Of the nine selections the Dallas Cowboys had in the 2017 NFL Draft, only two were spent on the offensive side of the ball. Both of those players, North Carolina’s Ryan Switzer and Ohio State’s Noah Brown, were wide receivers.
The fact that both of the Cowboys’ offensive rookies are wide outs should be very telling of how the team views their current receiver corps. Last season, America’s Team kept only five receivers on their active roster. Those players included Dez Bryant, Cole Beasley, Terrance Williams, Lucky Whitehead and Brice Butler.
