1.18: WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State
With the departure of Cooks, comes the replacement through the draft. At 6-foot-1, 205 pounds Egbuka is asked to do similar things as CeeDee Lamb is in the Dallas offense. Spinning things forward though, that’s good as they’ve invested in Johnathan Mingo to be the big-body guy in the offense. Adding Egbuka to Lamb will confuse defensive coordinators over the next two years as both can be deployed as Z or slot receivers on any given play. Mix in Kavontae Turpin and that’s an interesting receiver mix out the gate for the next head coach and offensive coordinator.
2.46: Safety Kamari Ramsey, USC
Safety doesn’t feel like a huge need as Donovan Wison has just one year remaining on his deal and both primary youthful backups (Juanyeh Thomas, Markquese Bell) have recently suffered serious injuries, though Thomas could return from his meniscus tear this season. Ramsey is reported to have huge upside as a do-everything safety.
3.78: OG Tyler Booker, Alabama
The Cowboys may be ready to give Brock Hoffman an opportunity to replace Zack Martin next season. Still, they have other issues. Our (current) preferred fix is to move Tyler Smith outside to left tackle, cut Terence Steele loose and play Tyler Guyton at right tackle, and draft a left guard to fill in behind Smith when he shifts over. Booker is a mammoth left guard at 6-foot-5, 352 pounds, who plays big and strong and has a nasty attitude.
3.82: DI Darrell Jackson, Jr., Florida State
More beef for the trenches, as the Seminole stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 330 pounds. Good first-step quickness would add as a replacement for Osa Odighizuwa but in more of a dual-nose tackle role. Jackson reminds of Jordan Phillips, but not the version Dallas saw this season. The earlier model.
