Top 10 WR's

[Cowboyny]

Let's start looking at the positions of need for the Cowboys. In my opinion, team lacks a true #2 receiver. DC's around the league figured out don't let Lamb or Ferguson beat you. Offense needs another top flight receiver to take the pressure off. Just look at the Bengals for example, Chase just isn't the same when Higgins is out of the lineup.

Top 10 WR's per Draft Buzz-yes rankings will change once the offseason gets going.

1-McMillian Arizona-heard comparisons to Drake London
2-Ebuka Ohio State-a factory for strong NFL receivers
3-Harris Ole Miss-another big X receiver
4-Restrepo Miami-slot receiver
5-Felton Maryland-strong route runner
6-Burden III Missouri-YAC Monster
7-Bond Texas-another blazer from Texas
8-Royals Utah State-can take the top off a defense
9-Johnson Oregon-undersized in that Turpin mold
10-Stewart Oregon-another Y receiver who can take the top off the defense

we certainly do not want to use a first on a WR since whoever we get is clearly going to be a #2
so someone we could get in the 2nd at best or 3rd at worst maybe; since we do not have a fourth

What I would like is a real burner. THAT would be the most valuable addition.
The first thing I look at in any WR is his hands; because nothing else matters if he cannot catch the ball

I can't imagine a #1 pick with as high as we will be picking. However I think WR would be a strong contender for that #2 pick. I like Bond or Royals alot there. If Tolbert plays at his current level and we can get something out of Mingo, that could be a good and diverse crew

It’s a crap class at the top…

The top 3 IMO are Tmac, Bond and Burden. Tmac is the only one worthy of our 1st round pick and I wouldn’t take anyone outside of Bond / Burden later in the 1st.

Maybe Harris / Egbuka in the 2nd then a massive drop off.

Hunter is a 1st round WR but a blue chip CB so wouldn’t really lump him in.

All of the other big time contenders are continuing to pump top resources in their offense…we’re the only team that isn't.

The biggest problem with this offense is having ZERO playmakers outside of Lamb. I’d take a WR in the top 10 in a heartbeat if the value is right.

I agree, don't envision them using a 1st rd pick at the position, but after that they are open for business.

That 2nd could be a very interesting spot overall. Depth of the DT draft could have a high quality prospect. Some really good #2 WR types. There could be some HB's that may have gone in the 1st in other drafts

I haven't watch too much tape as of yet, outside of just watching the games, but at first glance there are a lot of Y receivers that fit what we need. In my view a Y receiver has elite speed that can stretch the field, player like Detroit's Jameson Williams. However, Dak has worked well with the good route runners like Amari Cooper. Perhaps, a strong route runner with good yac skills might fit better with him.

I agree, we won't be taking a 1st rd receiver, but there should be quality depth on day 2 to fill this important need.

We all know, the longer you wait on a defensive lineman, there is usually a steep learning curve and very hit or miss. Have to land an early impact defender if that is at DT or Edge, doesn't matter.

Day 2 is an excellent area to address the offensive, skilled player needs at both WR and RB. Add a legitimate threat and allow the rest of the group to fight it out for that X receiver spot.

I agree if there was a Chase/Harrison top, we would be fighting our case, but it appears the best receiver is more of an X which we already have multiple prospects at.

My thinking right now is a top 3 pick is very possible. Maybe even probable given our schedule. In that scenario, Id definitely be in favor of a trade down targeting Graham ( who will likely be just outside the top 5) Outside Hunter, no one in that top 3 really excites me. Maybe if Carter was closer the Aiden Hutchinson level prospect

That is the ideal scenario, especially when Jerry overpaid for Mingo. Trade back, obtain additional picks and still land one of your targets.

Being as high as we are, adding another day 1 comes into play as well. Possibly even more than one

I don’t care if it’s an X or Y…just want someone who can get open and finish.

I’d take the guys I referenced in the 1st, but if they aren’t available would be looking later too.

I just don’t think the type matters…Philly doesn’t have a burner, SF doesn’t have a burner, etc…

We just need playmakers. Lamb is it…Tmac would come in day 1 and be the 2nd best weapon on the team by a freaking landslide.

Disagree, Smith is a burner for sure. SFO has all those physical, yac types and run a short passing system.

We don't want to have a group of big, slow receivers who cannot get consistent separation. Either have to get speed or receivers who are strong route runners.

, especially when Jerry overpaid for Mingo

Think what you just said and remember Jerry admitted they wanted this kid in the draft. Do you see Jerry burning a 2nd or 3rd-round pick on WR after giving up the 4th-rounder on Mingo? I don't ....at all. I mean you don't think he met with McClay and the scouts regarding the top WRs in the draft before making the trade? As stated before, IMO, Mingo is Jerry's 2025 WR pick......shoot, like you said, he overpaid but what does that tell ya? I'm not saying I agree with it but it's obvious Jerry is pretty high on Mingo. Remember MM said the trade was based on his draft grade.....

Meh - kinda opinion on that one…I’d consider legit 4.3ish guys burners but there’s more ways to get open.

Lamb is quick and a plus route runner. Think TMac would bring that plus a massive catch radius.

KC seems to be willing to let top WRs go...
so frankly the idea we desperately need to put a top pick into WR just does not wash

Rice was turning into a pro bowler before injury

They just drafted a 1st rounder

They just traded for a potential HOFr in Hopkins

2nd rounder in the bench in Moore

Oh and arguably the best TE of all time…
