The Dallas Cowboys are expected to make wide receiver CeeDee Lamb one of the highest, if not the highest paid wide receivers in NFL history in the near future.
Lamb is essential to the Cowboys’ passing attack as he accounted for over 1,700 yards in 2023. However, another weapon could be on the way.
The Dallas Cowboys Are Being Linked To An Electric Wide Receiver
The 33rd Team released a mock draft for 2025, and they had the Cowboys taking Emeka Egbuka out of Ohio State:
Unless the Dallas Cowboys see Jalen Tolbert breakout this season, there’s a massive need for a quality second playmaker next to CeeDee Lamb.
Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka is similar to Lamb as someone who wins all over the field and in different roles so the two can coexist and thrive together. Egbuka’s well-roundedness will help him contribute better on Day 1 than most in this class.
This is Pro Football Network’s strengths on Egbuka:
- Uniquely built WR with a lean, compact, yet long-limbed frame and solid density.
- Explosive long-strider who can use urgent yet expansive strides to surge downfield.
- Brings instant acceleration out of stems, which he can use to easily stack displaced DBs.
- Has the flexibility to maintain stride lengths while bending and accelerating into space.
- With high-end change of direction, can freely swivel and stack lateral transitions.
- Master zone navigator with anticipatory feel for spacing, hip sink, and throttle freedom.
- Combined burst, flexibility, deception, snap, and IQ yield elite separation potential.
- Will use controlled leans to dictate DB angles upfield and exploit overaggression.
- Already has a vast route tree and is often intentional with head fakes and manipulation.
- Has shown he can make high-difficulty catch-point adjustments with quick reactions.
- Fairly consistent hands-catcher who flashes an understanding of timing and technique.
- Can use swipes and arm-bars to scrape through contact over the middle of the field.
- Dynamic run-after-catch weapon with explosiveness, speed, and alignment versatility.
- Has the grating play strength to pry through solo tackles and churn upfield.
- Competent run blocker whose size, burst, and versatility serves him well.
It will be interesting to see how/when Dallas tries to upgrade their wide receiving corps.
