Dallas Cowboys: 7-Round 2020 mock draft replinishes free agency losses

Head coach Mike McCarthy is an offensive guy who made his living throwing the football. Now with the Dallas Cowboys, McCarthy is saying he will run the ball more with Ezekiel Elliott, but that doesn’t mean he won’t attack through the air.

They also have the same offensive coordinator calling plays this season they did in 2019 in Kellen Moore. As a first-year play-caller, Moore led the Cowboys to the No. 1 offense in terms of yardage (according to NFL.com). They were also incredibly balanced, finishing second in passing with 296.9 yards per game and fifth in rushing at 134.6 per contest.

With that being said, expect McCarthy and Moore to continue to air it out. And with Randall Cobb leaving, they’re going to need another receiver. While they could still go the free-agent route, adding an explosive rookie is never a bad idea and that’s exactly what K.J. Hamler is.

The Penn State product played two years for the Nittany Lions and finished with 98 receptions for 1,658 yards with 13 touchdowns. That gave him an average of nearly 17 yards per catch, with most of that damage coming from the slot. He also had some experience as a kick returner but the Cowboys plans for him will be centered around using him on offense with Michael Gallup and Amari Cooper. That’s not a bad trio.
