Ranking every position on the Cowboys from worst to first
By Ali Jawad
6. Wide Receiver
Last year, the Cowboys struggled to find consistency at receiver outside of CeeDee Lamb and his All-Pro season.
Michael Gallup returned from a torn ACL but couldn’t get into a rhythm. In addition, last year's third-round pick Jalen Tolbert had a disappointing rookie season, and the rest of the group featured many inexperienced and practice squad-level players.
As we make our way closer to the 2023 season, Dallas should feel more confident about the unit. Lamb, a healthy Gallup, and a reliable Brandin Cooks should form a solid trio for quarterback Dak Prescott.
The Cowboys are, however, hoping to see better production and more involvement from Tolbert and, all around, can't afford any big-time injuries.
Still, the addition of Cooks is a big one for the offense. It almost seems Cooks can play that Cole Beasley or Randall Cobb-like role for this offense while also posing as a deep threat. Or if Gallup, who has been injury prone the last two seasons, goes down again, Cooks can easily slide into being Prescott’s number two option.
