higher than any of the S or DL left and was the best receiver on the board and pleasantly stunned he was there at 17. When I saw there was only 2 picks before us and was hoping the next 2 picks were not receivers, so thanks falcons.


For real. It’s felt like the falcons have been in position to play spoiler for us for years now
