Matthew Golden should probably be our pick

[tm1119]

His 2nd best season he went 67-723 and averages 54 receptions per year for his career.

Nope. 3rd best out of 6

 

[Rayman70]

I like Golden. Is he that much better than Tolbert day 1?I'm not sure yet. Which receiver in the draft is like Justin Jefferson or a Randy Moss type? Tet? I think I might rather want Luther Burden or a late rd guy like Arian Smith from Georgia if we want pure speed. We have Turpin and that's it as far as speed goes. We desperately need team speed at the skill positions. Need to get much bigger and nasty in the trenches. Athletic upside players do us little good.

 

[Rayman70]

I still think we will make a splash in. Free agency.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Yall have to stop the this Tolbert nonsense.


Golden will be the second best weapon on this team the day he is drafted. They wouldnt have traded for Mingo if Tolbert wasnt as mid as he is

 

[WillieBeamen]

All the Golden slander is just a way to push the agenda of wanting to go in a different direction with the first pick

 

[Cowboyny]

Problem is this draft sucks.

You’re just trying to draft good players.

Even the high upside guys are gross.

This guy and Lamb playing off each other would be fun to watch.

Tight ends usually have a steep developmental curve and take time to make an impact. Those oversized receivers make an earlier impact like Bowers/Kincaid.

Warren needs some development as a route runner and as an inline blocker, and think he is a 600-700 yard player as a rookie, to me that isn’t worth the 12th pick, even in this draft. Usually you can find quality te’s after rd 1. Gronk, Kittle, Witten all weren’t 1st rd picks either

Here's interesting nugget by Dana on RBs......this got me to thinking. If we miss on Jeanty......maybe trade down to get our 4th back and double dip the 4th and 5th round.

Brugler: If Dallas focuses on the prospect who will make the greatest impact at No. 12, then Jeanty should absolutely be on the very short list of potential Cowboys. His vision and contact balance make him a tough guy to get on the ground. What I love the most about his game is the reactionary reads — he won’t predetermine his path, he has the instincts to read, sort and cut. Want a big-play creator? Jeanty had 12 carries of 50-plus yards in 2024. No other FBS player had more than five. He is a true every-down back and does much of his best work on passing downs, catching the football or blocking in pass pro.

For me, the No. 1 reason not to take Jeanty is the volume of backs available in the subsequent rounds. Tennessee’s Dylan Sampson on Day 2 would be a great fit in Dallas. Oregon’s Jordan James early on Day 3? Yes, please. The Cowboys could wait until the fifth round and still land a quality player like Texas Tech’s Tahj Brooks or Kansas State’s DJ Giddens. The options are plentiful and likely why I would look elsewhere than running back in the first round, even if Jeanty has special all over him.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

The only problem is we would have burned a 12th overall AND 4th rounder on WR position.........

BTW......take it for what it's worth

,,, and we would STILL be getting punked on the OL and DL
I'm soooo happy that we decided to go all out and win those meaningless games with players on the field we knew we weren't keeping. Just two or three spots higher and we would have our choice of top OL/DL.

I’m hearing that the Cowboys love Miami’s Martinez and might even take him on day 2

Nah,some of us just don't think he's worth #12.

Again, the problem is this draft sucks and this guy is absolute quality.

At 12, you have a chance to get a 1st rd graded player where there may just be 12 of them in this years draft. Overdrafting a te makes little sense, if you are going to overdraft you take a valued position

I don’t think 12 is overdrafting for Warren.


If he is there at pick 12 I think most would view it as he fell.

Agree to disagree

 

[atlantacowboy]

We just paid CD. We can't spend a first round pick on a #2 WR.

Why?

This team has no weapons to speak of besides CD.

WRs are extremely expensive and if Lamb gets hurt we got nothing.

There isn’t a position that Dallas could take besides QB that this team doesn’t need. We suck and lack talent all over.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Golden is WR1

 

[QuestForSix]

Clown Boys “explosive WR2” comments today make me think Golden is the target RD1 (which I would have zero issues with)

The path forward here defense. Last years defense was historically bad and one of the worst in the NFL, particularly against the run. We have gaping holes at DT, LB, CB, and S............... you don't build a team through the WR position.
