Full Scouting Report On WR Michael Gallup, Cowboys’ 3rd-Round Pick

FRISCO, Texas – A full breakdown of the Cowboys’ third-round draft pick (No. 81 overall) Friday night:

Name: Michael Gallup

Position: Wide Receiver

College: Colorado State

Height/Weight: 6-1/200


The Rundown:

Gallup posted a Colorado State record 100 catches for nearly 1,500 yards last season and became only the fourth consensus All-American in school history. Gallup, a Biletnikoff Award finalist last year, is a polished route-runner with sure hands and solid speed (4.5-second 40-yard dash). The former junior-college transfer scored 21 touchdowns in two years as a starter for the Rams.


How He Fits In:

Wide receiver was widely considered a top need for Dallas after the club parted ways with veteran starter Dez Bryant earlier this month. Free-agent signings Allen Hurns and Deonte Thompson add veteran depth, but Gallup will have an opportunity to earn snaps on offense.


Broaddus' Take:

This is a guy that could be in the top three of the position or could be lower depending on how you feel about him.
There are scouts that really like him and others that have him behind some of the other receivers, like Christian Kirk and D.J. Moore.
The film shows a player that is a good route runner and finisher.
He’ll need some initial work coming off the ball with his release but that shouldn’t be too difficult to fix.
His downfield separation is good with big play ability in his hands.
What is most impressive about his work is his ability to carry his routes anywhere on the field.
He is not limited to a few routes but is open to various types.
Gallup gives you options, which can’t be said about many of the receivers in this draft.

Next Cowboys Pick: 4th Round (116th overall)

Well, I don't hate the pick in lower half of the third round. I still want to see another LB and also a TE though, especially with the Witten rumor.

Witten's status is beyond "rumor".

This guy's size and measurables are eerily similar to Juju Smith-Schuster. I think he could be an impact guy for us in year one.

Not to be a DFDC, or anything, but Marshall shut him down pretty much in last year's bowl game.
