Rate our WR corps

[75boyz]

After CeeDee it's not good. Ferguson would have made the grade higher and I would have included him as a passcatcher although a TE not WR.
But Ferguson's play and health fell off quite a bit this year.

Brandin Brooks is most likely gone.
Tolbert is still a low end WR3.
Jalen Brooks/Flournoy/Mingo all question marks at best going forward.

A for Cee Dee, all the rest grade C, and that includes all our Tight Ends.

 

[Hawkeye19]

They leave a lot to be desired.

 

[Mr_437]

CeeDee is elite and a Top 4 WR, playmaker.
Tolbert took a leap this season. Cedric Wilson-ish.
Turpin is a speed WR and dynamic
playmaker.
These 3 alone are a B -.

Jalen Brooks 80 wingspan and played ok.
Mingo is big and just big.
Flournoy has potential, but too many pets in front of him to get a real opportunity .
These 3 alone are a F.

Overall, I give them C+ because of the back end guys.

I look for the Cowboys to add someone to help the Top 3 guys and challenge Tolbert for WR2.

 

[beware_d-ware]

CeeDee is an A+ and everyone else is a D or D-.

Brandin Cooks looks pretty much done.
Turpin has some game and deserves more targets.
Tolbert is just another guy. WR4 type with no standout skills.
Brooks and Flourney are NFL flotsam.
Mingo is awful. Basically Brooks with a 2nd round draft pedigree.

 

[Ironicalicon]

C overall.

CD is an A+ #1
Tolbert is a C #2
Cooks is a B- SLOT
Turpin is a C SLOT
Backups are Ds

CeeDee is the only legitimate WR left in Dallas. Cooks was good once, but they don't use him they way they should or maybe they can't use him the way they should. They throw him fades and other routes unsuitable for a short receiver instead of running him on crossing routes where he can catch the ball in stride and gain some yards after catch.

I want to like Tolbert because he does some good things, like get involved in plays where he doesn't get the ball. We've seen him recover fumbles and things like that to help the team. The problem is, we just do not see him doing much consistently. He is at best a JAG.

Brooks is a practice squad receiver.

Turpin is a return guy who can play some WR but he looks uncomfortable running routes and catching the football. When the ball goes to him it looks like one of those balloon footballs that is almost as big as he is.

Overall, this group gets a C- from me. Other than CeeDee they just do not do enough. Red Zone failure is partly the result of WRs who can't get open.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Other than CeeDee it is the least talented group in the league.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I gave a D-. Pretty much all of them except Lamb preformed below expectations. Cooks and Turpin play small and our QBs struggle to get them the ball. Tolbert and Mingo are depth at best. We really needed someone to step up here and no one did.

 

[Big_D]

I gave it a D. Besides Lamb, it’s a pedestrian group. They need a legit #2 and he’s not on the roster.

 

[Dalmations202]

CD is an A
Everyone else is a C or below.

IMO, They all would look much better with a more accurate QB, that has NFL strength, and a good running game though.

No defender peaks in the backfield against Dallas, so separation is harder than with some teams.
Ball is not getting to them quickly, and accurately.......watch the QB play.

I just don't see it getting any better no matter how much capital you throw at it, if you don't improve the accuracy and running game. Only one ball, and most of the throws would/should be to CD.

I wish we had a OC who could take advantage of the WR we have. It's better than most think. Young group.

Some will say we need a speed guy. We have one, McCarthy doesn't use him.

Outside of Lamb and Turpin (who is still learning route running), they are hot garbage.
Brooks and Tolbert cannot win in coverage. I’ve watched Tolbert struggle to get away from safeties and LBs. It means little to me that they usually catch the ball when there’s a broken coverage or Tolbert is schemed open in the red zone. When teams double or bracket Lamb, the other guys cannot get open. They don’t have any explosiveness to separate. When you have to go on 12 play drives to score, penalties and errors are compounded.

Most of the better offenses in the NFL have a high performing #2 who is either fast, twitchy, or an explosive route runner. Your number 2 needs to beat 1-1 coverage consistently. We have one of the least explosive offenses in the NFL. We are desperate for more explosiveness at WR and RB, n my opinion. Speed creates opportunities for everyone else.

 

[Cmac]

I think your grades for Cooks, Brooks, Flournoy and Mingo are extremely generous

.....extremely. I needed this curve in school.

 

[FanofJerry]

Impossible to judge unless you spend a lot of time scouting and watching film...even then it seems hard.

No run game, No Dak...and even though we went 12-5 last year...Ive been skeptical of offensive play calling around here for years, as in, a lot of things taking place that dont make sense that even I can see. Nothing against McCarthy if he is calling plays...this goes back before him.

I dont see how you can judge if these guys could be a tier higher than what is being said about them when they have been playing for a team not trying, without a starting QB and no run game.

Just my opinion.

 

[SlammedZero]

You gotta include CeeDee. CeeDee himself pushes an F group to a C-

That's exactly why I voted C.

 

[DFWJC]

Some of may want to look at New England and some others if think we have an F or D

 

[TrailBlazer]

When you have a top 5 wr in the entire league. That's gives you a B at minimum. Outside of Lamb, it's not good at all. But Mahomes, josh allen, Lamar Jackson all get the job done with much worse receivers than we have currently.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Without Lamb we would be comparably bad

 

[DFWJC]

I saw a full list recently that had Dallas 13th out of 32.
hey, kind of like our QB!
Though some could have him slightly higher and WRs slightly lower

 

[DFWJC]

Without Lamb we would be comparably bad

Sure.
But we have Lamb and hes an A+
