Matthew Golden should probably be our pick

[CATCH17]

by that logic why don't we draft Tyler Warren?. he can get open and outmuscle any body covering him

I’m for it.

 

[thunderpimp91]

I keep watching film and had been asking myself what I'm missing with Golden. To me it seems like hes been undervalued the last few months in these mocks. He seems like an advanced route runner for a college guy. We see the speed from the combine numbers, and even if he plays a tick slower than that in pads he still has more than enough speed to threaten DBs deep. The body control is there, his hands are a bit inconsistent but also makes some great catches that you didnt think had a chance.

The biggest knock I see on the guy is he seems to play with a bit of an on/off switch to him. There are times where he just looks like the best WR coming out of this class and a future WR1...and other times he starts to disappear and gets looks to get lazy if he feels a play is dead or isnt getting involved in the offense.

It seems with rumors or McMillian dropping hes being more linked to the Cowboys than other WRs, but I'm not sure Golder shouldnt be the top WR right now. It kinda feels like a 1A/1B sitaution with those two and it just depends on the type of WR you want.

JMO, sign a FA WR.......there is still SDiggs and ACooper out there.

Trade down and Use rd 1-3 on (playmaker- preferably on D; prefer CB, LB, DE), DT, and RB.

If this team doesn't get a running game, then it doesn't matter who WR2 is. Dak is not Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen. He isn't going to put precise throws 40 yds down the field. He needs a running game. So get the running game first.
And get the D straightened out. Dallas can score 28 a game, and it not matter a bit if the D is giving up 35. Right now, most of the assets and money are tied into the QB, front line, and WR........at least until Parsons signs. This team badly needs DL, LB and RB. It isn't going anywhere till these three positions are made better.

Then and only then would a WR2 make any difference at all. There is still only one ball they are playing with. There are still 5 OL, 1 QB, and 5 skill players on the field. Teams love it when the QB is a playmaker as well, but in general 5-1-5 is the setup. Teams and people don't seem to understand that one group of skill players sets up the other group, and excellent TE's help both the running and passing games. The talent on the team determines the playmakers, but the coaching is the one who either makes it excel or allows it to decline.

Exactly. If we don't solve the Oline and RB position well, it won't matter who we draft. A great line with a RB is the answer. It can mask many holes on a team. Demarco Murray and our Oline in 2014 comes to mind. The defense was not very good, so what we employed was ground and pound eating the clock, closing out games running the Rock. We will need to do this again while we are fixing the d. This draft for me is more about fixing the running game. After that, things will fall into place. We need to bully teams running it.

 

[visionary]

We have no offensive weapons outside of Lamb.

WRs are ridiculously overpriced right now as free agents.

Golden is good at all the things Dak likes.

He is a good route runner / separator

He has incredible 4.29 speed

He’s 6’0

He can track the football and has a large catch radius

He also plays big in big games.

He looks like a Antonio Brown starter kit on the field to me.

The Arizona guy just looks like a guy Dak would struggle to get the ball to.

I think Golden almost has to be our pick at this point.

Best case in my view is to trade down to 17 for a 3 or 20 for a 2 and then take Golden at 17 or 20 and DT, RB and CB with the other 3 picks in rds 2/3

 

[DoctorChicken]

Golden like the other wide receivers in this draft is player you would like to pick in 20s or the top of the second round. Is he really better than what we have in Tolbert. Before the college season started he was Texas’s 3rd receiver. He never had any big seasons in college as well. So many questions.

I feel like that is what is said about 90% of the first round prospects I read about here.

There are a few elite prospects in this draft (Carter, Graham, Jeanty, Hunter) but everyone else has question marks.

I’m starting to feel like people are going to say “we could have taken him later!” no matter who it is, barring something miraculous happens like Graham falling.

This draft sucks. No quarterback is in the consensus top 5 players, A running back that is not athletically special is considered a top 3 player. It is telling me all I need to know.

for me only 2 cant miss blue chip players in this draft-Carter and Hunter.lot of players with potential and warts too

We are not solving it. You can count on that.

We have too many holes on this football team and 21 year old kids aren’t the answer to these problems.

 

[AbeBeta]

If we go wr he's the only one worth it. I don't care what the experts say

The experts would say you need to put your Texas biases away.

Wow. A whole 62 yards receiving per game in his best college year!

Before the college season started he was Texas’s 3rd receiver. He never had any big seasons in college as well. So many questions.

2 things to think about with Golden.

1. A lot of people may have him as the Top WR in this draft so these mocks are likely not accurate.

2. A lot of people have a actual first round grade on him.

He’s not just projected to go in round 1 he actually grades as a round 1 player.

There is too much not to like. There is high upside. He spent 1 year at Texas and played big in big games.

I'm not a fan of Texas nor a fan of taking him at 12. I'm saying IF this dumb team is hellbent on taking a wr I'd take Golden. Not value menu ceedee (burden) or Courtland Suttons twin. Golden can actually run routes and separate unlike those two

 

[CATCH17]

Like him in a trade down but don’t see good value at 12.

Tet is good at 12 and Golden late teens.

I’m not sure Tet is the unanimous top WR.

Golden is more of what a modern day wideout looks like too in the NFL.

Steve Smith has been really good at evaluating wideouts and he has Golden as his top guy.

 

[deerhunter11]

I’m for it.

I wouldn't mind it and he could probably do what a wide receiver could do with the speed he has.This guy would be a difference maker in this power running game the way he blocks as well.

I lean toward him if we're taking a receiver in the first round. I'd like him with a trade down, but I don't know if we could get him since he may go a few picks after ours. I wouldn't be mad about the pick at 12.

I agree that our QB has never liked throwing 50/50 balls, so a receiver who can separate like Golden may have more value to us than a receiver who can go up and get the ball in tight coverage like McMillan.

 

[America's Cowboy]

I wouldn't mind it and he could probably do what a wide receiver could do with the speed he has.This guy would be a difference maker in this power running game the way he blocks as well.

TE Tyler Warren seems like a very good Tight End prospect to draft.

Problem is the Cowboys don't need a TE.
We have:

• Jake Ferguson
• Luke Schoonmaker
• Princeton Fant
• John Stephens Jr
• Brevyn Spann-Ford

So, as one can see, the Dallas Cowboys have 5 young and talented Tight Ends. The Tight End position is not in need. The Cowboys would seriously be wasting a very limited draft pick(s) on a Tight End when other positions are in dire need.

I agree we are pretty strong at TE but he could be best player available when Dallas is on the clock you never know how these drafts unfold.

 

[NDGAEDE]

I prefer Egbuka to Golden, personally

 

[cnuball21]

I like Golden - but he’s small and doesn’t play anywhere near the 4.29 speed.

Also why in the world didn’t he dominate at the small school before Texas?

 

[phildadon86]

Seems there is a huge drop off in talent at all positions this year. Except RB and DT. Our two biggest needs.

Take the BPA at any of those other positions of need. Take a RB or DT in the 2nd round.

If we passed on graham for a WR I’d lose it. But that’s what happens when you sign Paris Campbell instead of a Kupp or Allen.

No one would question the pick. You hope Tet Mc falls but considering the money Chase and Higgins just got you can’t complain about getting a true WR 2 if not WR1
