The Dallas Cowboys have added another receiver in the first round of the NFL
draft. Dallas took former Oklahoma standout CeeDee Lamb 17th overall. The choice
came not long after the Cowboys gave Amari Cooper a $100 million, five-year
contract. Dallas passed on defensive needs, but Lamb was still there after being
projected to go higher. Lamb’s breakaway threat gives quarterback Dak Prescott
another weapon as Dallas continues to work on a long-term contract for its star
quarterback. The Cowboys have the 51st overall pick in the second round and the
82nd overall choice in the third round.
