The Dallas Cowboys have a ton of talent on their roster, but in 2022 they once again felt a bit top heavy. When it came to the wide receiver position, CeeDee Lamb was took the leap from Pro Bowl receiver to elite, ramping up his production after the jettisoning of teammate Amari Cooper. From 79 receptions for 1,102 yards and six touchdowns, Lamb hauled in 112 catches for 1,359 yards and nine scores.
But behind him, the trough was empty. Dallas foolishly thought they could move on from Cooper without replacing him. The ACL-recovering Michael Gallup was augmented by free-agent-failure signing of James Washington and elevated reserve Noah Brown. They were not enough and Dallas seemingly learned their lesson. This offseason, they traded for Brandin Cooks to be their No. 2 receiver and it looks on paper to be a home-run decision.
