Cowboys Targeting WRs

[reddyuta]

Why in the world would Ross fall?

He has had 2 major knee injuries and 2 meniscus tears and now a torn labrum.

Safe money may be on the Cowboys selecting a WR at some point in the draft based on the WRs they've been scheduling interviews with (clearer picture will come after Valley Ranch visits).

From what I've read they've spoken with the following WRs:

Dede Westbrook
K.D. Cannon
Mike Williams
Shelton Gibson
Amaroh Darboh

Some folks seem to have insinuated the Cowboys have met with John Ross, but I haven't read anything to substantiate that.

Ross reportedly ran a 4.22 in the 40 today (new combine record). If JG gets him, it'll very likely involve a trade up. Don't see that happening. Never hurts to talk with players, though...you never know who might slide down some.
Edit: after reading through the rest of the thread, I see that I'm a day late and a dollar short on reporting his 40 time. That dude would be phenomenal in our system.

Darboh 4.46 40

I really like Darboh a lot. One of my favorite WR's in this draft (outside of the top 3 or so).

Why in the world would Ross fall?

The quote was from before he did what he did today if I remember right. I was insinuating if teams began thinking they could get a good WR with picks in later rounds then maybe one of the top ones would fall a little as teams addressed other positions instead. So if Tampa and Philly think they can get Godwin or Jones in the 2nd, they may let Ross by them and get an OL or DB instead.

Now Ross is not likely to fall.

Anybody know what JuJu Smith ran and how he is looking?

Ran an official 4.54 which is right about where people had him.

Curtis Samuel would be a hell of a compliment to Dez. Also, he is a very versatile player. I don't know if he'll be available when we pick in the second round, so maybe we could turn Romo into Samuel some way.

I'd love him to replace Whitehead and Dunbar in their roles. Dunbar was a glorified receiver anyways.

 

[OldCoach]

We don't have a deep threat besides Dez, unless you count play action as a deep threat.

You've clearly forgotten Witten...

 

[OldCoach]

You've clearly forgotten Witten...

I'm guessing this was sarcasm. Witten is getting open because of route running and if it's deep, play action. I'm talking about a player that wherever they line up, they are a deep threat.

I saw something saying Shelton Gibson ran a 4.5 but the tv host thought something was off. I didn't get to read it though. Anyone see it?

 

[Risen Star]

Please stay the Hell away from any player who went to Rapist University in Waco, TX

They should probably just use RU.

Yeah. He ran 4.5

He plays faster so I don't care about that time. He plays faster than the ga state guy who tested well.

He would be a nice pickup, but we probably won't get a chance at him unless its with our first pick. Would be like a 10 pick reach though, course they said the same thing about Frederick.

Gotta like his versatility, would be a great present in the 2nd round although that won't happen.

I think senility has set in with Brandt. Jones was drafted three years after he was fired by the Cowboys.

Was thinking the exact same thing, Jones was drafted around 92 if I remember correctly

I remember being a kid in Arlington at the time and hanging up a full page newspaper printout of Kevin Smith and Robert Jones, our two 1st rounders that year.

One of these guys may eventually replace Dez. Westbrook would be a substantial improvement over Williams in terms of catching the football. I'm not sure about his blocking ability. Westbrook might be a little bit like a poor man's Antonio Brown..

I'm thinking Kevin Williams...The Miami WR we drafted back in the 90's

NFL Insider on local Philly radio said he heard some chatter that Corey Davis could fall into the late first round given his ankle issue.
