Will the 2021 draft be a first-round repeat of last year for the Dallas Cowboys?

Entering the 2020 NFL Draft, the position of wide receiver was not viewed as a priority for the Dallas Cowboys. After all, America’s Team had just signed Pro Bowl wideout Amari Cooper to a five-year, $100 million deal the month prior. And 2018 third-rounder, Michael Gallup, was coming off his first 1,000-yard season as a receiver.

The Cowboys’ biggest needs were deemed to be defensive at this very same time last year.
