Cowboys Rumors: Zay Flowers to Visit DAL After Brandin Cooks Trade Ahead of NFL Draft

The Dallas Cowboys may not be done adding wide receivers just yet.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported the Cowboys are hosting Boston College wideout Zay Flowers for a visit Monday.

Flowers is the No. 26 overall player and fourth-ranked wide receiver on ESPN's draft board.

One of the smallest receivers in the 2023 class, Flowers measured in at 5'9" and 182 pounds at the combine. He would be an interesting pick for the Cowboys given CeeDee Lamb's production in the slot.

Lamb was the NFL's most productive slot receiver last season, hauling in 63 receptions and 867 yards lining up on the inside. Nearly 64 percent of Lamb's receiving yards came out of the slot.

While Flowers' size would theoretically limit him in some instances, he spent most of his time playing outside in college and said he'll be able to move around the field in the pros.

"I'm not just a slot (receiver)," Flowers told reporters at the combine. " 75 percent of my snaps were played outside, and I think I can move around and play any position that they put me at."

Dallas made a concerted effort to improve its receiving corps this offseason, trading for veteran Brandin Cooks. The team will also be hoping Michael Gallup returns to form after a miserable 2022 campaign. Returning from a torn ACL, Gallup managed just 39 receptions for 424 yards and four touchdowns.

In that sense, adding a receiver like Flowers to an already-established veteran trio might seem like a superfluous pick at No. 26. That said, Gallup and Cooks could both be gone after the 2023 season, and Flowers would be cost-controlled for the next four seasons.
