WR looks to be a disaster

We know they're not picking one in round 1, right? Otherwise we probably trade for DK Metcalf. I think there is a slight possibility we pick one in the 2nd. I think that's going to depend a lot on who's left. I'd bet on the 3rd round if I still did that sort of thing.

Right now wr is a pretty big need, if they trade for a top wr the yea round 3 more likely. Of not I dont see them not picking a wr with the top 2 picks we have

Idc if Schultz scores 20 Tds against our division. It's not gonna parlay into any playoff wins w that dink n dunk checkdown Bs.

It's that mentality that gets us down by 3 scores in every playoff game we've played in 20 years

We have 1 te playoff td in 25 years. In a LOSING EFFORT might I add. Pigs will fly before we beat a contender w Schultz and Some practice squad te leading the Charge.

We couldn't do it w #82 in his prime either

It's really simple. Either change up this sdupid dual te scheme or get 2 tes that can do something besides take what the defense gives ya

We had 14 tds leave the roster with Cooper and Wilson gone. Not to mention Jarwins 2 Tds.

That's 16 tds total.

Guys just don't step up against better defenders and make up for 16 tds.

Anybody who thinks so is drinking some serious Koolaide.

That oline isn't gonna score any points. Zeke is avg about 8 tds a year and he's not gonna morph into a 16 TD a year RB.

Best thing we can do is Draft the best red zone te we can get. A guy whose ceiling isn't beneath schultz.

I'd still grab a guy like Cook. We need competition at the te position. Schultz isn't gonna show anybody how to go up and get a ball. Sorry

If we can upgrade the offensive line and RB production then what we have right now on offense will be enough. We need at least 2 new OL starters though and probably a shiny new RB to at least push Pollard and Zeke.

What's wrong with Lamb-Gallup-Washington? Sure we need a 4th but you can find those guys in the 4th round or later. An alpha WR would be nice but this team has holes almost everywhere, not sure we can afford to spend another premium pick at the WR position.

That said, once again, I'd flip #24 and Lamb for Diggs, today.

I'm not hung up on CeeDee as a fan. He's the one player that makes me nervous. I already know Gallup can ball, especially if he gets through his injuries. But those injuries are another question mark, in my mind. So, yeah, I don't see anything specifically wrong with those guys other than someone like DK Metcalf would make all of them better players.

I just don't see how CeeDee was regarded so highly or still is. There's nothing he brings to the table that jumps off the page. Hopefully this will be the year he steps up.

Lamb IMHO is NOT a number one receiver. Every game we played without Cooper-Lamb and Gallop were mostly missing in action.

There is one thing I'm optimistic about going into next year: Simi Fehoko.

He's a solid player. Not on Coop's level, though, imo. In fact, he benefited from playing with Cooper.

While I didn’t agree with trading Cooper.

receiver doesn’t worry me that much right now. If they draft a receiver in the first 3 round (they will). They can be fine at the position.

the bigger need to getting the offense back on track is fixing the damn OL. Which is what I’m most frustrated about. If you’re going to trade Cooper. Use that money savings to improve the OL which is the primary issue with the offense.

they have done NOTHING at OL. NOTHING.

The receiver position can still be more than OK if you infuse a draft pick and more importantly the OL can block better and get the running game going again.

I agree we need to address oline But I don’t want to use a premium draft pick to do it. Over the last 5 seasons the teams that focus on running the ball are not either getting to the playoffs or aren’t getting far if they get there. This year it was the battle of the WRs and if we have an inferior roster of WRs compared to the rest of the NFC then we will have another disappointing season. Grab Playmakers first then draft oline.

Your O line also has to be able to pass protect if you want an explosive passing attack.

The cowboys have two very good receivers already.

Football games are won and lost in the trenches. Always have been, always will be.

It’s not like the cowboys have trash at WR right now. They still have 2 very good ones.

we have nothing at left guard and an unproven player at RT. Plus a mediocre at best center.

OL is in far worse shape than receiver is right now. IMO

No, it was the battle of the DLines.

while i agree and the OP is flat wrong a disaster LMAO, right.

however to say Steeles unproven id say we started 6-1 with him as rt and had the best run game and our offense was like #1 etc. when LC came back while not only him but ironic all that started falling apart. yes LG needs to be filled but lets not be dramatic, will be players already here battling for that spot as well as the draft and late adds post draft for vet swing depth.

im not worried one bit 6 months before game 1.its what OTas, MC, and Training camp is for..add preseason games etc it will get worked out. should they need to get Vet make trade theres plenty of time to do that after they start the battles in camps to see what they have

The same way Coop did last year? I'm not at all convinced that the problem with the passing game is our receiving Corp, especially when Dak/KM have a propensity to use WR3 and TE.
Certainly could do with a WR, but isn't Metcalf a deep threat (already covered with Gallup and Wahington).
We had one of the best route runners and Dak still couldn't find him.
I don't think Dak can hit a moving target and a hook/stop runner is going to suit his diminishing arm (if 2021 is anything to go by).

Not sure this is accurate at all....Cooper missed two games last year (Oakland and KC)

Lamb - Only played a half between those two games, caught 3 passes, and got hurt on an underthrown ball.
Gallup - Went 5 for 44 yards vs KC, 5 for 106 vs Oakland

Not sure either was anything to brag about during that period, but it's pretty tough to judge either off such a small sample size where Lamb barely played, and Gallup still put up 150 yards over two games.

Also for the season Lamb & Cooper played pretty much the same amount of games but Lamb had more targets, catches, and yards.

Lamb by almost every metric was better than Cooper in 2022.

Personally, I would have kept Cooper for this year, especially after seeing how our FA period went, but Lamb was the #1 in 2021, not Coop, plus hes 5 years younger. Cooper is at a stage where he is what he is, Lamb at 22 years old still has time to develop.

Agreed. I’m just referring to the offense specifically in these posts.

we need a better OL and a better front 7. That’s how you win in the playoffs.
