The Cowboys Are Doing Their Homework On 2018 Wide Receiver Class

INDIANAPOLIS – Whatever their plans might be for Dez Bryant, the Cowboys aren’t ready to say. That much has been established during a long week at the NFL Combine. If uncertainty surrounds their veteran wide out, though, there’s no doubt that they’re looking at this upcoming crop of talent.

The wide receivers of this year’s draft class took center stage on Friday, as they began their sequence of Combine workouts and media interviews. In speaking with them, it became clear that the Cowboys intend to get to know them, as well. Take a look around the cream of this year’s draft crop, and it’s obvious. Alabama’s Calvin Ridley and Maryland’s D.J. Moore – two of this year’s top prospects – both confirmed they had Friday night meetings scheduled with Dallas.

Add Texas A&M standout Christian Kirk to that list, as well. The 5-11, primarily slot receiver said he has met informally with the Cowboys’ coaches. There’s also Oklahoma State’s James Washington and SMU’s Courtland Sutton, both local prospects who are bound to have contact with the Cowboys at one point or another. In some cases, that could even be a fulfillment of a lifelong wish...

Sounds like they are spending more time on WR than any other position. Makes me think they are looking at F.A. for OG.

This story means NOTHING. Has no bearing on what we do or won't do. They are simply doing there homework.

FA is the way to go at OG.

A few years ago we visited with a bunch of RBs at the Combine. We brought a large number of RB prospects in to look at prior to the draft. We let Murray goto the Eagles. We had our backup RBs already and only brought in McFadden as what many of us thought would be a backup as well.

Everyone expected them to draft a RB.

We went the whole draft without drafting one RB in a draft year that seemed to be a RB heavy draft IIRC.

That link looks like a link that I used to know. *sobs*

Yep, and it was the dumbest move ever. If they do that with a WR and bring back the same cast I will be extremely disappointed.

Sounds like reporters are writing stories to match a "cut Dez" narrative because writing about OL and DL prospects doesn't generate the clicks.
