5 draft WRs Cowboys can add to Lamb if Pickens doesn't last longterm
Two slot receivers, one giant outside receiver, and two over 6-foot receivers who play everywhere are in the top five prospects in the 2026 draft.
The receiving options from the 2025 draft were unique. The smaller, quicker, shiftier route runners flooded the draft last season. The taller, physical, outside options were limited, aside from top-10 pick Tetairoa McMillan.
The 2026 draft prospects at receiver are a return to the normal big-bodied receivers who have better body control and catch radius but lack route running, yards after catch, and separation. Many of the top five options would be solid comps to Cowboys receiver George Pickens , which may end up being a sneaky-good thing for Dallas. If Dallas were looking at the position in the top 50 picks, it would likely be to replace Pickens, who doesn’t have a long-term contract and looks to be playing on the franchise tag in 2026.
The Cowboys have had Omar Cooper Jr. as one of their 30 visit options , so it isn’t out of the question that they look towards a new second receiving option within these top five receiver prospects of the draft. WR KC Concepcion, Texas A&M KC Concepcion fits with last season’s prospects more than most.
He measured in at under 6 feet and 200 pounds, but played mostly on the outside. He does a great job avoiding press coverage with excellent releases, and he understands route-running nuances, like coming back for the ball and being immediate at route breaks. He doesn’t fit in a typical “X” receiving role on the outside.
