Dallas Cowboys WR Amari Cooper could play more from the slot with the Cowboys drafting WR CeeDee Lamb in the first round Thursday, April 23, according to one NFL personnel analyst.
Footballguys View: Lamb and Michael Gallup on the outside are a formidable duo by themselves. Move Cooper into the slot and you’re really dangerous. The Cowboys have a ton of options, and more weapons for QB Dak Prescott, with Lamb picked in the first round on Thursday night.
Dolphins | Tua Tagovailoa elicits security

Flores added, though, it’s too early to speculate when the rookie might get on the field this coming season.

Footballguys View: Samuel is likely to find a new home if the Panthers can find the right offer. He’s a threat after the catch and can turn short catches into long gains. The Panthers added WR Robby Anderson in free agency and D.J. Moore continues to get better and better. Samuel needs a fresh start with a new team where he could actually see the field more.
