CeeDee Lamb, WR

The Dallas Cowboys caught the attention of experts and fans when they elected to use the No. 17 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on former Oklahoma standout CeeDee Lamb. Many expected them to force a selection to address a more pressing roster need in favor of adding a receiver.

There were real struggles from the Cowboys’ offense when it came to executing against winning teams and proficient pass defenses. Teams would focus on neutralizing Amari Cooper, who was already limited by injury. The rest of the unit often couldn’t overcompensate.

Having a receiver like Lamb could be critical for the Cowboys immediately. He can play at multiple spots in the offense and has an explosive ability to make big plays after the catch. When factoring in that he will be a complementary option, the potential is scary.

With the best receiver trio in the NFL, opposing teams will have a tough time slowing down the Cowboys’ passing attack. If Lamb manages to thrive as a rookie, Dallas could end up being truly elite overall and not just against teams without winning records.
