With Cole Beasley sounding like a man ready to leave the Dallas Cowboys, we look at three potential replacements in the 2019 NFL Draft

Undrafted out of SMU in 2012, Cole Beasley became a very valuable member of the Dallas Cowboys offense. After posting just 15 receptions as a rookie, Beasley improved his total to 39 the following season.

After continuing to hone his craft, Beasley had his best season in 2016 when he caught 75 passes for 833 yards and five touchdowns. He was the favorite target of Dak Prescott that season but didn’t have the same success the following year.

Now after getting back on track with 65 receptions for 672 yards, the slot machine is about to become a free agent and it seems like he could be on the way out of Dallas. Beasley recently took to Twitter to express the feeling that he hasn’t been properly utilized in Dallas.

"“Honestly, the front office pushes who they want to get the ball to,” Beasley said on Twitter via Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. “I haven’t been a huge priority in that regard. Maybe that will change but I’m not sure. More balls come my way in two-minute drill where nothing is planned.”"

His criticism is fair as there were very few offensive players used correctly by the Cowboys in 2018. That’s why they parted with offensive coordinator Scott Linehan after losing in the second round of the playoffs.

That could be too little too late as Beasley may be ready for a change of scenery. If he is, the Cowboys could look to the 2019 NFL Draft to find his replacement. If they do, here are three names to keep an eye on.
