It’s time to take a break from the hardwood and get back on the gridiron. With the NFL Draft quickly approaching, my mind can’t help but wonder what my beloved Dallas Cowboys will do. We’ve been pretty solid at drafting in the last decade, definitely better than most teams. Off the dome I’d say were a top 5 drafting team, we just usually don’t use other ways to get better like free agency or trades. Regardless, as long as we don’t have another Taco Charlton on our hands we should be fine. Let’s dig in.
Dallas has apparently taken a significant amount of their top 30 visits looking at WRs.
Here’s a complete list of everyone we’ve visited so far (via CBS Sports). Let’s focus on a couple of these guys.
Zay Flowers, Boston College
- From what I understand, it’s very unlikely this guy falls to us at 26. That automatically makes me want him more. There’s no better feeling than a guy falling to you out of nowhere (I’ll never forget you Ceedee Lamb draft night). Every podcast and tweet seems to say this guy is really good. I’m not one of the 8 Boston College fans in America so I can’t say I’ve really evaluated this guy properly. I’m immediately scared that he has the same height/weight measurables as me, a blogger. I always beware teams trying to chase the ‘next Tyreek Hill.’ Unless this guy is just one compact muscle squished together and can move faster than my perception then he’s not Tyreek Hill. I wouldn’t be mad at it, but I don’t think I’ll ever be hyped about drafting someone from Boston College.
Quentin Johnston, TCU
- My immediate reaction: ew, fuck no. This guy is such a fraud, and he comes from a fraud University. I will swear by the fact that his body type has tricked people into thinking he’s a first-round WR. He looks just like the prototypical X receiver except he doesn’t have the traits to back it up. I’m an OU fan, so unfortunately I’ve seen TCU play plenty of times, and I’m familiar with his game. He also basically dropped every pass at his pro day. If we draft this guy I will kill myself.
Jalin Hyatt, Tennessee
- Jalin Hyatt aka Mr. Fast Guy aka Mr. 5 TDs against Bama. That’s about the extent of my knowledge of this guy. I love the idea of adding speed to our offense. Like a fatass at the beach, we rarely take the top off. I like this pick a lot more if it’s not in the 1st round. If we can get him in round 2 or later, I wouldn’t mind, but I’d prefer to invest in O-line or D-line early than this guy. He seems like a pure speed, gadget type of guy, and I prefer to avoid those personally. I like the well-rounded guys that bring multiple things to the table. I guess that might be too much to ask for at fucking pick 26.
Tank Dell, Houston
- The name Tank Dell already screams elite. I don’t have to know anything about this guy to tell you that he’s probably small and fast as fuck. I haven’t seen this guy mocked to R1 so if we can pick up later in the draft I suppose I wouldn’t complain.
My favorite WR in this class is Jaxon Smith-Njigba. It seems very unlikely at this point that Dallas could get him without trading up. I know he’s basically another Ceedee Lamb, but I ask you this: what’s better than 1 Ceedee Lamb? 2 Ceedee Lambs. Every Ohio State WR and coach has said this guy is the real fucking deal. He was the best guy in a locker room with Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson. He’s a slot guy that can just get open and your QBs best friend. I don’t even care that he runs a 4.8 40. The 40-yard dash is the most overrated bullshit when evaluating players. This guy is quick as fuck and football speed does NOT equal track speed. He also has a cool name and comes from a popular school. He should be a Cowboy.
If anyone would like to comment about who they think Dallas should draft, that’d be cool.
