If you were shocked by the decision to select with the 17th-overall pick in the 2020 , don’t worry, you weren’t alone. Lamb himself had to do a double take when his phone rang and the caller ID had a Dallas area code, instantly mushrooming an already interesting evening into one that was that much more so. After all, Lamb was a consensus top-2 wide receiver in this year’s draft cla s, but Henry Ruggs III was the first to go off the board. The second was , and Lamb found himself free-falling Steve McNair Jersey right into Cowboys personal space.Having to choose between the player they were ready to select in EDGE rusher , three po sible trade back options, and Lamb — and made Lamb only the sixth wideout chosen by the Cowboys in their storied history. He’s the first since was chosen in 2010, and only Michael Irvin and Alvin Harper were selected higher than Lamb, at 11th-overall and 12th-overall, respectively.” Tennessee Titans Jersey ,” Lamb said of the Cowboys giving him the nod, via 105.3FM the Fan. “I didn’t see this coming, but I’m glad it did. … I wasn’t expecting it, but I’m definitely excited. I can’t really put it into words, but I’m definitely grateful for this opportunity.”I can’t thank Jerry Jones enough for bringing me into Dallas and I can’t wait to get to the organization and get to work.” He’s even chosen his number already, although time will tell if it sticks.”We rocking No. 10 this year — yes sir,” he said gleefully.Lamb is a Consensus All-American standing who stands at Curley Culp Jersey 6-foot-2 and weighs in at 198 pounds, making him an ideal talent outside the hashes, but also in the slot. The expectation is he’ll be flexed between the X, Z as well as the slot, much in the same way currently does. doesn’t usually get in on the slot action, but don’t rule that out in 2020, as head coach Mike McCarthy works to make an already potent Cowboys offense virtually indefensible. By adding Lamb, they inject a First-Team All-Big 12 talent who delivered 1,000-yard seasons in his last two campaigns for the Oklahoma Sooners.In 2019 alone, he scored seven touchdowns from the slot and his other seven as an outside threat.”I’m ready to play wherever,” Lamb said when asked if he has a preference heading into Dallas. The addition of Lamb , and that’s not hyperbole.They were top five in points per game in 2019 and the best in the league in yards per DaQuan Jones Jersey contest. had a career-best season that fell just shy of a franchise record in single-season pa sing yards and had 30 touchdowns to only 11 interceptions, and they logged two 1,000-yard receivers in both Cooper and Gallup — all of this despite the WR unit having routinely been the worst in the entire when it came to drops. Losing out on re-signing in free agency but replacing him with a le s-expensive definitive No. 1 wideout who’ll now be the No. 3 on a loaded Cowboys depth chart is like rolling a barrel of gunpowder into a Wesley Woodyard Jersey silo full of mi siles.So when it comes to Lamb buying into the po sibility that the team could regularly hit the 40-point mark going forward? “Oh yeah, that’s definitely achievable,” he said. “I can’t wait to do that. It’s gonna be fun.”
