The Facts: When the virtual dust came to its settling point on the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, just as many had predicted, there was no surprise that an abundance of wide receivers had been plucked in the opening salvo. Six were taken in all. However, in a borderline stunning development, Lamb was still there for the taking at No. 17. And the Cowboys, seemingly shaking off their bewilderment, pounced and got perhaps the best receiver of this stellar class. It was a shock to just about everyone involved -- including the standout Sooner. "I didn't [think it was possible], but I'm happy that's where I ended up," Lamb said, via the team website.

Diehards Line:As NFL.com notes, with Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup on the receiving end of Dak Prescott offerings, the Cowboys offense was already a force and Lamb's addition makes it a staggering prospect to game plan against. It was simply too good a proposition to pass by. Lamb emerges from Oklahoma after a solid freshman campaign and two terrific years to follow in which he surpassed 60 catches in each of the last two campaigns, toppling 1,100 yards receiving just the same and combining for 25 touchdowns. "We thought he was a top-10 pick," Cowboys chief operation officer Stephen Jones said Thursday night. "We never really thought we had a chance to get him. Every mock draft we did, we had him long gone."
