Who gets the final 2 WR spots?

[stilltheguru]

Holden is low key trash. A lock? Lol

 

[vlad]

1) Lamb
2) Pickens
3) Mingo
4) Turpin
5) Tolbert
6) Flournoy

Campbell would only have a chance as a punt returner as there is no other vet available that has PR experience.
Flouroy's chance will have to come this entire summer- camp & preseason. maybe 2nd season will slow down & be more adjusted.

I think flournoy is their big upside one

 

[JoeKing]

1. Lamb
2. Pickens
3. Tolbert
4. Mingo
5. Turpin
6. Flournoy

☆Lamb
☆Pickens
☆Tolbert
☆Turpin
☆Brooks
☆Mingo

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I think the team goes six receivers deep on the roster.

Assuming that is the case, I think the last spot will come down to Brooks and Flournoy. I would guess Brooks may have the edge because he plays on a bunch of the special teams units.

Junior Adams is the Cowboys WR coach. Junior coached Holden at Oregon so he knows his game. Junior is a "sponsor" for Holden, as they say, from the current coaching staff.

Then why did he get a comically small signing bonus

 

[darthseinfeld]

How can anybody see Mingo in front of Tolbert? Tolbert has seven touchdowns last season and 610 yards. Mingo has 585 yards and zero touchdowns together in three seasons. He has done nothing in this league so far. In my opinion Mingo is a cut candidate at the end of training camp.

Two seasons for Mingo, not three. But honestly your point stands

Motivation?

 

[darthseinfeld]

How can an undrafted FA WR be a lock to make the team?

Especially when they didnt give him enough money to rent a studio apartment for two months. He might get evicted before camp

 

[darthseinfeld]

Motivation?

Seriously doubt it

 

[Pass2Run]

Seriously doubt it

My two personal favorites for the last two spots are Cropper and Holden.

I would see if we could flip Tolbert for a 5th rounder at this point. But if they keep him:

CD
Pickens
Mingo
Tolbert
Flurnoy
Turpin

They might keep 7 And go with only 9 OL

We have some bullets for a trade because of the overload at Guard, but a 5 for Tolbert would be a slam dunk.

You keep Tolbert for now. This is what you drafted him for. Next year may be a different story. He has value as a 3.

I believe so as well, but these eyes have not seen Tolbert progressing yearly which is significant when evaluating the WR group.
If a decent trade proposal were to manifest, then take it, and bring the next man up.
Improve or be gone with you.

Eh, I don't think he was ever going to be Dez or Pickens or Lamb. But he has improved and I think will be a very solid WR 3 with this lineup. Can be a 2 if Lamb or Pickens are injured.

Yes, and don't take me wrong here, I have seen the talent that Tolbert has and can definitely be a solid WR3 so I get you.
All I'm trying to say is that I'm greedy when it comes to gaining draft capital when you are in a position to do so.
I hope Tolbert pushes hard in this camp and proves that he is worthy of the WR3, but lets see what Mingo has to say about it.
Its great WR competition in camp this year at the WR 3/4.
Deeper than many are evaluating this group.

For sure, I wasn't worried about the depth. Then, they add Pickens who is one of my favorite receiver talents. Now they are so deep, my pet cats will be pushed off the roster.

But for a player like Pickens, I'll happily take that.

I agree, it's deep. But I'd also argue the 3 immediate starters right now are a pretty talented group as well as deep.

Add Blue's receiving talents to the mix and I think the passing game will be fine.

You are dialed in and seeing what's developing here.
Dak has more receiving options now than a fat kid on a free spree in a candy store now.

I'm just watching them be dialed in. It looks like they seriously want to content this year.

If that's the case, then surely they are not finished yet.

I consider this Pickens deal a splash signing. The Nostradamus in me sees one more significant add before camp. Key word being significant.
