the run on WRs wont stop.
one of those defensive players should be there.
DE and DT group looks promising.
we could walk into the 3rd Rd with a CeeDee/Gross-Matos or CeeDee/Blacklock combo....that is one helluva start for us.
I would be shocked if Gross-Matos made it past 40. Then again, Lamb at 17 was a shocker. That would be so sweet to land YGM at 51.
Expecting the Bengals to take an OT to start things off (Josh Jones ?) but who knows.

I'll admit going in I definitely wanted to go defense 1st round. But with Ceedee dropping it changed my mind. My opinion he was the best WR in the draft and will make an immediate impact. Chaisson would struggle to crack the starting lineup and there wasnt a corner/safety i loved at 17.

I mean, look at what Lynch did with Kinlaw. He really didn't need a D player either, but he went BPA.

I hate he did it, but yeah, there's something to be said for that approach.
I think that would be the player (Kinlaw)..., I would have tried for as dallas GM, not a WR.
dallas should have moved up and picked him.
If Lamb is as good in the pros as at okla. then he may be worth the pick.
But what he did in college may not translate to the nfl.

Open mic at the end with Jerry - “they were bragging on him.”

I agree, Dallas should have moved up when Kinlaw was there with a couple of picks.

Adam Shefter pointed out something amazing

  • McCarthy gets a 1st rd WR his 1st year in Dallas (so TWO 1st rounders and 3rd on same team)
  • Aaron Rodgers went his 15th straight year without getting either a 1st Rd RB or WR in Green Bay. Instead, they draft a QB
:lmao:
The irony

Lamb and Jefferson are the steals of the draft. Those two guys should have been top 10 picks.

I think Chaisson would have been a natural replacement for Quinn, but Jerry must be really confident that Gregory/Smith will return and contribute.

If Diggs and Johnson are gone, and we can't trade up without giving up something stupid. McKinney gone as well, Antoine Winfield's son at S is interesting.

I first watched him like 4 months ago before he flew up draft boards, and kinda dismissed the idea when he started getting 2nd round pick talk. But, with this offense, if you think you can get even some of his game to translate, it's something you have to consider.

4th rounder trade up, as far as value, gets us to like 45-46. But hey, you never know.

There is a lot of debate that he's the best safety in the draft. I think the only thing that is causing him to slip are injury concerns and his size.

But there's no doubt he's a playmaker when he's on the field.

So, by drafting Lamb, the team plugged a hole at WR created by Cobb's departure. A lateral move that needed doing, for sure. Where do they go from here to make the team better than last year?

Classic Cowboys day 1 (and that's a good thing). Let the board come to you, don't get cute and reach, take the obvious stud talent available.

That looks like the kind of guy who you can't pass on at #17 to me. Especially when it fills a need. Not to mention if the Cowboys don't take him, the Eagles probably find a way to. This was the smart pick in the short and long run. This team needs more talent, not just hole fillers. Add to it there was no consensus on safety or any other position left like there was with Lamb. I wanted Chaisson, but as others pointed out, he just doesn't have great tape. We've gotten burned so many times just taking athletes or potential. Why not take the surest thing on the board, the BPA, a player widely regarded as the best in the draft at his position?

He is a consensus top 10 pick by just about everybody...…………...Eagles tried to trade up to pick 11 to grab him but cost was too high.

He was #6 on the Cowboy's draft board, meaning they had him ranked as the 6th best player in the entire draft.

I too wanted defense, but you just cant pass up a player like this falling to you at 17.
