The Dallas Cowboys had a solid enough draft, but one position notably wasn’t addressed.
Heading into the NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys knew that adding a receiver to help CeeDee Lamb was a top priority.
But once Tetairoa McMillan was off the board with the Carolina Panthers selecting him at No. 8 overall, Dallas pivoted and went for guard Tyler Booker.
However, the rest of the draft played out, and the Cowboys didn’t add a single receiver through seven rounds. Two undrafted free agents, Traeshon Holden and Josh Kelly, were signed post-draft.
So, many wonder where Dallas goes from here to get Lamb more help and a receiver who can impact the offense and isn’t just a “guy”.
“The train has not left the station if improvement is needed from what we’ve got on campus,” owner Jerry Jones said. “We don’t have to be through at receiver in any way. Definitely, the idea that we could, if the opportunity comes up, we want to, could address this in free agency.”

If the Cowboys were to play a game today, Dak Prescott’s weapons would consist of Lamb, Jalen Tolbert, Jonathan Mingo, Jalen Brooks, Parris Campbell, Ryan Flournoy, and KaVaonte Turpin.
That isn’t ideal.
So, where can the Cowboys go? Keenan Allen, Diontae Johnson, and Tyler Boyd are the “top” options in the free agency market if Dallas wants a genuine option at WR2.
Jerry stated the train hasn’t left the station on the idea of improving the receiver room, and in truth, Dallas had a great draft with the talent brought in, but with the current receiver room, it simply isn’t good enough.
Jones talked about “substantive” trades, and based on the look of Dak’s weapons right now, something has to be done to improve Lamb’s help.
It would be football malpractice if the franchise didn’t.
