Matthew Golden has been the wide receiver most linked to the Cowboys in this year's NFL Draft, but if it was up to Zach Wolchuk, he'd be taking a different pass catcher. He explained to Shan and Bobby why Ohio State's Emeka Egbuka would be his choice at #12 if Tetairoa McMillan is gone in the video above.

00:00is golden your next no igbuka is my next okay talk to me a little bit about him because i'm
00:20starting to hear a little bit more buzz on the on the tet level with him and would cowboy fans
00:26be disappointed if they ended up with him i think some cowboy fans might be because there's been
00:31such a momentum over the last 10 days or so with matthew golden and golden's a texas kid
00:36but they shouldn't be i mean i i like igbuka more as i mentioned earlier i i think he's one of the
00:41safest players more than golden more than golden i think the route running is better uh he's
00:46definitely not as fast but i think that he he is an explosive player i mean there are times where
00:50you will see ohio state throw a screen to him they'll throw an underneath route that he'll end
00:55up breaking free for a 50 yard touchdown i love the size he did play primarily in the slot this
01:00past year but he is a guy that i think at 6-1-2-0-5 he can play any three of the spots in his
01:06freshman year when he had jackson smith and jigba now and jigba was hurt a lot that season but he
01:10had to play on the outside he's constantly had to be the robin to whether it was in jigba whether it
01:17was marvin harrison jr jeremiah smith last year and he's really been a 1a to their one but you talk
01:23about leadership you talk about wanting to build a culture the dude is nfl ready he's a great person
01:30and the run blocking i think is the best in the draft he is going to do all the dirty work for
01:36you talk about condensed formations and you've got a wide receiver that's going to help you out
01:41and improve your running game i think schottenheimer's going to like that a lot and i understand
01:44maybe that's an eye roll i'm not drafting a wide receiver for his blocking that matters when we were
01:49envious over what the san francisco 49ers offense was doing when they were kicking the cowboys ass in
01:54the playoffs debo samuel's blocking brandon i use blocking this receiving core is not good maybe
01:59that's mingo's best strength good right and cd lane will put effort in there occasionally but
02:04overall they lack the ability to run block igbuka is there i love the awareness i think he's got good
02:10hands uh and and the only issue is maybe there's some concentration drops every once in a while
02:16but the body control is there i love him i i think he's can't miss and for the cowboys who have
02:22really the last two years you've got question marks about their first round picks you're not
02:26going to have a question mark about a mechik buka
