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?

Never say never, I guess!

Seems like most have him going in the 18-40 range
I really don't think the words "drop to the Cowboys" applies...unless it was drops all the way to us in th 2d (which wont happen)

“While some may feel Flowers is too small to be an outside receiver or even develop into anything more than a No. 2 option in an NFL offense, that’s simply not true.”

Congratulations on finding an article from a youngin' who's crowning achievement was selling insurance in Minnesota until a few years ago.

Guess you gotta give him credit for convincing some people his mindless drivel is worth reading.

Nice job. When presented with a difference of opinion, you’re forced to result to insults.

But what you do have difficulty with is insulting people.

One doesn't "result to insults", one "resorts to insults". It's best to be somewhat grammatically correct when you're trying to be emphatic.

You should consider having your handler proofread your material.

If that’s the best you’ve got…

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?
I did not list WR...RB I would agree because you got one with one leg, back ups, and nobody that can pass protect, grind the clock out, and consistently slam for 1st downs and TDs.

Sorry forgot your question "which RB"?... RB is a need but I am not spending the 26th pick in the draft on one unless Bijan Robinson slides, Gibbs allows me to trade down, pick up more picks like a no. 2 or no.1 next year, or I would target either Spears or Charbonnet in rounds 3-5. No way am I trading up for any RB in this draft. None are franchise backs (like Elliott, Dorsett, Smith, Dickerson, Sanders, Payton, etc.).


Football starts with trench warfare and if you do not have it on the DL and OL you end up drafting like Jerry Dumbo GM Jones having 27 years of nothing.

NO way. In a good year for WR's this kid is 2nd or 3rd round talent.

Its amazing, everyone was crying for a WR, we traded for a really good one in Cooks and your still trying to draft one in the first round in a bad WR draft.

You dont reach for players at a position when its a poor year for them. Get WR another year when they are loaded.

This is the year to take a RB, TE, CB, Edge, OT,

You've got to be kidding? There are several WRs that are definitely 1st round worthy. Zay Flowers is one of them. We definitely need another legit young WR talent since Cooks is about to turn 30 and is only signed through 2024. Plus, we don't need no TE. We already have 4 good TEs on the team. Same goes for CB. The only RB worthy of a 1st round pick is Bijan Robinson. Maybe that Gibbs RB from Alabama. Edge is another position we don't need. We already have 4 bonafied Edge rushers. Same goes for O-Tackle.
We already have 4 OTs. The bigger need might be at Guard. How about DT? That's definitely a much bigger need affecting our Defense.

Agreed. Only thing is we can't just be drafting OL in the 1st round. What about the 3rd, 4th or 5th rounds like the Oline Great Wall of Dallas of the 90s? What we need is a darn good Oline coach who can coach up mid draft talent. Save the early draft rounds for playmaking positions.

Best Available Player of Need always. If its not an OL (which I was just listing needs more than a WR), then draft that BAPON at 26. I want a DL preferably a DT that can stop the run and pass rush. But, In my opinion there is no WR in this draft that has a legitimate solid 1st round grade. There are DT, DE, OL, CB, TE, LB, etc with solid legit 1st round grades.

My perfect world would have Jalen Carter fall out of the top 5, then I would give up the no.26 pick, a 4th round, and no.1 next year to get the best player in the draft. He might fall due to the injury, bad game vs. Ohio St., and the Car accident/incident. But the Jimmy Johnson days are gone. GMs are smarter, I think :)

We do have 3 good TEs: Ferguson, Hendershot & McKeon
I don’t think we can say any of those guys are “good”.

We’ll see if Ferguson can produce consistently but they other guys are forced backups imo.

I could see TE in the first three rounds.

Jalen Carter is not dropping. Someone will take him in the top 10 picks.

Ferguson and Hendershot both had similar results (100+ yards receiving) with an average yards-per-catch around 9.3 and 2 TDs due to very limited playtime. 9.3 ypc is very good. No reason to waste an early round pick on a TE when we already have 2 very good, talented and capable TEs who can both start. Their backups are good developing backups as well. Use our early round picks on true positions of need like WR, RB, DT, O-Guard or LB.

I won’t cry if we don’t take one and I’d much prefer a DT and OG before a tight end but I’m all for giving Dak more weapons.
