It says nothing we all didn't already know. It does NOT say we would use our first pick on a WR and it's already been confirmed we were shocked Lamb was still there and jumped on it. I love that we kept PHI from getting him, that's for sure.

I think if Hurts is there in the 3rd they are taking him.

Didn’t I say this earlier? They will also be able to get out from under Tyron’s contract in 2021 with only $1.7M in dead money.
Demarcus Lawrence’s dead money in 2022 will be $10M.
Also with the expected huge increases in the cap in 2022-2023 the cap shouldn’t be a problem. They should have zero issues resigning Gallup. Even Dak’s new contract (even if it’s $40M per) shouldn’t handcuff the team.

Yes you had a "need at WR-3" with the best available player....BEST AVAILABLE PLAYER OF A NEED (BAPON) RANK HIGHEST ON THE DRAFT BOARD. Behold the Lamb of Jones...CeeDee Lamb 6-1-198, 4.50 40yd time, 341/2 inch vertical jump, freshman starter and Frosh All American, and ended his sooner than later with 62 receptions for 1,327 yards (21.4 per, tops in the FBS among those with 40+ receptions) and 14 touchdowns in 13 starts.
Lamb was higher ranked by every draft expert over Chaisson (1 year wonder) and McKinney (never take an good safety in the 1st only super great ones). He fills a big need as the Cowboys are in shoot gun a lot with 3 WRs. They also have insurance with Cooper's injuries. Lamb has that gliding explosiveness that is hard to cover, and did have a Punt return for a TD call back by penalty. So, there may be more to meet the eye to not Passover Lamb.
But watch it! You have used 2 1st round picks at WR in back to back years and the Cowboys lost critical games because they let the Rams run over them for +250 yards in a playoff game, the Bears and Bills QBs run up and down the field, and could not stop an Eagles offense with a bunch of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th string practice squad players on offense. Don't want to be like the Detroit Lions of 2003-2007 with 4 1st round picks at WR and nothing else.
Now lets look at the roster reality. Based on BAPON you know there is a lot of big depth at WR in this draft. So what should have happened; a trade down for a no.1 pick next year, a 2nd and 4th/5th rounder this year. In the draft today at WR is Mims, Higgins, Pittman, Claypool, Sheanult, and Hamler (who actually is a slot WR/KR). I am pretty sure one or 2 WRs fall to the 3rd or 4th round. WR-Duvernay, Edwards, Bowden, Johnson, Hill, and Peoples-Jones may be there in rounds 4-6.
There is still a lot left on the draft board but not a lot of picks to draft to continue with BAPON and let the value on defense fall to your rankings with S-Delpit, McKinney, C/G-Cushenberry, DE-Matos, Empenza, Lewis, DT-Baylock, Davidson, Gallimore, Madubuike, LB-Queen, Baun, Chinn, Harrison, Okwara, CB-Fulton, Diggs, Johnson, OT/OG-Cleveland, Wanogho, and Peart.
So CeeDee Lamb better be as good as Irvin, Cooper, Bryant out of college to the Pros. He has some Odell Beckham like qualities with body control, not with speed, has quickness, and athleticism. I can not find a true wrong as he was by a long shot the BAPON at pick 17.
However, too much WR depth in this draft to pick a WR pick in the 1st round and glaring needs on defense to not trade down are my only faults with Lamb as BAPON pick. Yes Jerry had a Cee Dee Lamb, a Cee Dee Lamb, a Cee Dee Lamb. Jerry had a Cee Dee Lamb who was to good for Passover.
