CeeDee Lamb

My main concern with CeeDee Lamb coming into the draft was that he didn't see much press coverage in the Big-12, he didn't show great proficiencies when he did face press coverage, and he's not as polished of a route-runner as some of the other guys in this class. Lamb landing in Dallas alleviates all of those concerns because I believe he's going to play in the slot for this offense. Slot receivers are aligned off the line of scrimmage, which prevents them from seeing press coverage. Lamb's going to be a target hog in this offense and he's in a great situation to succeed.

CeeDee Lamb selected No. 17 by Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys have selected wide receiver CeeDee Lamb with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Somehow, some way, the Dallas Cowboys had a receiver they discussed trading up for fall in their laps. Despite much bigger needs at other positions, CeeDee Lamb proved too tempting to pass up at 17th overall. The Dallas Cowboys now have one of the deadliest wide receiver trios in the entire NFL. Dallas is not the ideal spot for his immediate fantasy value, and he may be more of a WR3/4 option as a rookie.
