T-Mac ran 4.48 40 at his pro day!

About the same speed as CeeDee.

Cowboys need someone with more speed.

Its why I want Golden

Don't really want to go overboard on this but I don't see either in the final rankings (week 15) in the AP or Coaches poll.

Maybe not final rankings but we’re when they played them.

I wouldn't mind Golden, but not at #12 spot. Trade down into the early 20s while picking up either an extra 2nd round pick or a 3rd and a 4th rounders. If Golden is gone by the early 20s, there are a few other fast WRs who should be available in the 3rd round.

 

[reddyuta]

for what its worth both Jeremiah and Kiper have Tmac falling into the 20s in their latest mock drafts.

Okay, but I just showed you 5-6 quality opponents he performed well against. And that’s just arbitrarily using 100-yards as a measuring stick. He played against 7 ranked opponents in 2023.

No need to keep going back and forth on this -- it's not a hill to die on for me -- but OU gave up 38 points in a bowl game (and bowl games are weird these days), USC's defense under Grinch was an absolute embarrassment, Colorado wasn't good, ASU wasn't very good in '23... Right?

Without watching the games, I'll give credit for Utah -- they're always very solid under Whittingham. Miss State, maybe. Overall they weren't a good team either, but they may have had some good DBs.

100%.

I still like Tet and would be fine with him at 12 but a 4.6 WE that early is a little scary.

What do you make of his drop in production last year? Was it solely the QB?

I'm not arguing, BTW, just curious to hear your perspective.

The offense, the QB etc…I think they realized due to the QBs limitations they just tried to get the ball in their best players hands as quickly as possible.

It’s not a concern for me, as he was out there dominating the SEC the year prior at the age of 19.

Even if his ceiling is drake London that's not anything special. Hes not Mike Evans and neither is Drake

 

[Cowboyny]

Guyton. Martin, and Steele were horrible at pass blocking last season. Dak was getting killed.

Well Jerry thought Zeke would be enough.

Makes it easy when you can pin your ears back and rush the passer

Bad year to be looking for a WR at the top of the draft.

Might be best to go after the likes of Higgins, Noel, Royals etc then invest a 1st rounder on a 2WR/slot WR. Problem is, I'm not sure that does much more than Tolbert for the team

Correct. Just need to see the offense and players first.

 

[jblaze2004]

But he was high on Mingo

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I like Steve Smith but he’s dumb as rocks for saying that (in the video). He said when he watched Tet’s teammate Jacob Cowling in 2023, Tet was not a focal point of the offense.

Weird.

Cowling put up 90 rec. and 848 yards that season.Tet put up 90 rec. for 1,402 yards.

 

[Amarillofan82]

I get it, but it still doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies drafting that kind of athlete at 12.

Ideally you’re getting a plus athlete with plus production against top competition. At this point I’d probably lean Burden for that reason or feel better about a trade down taking Golden / Egbuka.

I would be much more inclined to trade down 5 or so spots and grab Egbuka or 10 spots and maybe grab Golden, plus some more draft capital. No guarantee that would work though. If Tet is available at 12 and Jeanty is already gone then the team is in a dilemma. Tet just seems like a slot receiver for his career and although that is important. The team has way more important needs for priority positions.
