when was the last time a team had 2 1000 yard WRs as young as yours and still went WR round 1?

Fair question, but when you get the best player BPA by a landslide, I can't hate this pick at all. Any player was a projection or a reach.

 

[CowboyRoy]

That’s where you win drafts
It’s not hard picking first rounders
Those middle and late rounds is harder but very important
Just don’t reach
Let the best players fall
We have enough holes you can use lots of guys so don’t reach

I have little confidence in the Cowboys from 3 down. Maybe it changes with MM.

Great pick, best player in the board, fills a need and bones a rival (unfortunately)

FORTUNATELY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CCBoy]

Solid, those that are screaming about the pick right now, will understand in a very short time how good this pick is.
Plenty of defense left in this deep draft, so relax and enjoy the Uber talent we just added.

Quick, side bar...any team ever had 3 1000 yard receivers in a single season?

Considering the comments saying we will be scoring 40+....way to early for that as well.

Lam makes us more potent, but he cant block for Looney and Williams.

 

[Swagger]

Nobody doubts the quality of Lamb.

But the defense could be pretty bad. The corners will be exposed and abused, we don't have a good safety and what will the pass rush really be like with a couple of cast offs at DT?

Difficult one as you can't really pass up on a player like Lamb at 17 but it reminds me of the Packers mostly having a joke defense with McCarthy as HC and Rodgers carrying the team.

 

[Cowboy-33]

Why do you guys think he was third receiver taken after Ruggs and Reudy? Just curious

 

[CCBoy]

Does that mean even with Jerry as the GM?

So the Cowboys were 6th in the NFL in scoring because they kicked a lot of FGs? 4th most TD passes in the NFL might dispute that.

I know, some low scoring in individual games in 2019, but is that all on Dak, and what 2016 when they were 5th in the NFL in scoring with Dak at QB?

Yea it's all Dak at least mostly. Unless you have a terrible defense Dak scares no one with his legs or arm. He lacks the ability to throw anything other than straight line bullets type passes and those are easily defended. He did better last year against weak teams. We will need a very tough defense keeping us in games untill we can score.

Well it appears that JJ & Co turned the table on Philly by taking CeeDee at 17 just in front of a team who DESPERATELY needs help at wide receiver...…….HA-HA!!!!!!! That will teach old Philly to mess with JJ...…….. Now we need CeeDee to come in a kick ***!!!!!!

 

[jay94]

This actually helps negotiations. If they are smart they try to resign him THIS year. Or they trade him.

Well see, I have my doubts, can't think of to many 3rd year players getting traded. Of course it happens. If the Cowboys sign him now it would only help the Cowboys, if I am Gallup I wait and get my full value, but sure as a fan I would love to get him signed earlier if we can get some sort of discount.

 

[dallasdave]

Whoooo!!! Awesome selection right there. Not only was it refreshing to see the FO go BPA, but, we got a helluva player. There is time left in the draft to select defense in the next rounds.

Well said, great pick, offense will be great.

 

[charron]

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.

 

[lukin2006]

Is he that good? Honestly, I do not know...
