Cowboys choose receiver Matthew Golden over Tetairoa McMillan

The Dallas Cowboys are facing an important decision in the upcoming NFL draft, holding the 12th pick after a tough season. Injuries affected their performance, and now they need to strengthen their roster, especially at wide receiver. Their star receiver, CeeDee Lamb, is effective, but they require another option to complement him. In a recent mock draft, analyst Daniel Jeremiah surprised many by predicting the Cowboys would not select top receiver prospect Tetairoa McMillan. Instead, he suggested they might choose Matthew Golden, a speedy six-foot receiver from Texas. Many find this unexpected, as McMillan was once viewed as a consensus top 10 pick. McMillan’s draft stock has declined, falling to predictions of 22nd overall to the Los Angeles Chargers. A talented athlete at 6 feet 5 inches, McMillan is known for his smooth movements and strong catching ability. This steep decline in his draft position has puzzled fans and analysts alike. The current receiver class is not as strong as last year's, which included top talents like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers. As the draft approaches, many are left wondering why McMillan's stock is dropping so significantly. For the Cowboys, passing on a player with McMillan's skills for someone like Golden could be a challenging choice.
