This is likely how the WR group will turn out if they only keep 6 WRs. If they keep 7, I can see either rookie UDFA WR Holden making it...or Cropper.☆lamb
☆pickens
☆tolbert
☆turpin
☆mingo
☆brooks
Holden, Cropper whoever can give Tolbert an incentive to break out ...The first four are easy: Lamb, Pickens, Tolbert, Turpin.
I think they likely keep six. So, which two on the current roster have a shot to make the initial 53. And why?
Personally, my two guys are Holden and Cropper.
Holden is fast, and plays like an NFL receiver. His top speed is in the 98th percentile. He's that guy who can make plays on slams or down the field. Not the best route runner, but he gets good separation. To me, Holden is just a better football player at this point. Maybe I'm sleeping on Flournoy, but I'm giving Holden the edge over Flournoy because he plays with that so-called dog in him.
Cropper has been my pet cat since before we acquired him. The guy can just play. He's a bit undersized, but his weight and speed helps him get separation, which is a big part of his game.
Im looking for guys who can separate for WRs 5 and 6.
Why?
Because you always play a few teams that have sticky corners and so you need players with a knack for getting open, which both Holden and Cropper do well.
Not only that, I really like what they can both do after the catch.
I also like these two just for the chemistry they bring. As players, they'd give us more flexibility to run more WCO stuff, which I hope is part of the plan.
I'm not worried about draft picks spent on a player if an UDFA is better. Just go with the better player.
Which WRs do you think makes the roster and why?
Mingo, Yoda lad, should be expendable if it weren't so embarrassing for Yoda.I believe the Cowboys keep six and it goes chalk.
CeeDee
Pickens
Tolbert
Mingo
Turpin
Flournoy
PS: Moreno-Cropper, Brooks, Campbell - I think Jalen Moreno-Cropper is one of the Top 6 WRs on the team, but will have to serve as insurance. Brooks n Campbell offer STs ability as GameDay call-ups.
I like and agree with Pass2Run's opinions on the importance of separation.
I am not the biggest believer in Tolbert as a legit WR3 and wish some of the other guys would replace him.
I will hafta see to believe Mingo not getting a spot just because of the story surrounding him.
It sure would please me IF he got fairly beat out though
Would make me actually think Schot has a little genuine roster authority which would be really nice.
My wish is CD, Pickens, Turpin, Tolbert(unfortunately) Flournoy and Holden as my dark horse as well. Although Mingo most likely ends up getting Holden"s spot because of the draft pick crap.

Mingo runs sub 4.4 and built like Dez.Mingo most likely ends up getting Holden"s spot because of the draft pick crap.edit
A prime example how Yoda's ego hurts the team.
You get that in the 1st 3-4. 5-6 are for giving breathers without ruining the game.You say that now.
But they still need to evaluate.
Flournoy is a stiff, Mingo is just big, and stiff as well.
I want guys who know how to separate and get YAC.
I always forget about Mango being on the team......much like I forgot about Royce FreemanThe first five are easy. Add Mingo to the list. They aren't keeping either Holden or Cropper over him.
If they go with six then next up is Flournoy.
The coaches forgot about Royce Freeman as soon as they signed washed up Zeke.I always forget about Mango being on the team......much like I forgot about Royce Freeman
don't say you know this because 0 they wasted a 4th round pick now they allowed trade lands to walk this will not be a factor and he has not a lock in my opinion mingo is going to have to fight all those guys for the last two spots... That's my opinion the dude's done nothing you think Holden's not going to be good how do you know how do you know he doesn't turn into miles off that immediately turning heads at practice cropper in Brooks and don't forget I believe it's Paris Camblell and others.. It's going to be a fun to watch there's going to be 4 or 5 receivers fighting for two spots..The first five are easy. Add Mingo to the list. They aren't keeping either Holden or Cropper over him.

Jalen Tolbert was a third round pick why would you think a 4th rounder is worth more than a third the fact is Tober had real numbers last year he produced that wide receiver 3 production and you think he's being pushed out because they you think they wasted a 4 ground pick wouldn't pushing Tolbert who was productive off this roster and he was a third round pick be worse like where is your mindset really?? What is Tolbert done your family did it did he do something like really bad to someone you know?lolMingo would have to be really bad to get cut. A 4th rnd pick is not a throw away pick. I think he’s safer than Tolbert
He's not safer than Tilbert if there's two spots left that means he would have to be really bad not to make the 5th or 6th spot tolbert's a lock on this team and I hate to break it to you but the more I read that the more you guys are like really drinking some stiff stuff right now...Mingo would have to be really bad to get cut. A 4th rnd pick is not a throw away pick. I think he’s safer than Tolbert
