In total, the Cowboys have wide receiver Keon Coleman from Florida State, wide receiver Troy Franklin from Oregon, wide receiver Adonai Mitchell from Texas, wide receiver Javon Baker from UCF, and wide receiver Javon Baker from Washington. He had official meetings at the combine with at least seven wide receivers and four running backs, including: Receiver Jalen McMillan, LSU wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy, Florida State running back Trey Benson, Kentucky running back Ray Davis, Notre Dame running back Audric Estim, Tennessee running back Jalen Wright, and Wisconsin running back Braylon Allen.
The Cowboys went lightweight at the running back position heading into their official meeting at the combine after playing against a number of top players at the running back position in the East-West Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl. Running back Jonathan Brooks from Texas was selected as the consensus No. 1 choice in one of the Shrine Bowl meetings.
CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks are entrenched as the top two receivers in Mike McCarthy's offense, and while it may come as a surprise to some that he has more meetings with wide receivers, Cooks is in the final year of his contract. In 2024, the team will need to strengthen these two players. , using an early pick at receiver may not be out of the equation.
Franklin, Mitchell, Thomas Jr. and Coleman are each receiving first-round projections from various reputable mock drafts, with Coleman being one of the most interesting players due to his relationship with CeeDee Lamb. The two grew up in Opelousas, Louisiana, before Lamb moved to the Houston area after Hurricane Katrina, and Coleman said Friday that they are cousins.
NFL Combine media appearances will conclude Saturday with the introduction of offensive linemen, a position group expected to receive a lot of attention from the Dallas Cowboys in Indianapolis this week.
