The Dallas Cowboys rare activity early on in free agency this offseason has thrown the draft process into a complete unknown for the Dallas Cowboy fanbase. What once seemed like a certainty, that the best corner or receiver available was going to be headed to the Cowboys at pick No. 26, is no longer that.
The additions of Stephon Gilmore on a one-year deal, but more precisely Brandin Cooks for an affordable two years, have changed the priority level. This could open the door for a Day 2 prospect like Marvin Mims to find a landing spot with the Cowboys.
Dallas still has a sneaky need at receiver. It isn’t a first-round priority any longer, but Michael Gallup is still an unknown, while Cooks and CeeDee Lamb both only have two years left on their deals. Beyond those three, the WR corps is completely unproven. Mims, the all-time leading receiver in high school football history with 5,485 yards, could be the guy Dallas pairs with Lamb for the future.
Mims, simply put, has always produced at high levels. As a high school senior he broke records bringing in 117 receptions for 2,629 yards, and 32 scores. As a college freshman he scored nine touchdowns while his QB had a rating of 139.5 when targeting Mims. As a sophomore he averaged 22 yards per reception, and in his junior year he put up an excellent season with 52 catches for over 1,000 yards and six touchdowns.
