2 Weapons for offense

[Cowboyny]

In that case, I think Addison would probably be the best fit as he is in my opinion the best route runner in the class. He will be going right around where the Cowboys are picking so it could be a real possibility if they are wiped out at CB and OL.

Mims would work too since his hands are very reliable, but it would be a very different role compared to that which he played in college.

Think all these receivers are in play, having so many receivers coming in points to them taking one and one early.

All these receivers appear to be mainly slot receivers,

Who's the current starting slot receiver?

Not definitely but clearly the position is on the short list for days 1 & 2 of the draft. We'll have a clearer picture once the full 30 list is known. As of today, we're at 14 names...

We are still drafting a high corner, don't you worry.

Drafting high corner doen't always pan out.................aka Joseph 2nd round

That’s not accurate, we were at 15 thru the weekend and I believe 3 more were just added

Probably is Lamb

 

[morasp]

All of those grade out higher than Gallup and Tolbert.

Spread offense with speed/quickness, will forces defenses to adjust and we would see light boxes to run against. Haven't seen any top TE's come in, which suggests they may be leaning more to multiple receiving sets, then 22 personnel. All these receivers appear to be mainly slot receivers, which could mean they are looking for that Cole Beasley type over the middle to replace Shultz production in the passing game.

Could mean lots of things Th Cowboys tight end coach was leading the tight ends in drills at the combine. They have seen or know the top guys.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Probably is Lamb

In other words, we need one........

We can use both Lamb/Cooks in the slot too

 

[Flamma]

I think the Cowboys believe they addressed the CB and WR position through trades. And they won't address it in the first 2 days of the draft.

Yea, both have significant slot experience so they can alternate.

If we’re gonna be running some 4 WR sets we can certainly add another.

Disagree, look at the money at those positions, easy way to clear cap space as they have big extensions upcoming next offseason

We'll see. They have big extensions this offseason. Normally you don't wait until a player completed his last year before giving an extension. If they don't offer Diggs or Lamb an extension this year, then I'll agree with you. But we'll have to wait and see if that happens or not.

Gibbs
Musgrave

Figure out a way to land both of these two using first two picks and a small bit of additional capital and we in business

Now we're talkin!!

Diggs is up after the season, I think that’s going to be a hard resigning and may have to use the tag. We also have Steele/Biaz after the season. Lamb will be entering his 5th yr option. Pass rusher, corner, wide receiver are the highest paid, getting the cost down will allow them to keep their in house players

Diggs contract is up after this season. We don't know if they are going to extend him this offseason yet. Lamb's 5th year option is 2024. We don't know if they're planning on extending him this offseason either.

When do teams normally extend their big named players, before or after the draft?

Usually right before camp.

Honestly and this is just me, but there isn't a gotta-have WR that jumps out at me for 26 but I can see 2/3 CBs if they fall, you have to take them. Otherwise, I'm if Robinson, Kincaid, Mayer or one of the top 2 guards are there, I'm pulling the trigger. I can make case for players from all three of those positions to be day-one starters.
