Cowboys Draft Dak Prescott Deep-Threat Weapon in 6-4 Brian Thomas Jr.: PFF Mock
The Dallas Cowboys had one of the best offenses in football last season as Dak Prescott finished second in MVP voting in his first year in coach Mike McCarthy's "Texas Coast Offense."
Meanwhile, there are a host of decisions to be made after yet another poor playoff loss, with the idea of cutting Michael Gallup gathering significant steam.
But if Dallas does, there will be a gap in the offense and while CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks showed what they can become in McCarthy's system, behind them there was a significant drop-off in production,
Could help be on the way in the NFL Draft?
In PFF's latest mock draft, Dak gets a genuine deep-threat receiver and one who is physically imposing and can do everything on the field - LSU's Brian Thomas Jr.
The lack of physicality on offense was shown up against the Green Bay Packers as McCarthy's unit was bullied from the opening snap.

But with Thomas Jr., the 6-4, 205-pound receiver could help change that.
Part of an offense with Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels, Thomas Jr. hauled in an impressive 17 touchdowns and 1,177 yards from his 68 receptions.
Thomas Jr. is as dynamic as they come on the field and has the size, along with excellent acceleration off the line of scrimmage to blow past defenders and give Dallas a genuine home-run threat - he's a big play waiting to happen on any snap.
Dallas could use a genuine, consistent vertical threat to supplement Lamb and Cooks. ... not to mention a red-zone big body. And maybe Jalen Tolbert and Jalen Brooks develop into helpers.
But in this mock, with Thomas Jr., McCarthy gets another weapon to plug into his offense as he fights for his job in a lame-duck season.
