Cowboys Arrange 'Dallas Day' Visit With 'Deebo 2.0' Prospect

However, he’s not yet a receiver you can rely on to consistently beat press coverage or run a full route tree. Any team drafting him must have a clear plan to manufacture touches and maximize his athleticism, much like TCU did down the stretch of the 2024 season.

That’s exactly why the Cowboys will take a closer look at him during their annual “Dallas Day” event—a pre-draft workout where they evaluate local prospects without using one of their 30 official visits. 

It’s an invaluable tool that has helped them identify late-round talent in the past, and Williams’ unique profile makes him one of the most intriguing names on their radar. 

But with a four-year "win-it" window, the Cowboys have to be brutally honest with themselves. Can their new coaching staff develop Williams into an immediate contributor? Or is he too much of a project for a team desperate for immediate impact playmakers?

It should be relatively simple, just hand him the football or dump it to him over and over again on shallow drags or screens. But then again, that's what we thought about Hunter Leupke, Deuce Vaughn, and Kavontae Turpin and we've still yet to see any of their skill sets maximized. 

If Dallas had more than one dependable receiver, this would be a different conversation. But as it stands, they don’t have the luxury of waiting on a long-term project, even if that project is an elite physical talent. 

Perhaps Jerry Jones finds a way to add a proven veteran receiver before the draft, allowing the team to take a bigger swing on a developmental player like Williams. ... with hopes he doesn't go elsewhere before Round 3 or 4.

Until then, the Cowboys need weapons who can contribute right away—and they must get these decisions right. Keep a close eye on Savion Williams, because the talent is undeniable. The real question is whether the Cowboys can afford to wait for it to develop.
