If WR Zay Flowers drops to the Cowboys 26th pick in the 1st round, they should take him. Yes, he's only 5'9", 185 lbs, but he runs a 4.42 40 and is excellent in getting open early as well as spreading the field deep, along with running for big yards YAC and making big plays after the catch. He also is experienced in college at playing all 3 receiving spots. Check out his film...



PFF Fantasy Football also believes Zay Flowers would make the Cowboys Offense so DANGEROUS!



What say you? Should the Cowboys pick Zay Flowers if he drops to them in the 1st round at pick 26?

Entirely possible. Drops are concerning but he is electrifying

Yep. If there's a guy there who can challenge Gallup for snaps this year and get you ready to push his contract off the books in a few years I think you have to consider it. He doesn't really seem to fit their profile though.

Your last statement is interesting considering the Cowboys listed Zay Flowers as 1 of their 30 draft prospect visits and brought him in this past Monday.

The Landry Hat does a good job breaking down Zay Flowers' skills and how he could fit with the Cowboys Offense...

I really like him. He can do it all and plays much bigger than his size.

Yeah, I found it interesting that they brought him in. They've tended to like their WRs taller. Who knows? Maybe they're turning over a new leaf. Cooks is on the small side too.

Agreed.

I believe 2022 made the Cowboys realize quickness, separation and speed is more important than height/length for their passing game. It will be interesting, especially since Dak has a habit of throwing some highly thrown passes at times.

Would you have taken Kevin Williams in the 1st round? Williams was faster than Flowers and a better returner.

Also how did drafting all the 1st round WRs work out for the Detroit Lions?

I am not drafting a 5-9 nothing (WR, DB, etc.) in the first round. That is why Jimmy Johnson laugh at Jerry when he wanted Rocket Ismail instead of DT Russell Maryland.

Absolutely; if he is BPA.

So which WR would you take with the 26th pick?

In this draft with the team needs at DT, DE, LB, CB, OL, RB (that can carry the load and block in pass protection), TE. and even K, I would not draft a WR unless all of those positions Best Available Player of Need are gone out of the 1st round grading. Then I would trade back for more picks and try to pick up a 1st next year before drafting a WR in this class.

There are no true special players at WR in this draft. Addison could not help USC beat Tulane in a bowl game, the others are one trick ponies or like Flowers to small for a no.1 pick in my opinion.

We don't need a TE or a DE, so that eliminates 2 positions.

No way in Hell should we use another super costly 1st round pick on Oline. If any Oline coach can't coach up this group of Olinemen, that Oline coach needs to be fired on the spot!

To use a 1st round pick on a Kicker is beyond crazy. End of discussion.

CB is not of need. We already have lots of CBs on this team.

LBs we have plenty, especially since Dan Quinn only starts 2 LBs with the defensive package he usually uses.

RB and WR are the only positions left of dire need. So, once again, which WR (or RB) would you take with our 26th overall pick?
