The Dallas Cowboys cannot hide their need to add to the receiver position is alongside CeeDee Lamb.
And so there is no need to hide their interest in using the No. 12 pick in April’s NFL Draft to find a premier wide receiver who can not only bring an immediate spark, but who also can become an immediate starter.
That guy might very well be Arizona receiver Tetairoa McMillan, who many scouts say is not only the best wideout in the class, but also the one who can most quickly play at a “WR1” level.
And this weekend, the Cowboys staff got a close-up look at McMillan, who last year totaled 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns on his way to earning All-American recognition.
What did Dallas see as McMillan’s worked at Arizona’s Pro Day?
He ran a dazzling 4.48 in the 40-yard dash. … and he did it while being listed at 6-5 and 212 pounds.
Some are criticizing Dallas for a lack of urgency at the receiver position in free agency, and we continue to push the idea that a signing of a Keenan Allen or a Stefon Diggs doesn’t block owner Jerry Jones’ team from also fishing for a receiver in the first round. …
And that at the same time, a big-time free agency move creates a situation in which Dallas takes McMillan not because they “need” him, but rather because he is both available and ranked at No. 12 or higher on personnel boss Will McClay’s big board.
Either way, if the Dak Prescott-led Cowboys land “Tet,” they figure to be taking a huge step toward a fix to their wideout concerns heading into 2025.
