Meh...while anything can happen, odds are Lamb and Jeudy will be better. Maybe he'll end up better than Ruggs (Las Vegas) and Reagor (Philly) though.
Sounds like another Diva WR.Justin Jefferson's revenge plan: 'Every single (team) that picked a receiver instead of me are going to pay'
While the 2020 NFL Draft class was stacked with wideouts, there was one that was seemingly making a late push up draft boards. Former LSU wideout Justin Jefferson was a large part of the Tigers' undefeated 2019 campaign, and a longtime NFL offensive coordinator/receivers coach even told Bucky Brooks of NFL.com that Jefferson was one of the best receivers he's ever studied. Despite the high praise, Jefferson fell all the way to the Minnesota Vikings at No. 22 overall.

While he was still a first-round pick, Jefferson wasn't too excited that a total of four wide receivers were taken before him. During a Thursday appearance on The Zach Gelb Show on CBS Sports Radio, Jefferson said that he was definitely shocked multiple wideouts were taken over him last week.
"I mean, yes," Jefferson said. "I felt like I was the best receiver in this draft class, and being the fifth receiver off the board, it kind of was a shocker. But also having that on my shoulder going into this next season with Minnesota, I'm definitely excited to show the world what I have."
While Jefferson is confident he can quickly prove that he's a legitimate NFL receiver, he wants more than that. He wants the Las Vegas Raiders, the Denver Broncos, the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles to regret passing up on him in the first round.
"Every single person that picked a receiver instead of me are going to pay," Jefferson said. "I'm going to show them that I am the better receiver than the pick that they had. . . . I'm definitely excited to go into Minnesota and [compete] for [a] Super Bowl."

Hope our Cowboys new Defense shuts him down when we play the Vikings this 2020 season!

Sadly trueRandy Moss did a pretty good job of it when it came to getting revenge on the Cowboys.
I bet they think beating us was worth it.If there is a team he should be more pissed off about is the Eagles. They took a 2nd rounder rather than the 4th best receiver in the draft.
I still can't believe we got Ceedee Lamb right under the nose of the Eagles. They won't ever forget that.
I agree. What too many, far, far too many, people ignore is that circumstance has a huge bearing on outcome. Randy would have most likely imploded here in the pressure cooker and circus that the Cowboys are. Especially at that time.I don't believe that because of the reason they didn't pick him. Booger was keeping the team's image and sponsors in mind and with how Irvin had embarrassed the club, there was no way they could take Moss with the 1st pick. Booger could claim ignorance about Irvin's escapades before the fact but not what Moss had done. Slapping his gf around and let's not forget the meter maid stunt after he was a Viking. There was a reason the larger frontline schools didn't offer him a scholarship and he went to Marshall.
No one ever said anything about any team not taking Moss except the Cowboys. I thought that was a stupid as Greg Ellis having to carry that attached to himself. I have never faulted Booger for not taking Moss.
Great. Another Vikings WR about to school us.
Joe Burrow made this kid. Just like Romo with Dez. Dak with both Amari and Gallup, and soon to be Lamb!The Eagles did pass on him for a lesser player IMO, Dallas did not. But this kid will be a good player too.
