Justin Watson – Wide Receiver

Position Criteria: Height: 6’1, Weight: 205lbs, 4.4 speed

PFF: 52.7

McCarthy likes big and fast receivers that can win off the line, and Watson who’s been with the Buccaneers and Chiefs, could be a nice addition to Dallas.

We know that their passing game isn’t going to be doing as much down the field, and in McCarthy’s offense it would allow Watson to just that speed to do damage on underneath routes much like he did during his time with the Chiefs. This move also wouldn’t stop the Cowboys from seeing if Jalen Tolbert has been able to develop or draft a receiver early in the draft. It is a way for them to cover all their bases before the draft.
