The Cowboys have one star receiver in CeeDee Lamb, but the depth behind him is questionable at best. Michael Gallup was released early in free agency, and Brandin Cooks was merely a serviceable No. 2 last season.
Cooks finished with just 657 receiving yards, though he did catch eight touchdown passes.
The good news is that tight end Jake Ferguson can augment the passing attack in a big way. The bad news is that Dallas’ depth at wide receiver is still lacking. Jalen Tolbert, who has just 280 receiving yards in two seasons, is now WR3. The Cowboys did nothing to bolster the position before taking a fifth-round flier on Ryan Flournoy.
Yes, Prescott passed for over 4,500 yards with 36 touchdowns last season while playing with a similar group. However, that doesn’t mean that depth isn’t a major concern. Dallas has Super Bowl aspirations, and those could go out the window if Lamb misses any significant amount of time.
Unfortunately, the remaining receiver market is lacking. Dallas could take a flier on Hunter Renfrow or Michael Thomas. However, it will most likely eye the trade market or try to make a value add after final roster cuts.
Either that, or the Cowboys will roll the dice with Lamb, Ferguson, and not a whole lot else.
