What did we learn, if anything?

Mike McCarthy’s former second-round draft picks don’t really favor the offense or defense one way or the other. It’s almost split right down the middle (9-17 offense), which really doesn’t help us too much determining if he’s targeting one side of the ball over the other. What stood out to me the most though was the home runs he’s hit at the WR position. Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, and Davante Adams have all had fantastic careers. Don’t be surprised if this is where the Dallas Cowboys start targeting a WR. If not WR though, a DB is certainly possible. It’s the next highest targeted position (4 CBs, 1 S).
