Barring injuries and a resultant total collapse by the Cowboys, there's no way Ginn will be available when we draft. Also don't forget Parcells doesn't like to draft WRs in the first round. Besides we've already got 2 WR prospects who I'd like a chance to see more of--particularly Miles Austin whose 6-3, 215, 22 yoa & runs a 4.57. That doesn't make him the fatest player in the world so I don't see him as Terry Glenn's successor but Austin has very good hands but need improve his route running and work ethic. But I could easy see him as another TO, but w/o the issues. Hopefully Cowboys play well the rest of the season and maybe even have a chance to take a look at some of our younger players before the season ends. I know it's unlikely we will get so lucky that one of our younger WRs could become a #1 WR but we've certainly been lucky of late--see Romo & Gramatica. So who knows.
BTW: Parcells wanted put McQuistan, Hurd & Austin on our PS so they could be developed. Our scouts who check these things out for us came back and said all 3 players had attracted enough attention that they certain we'd lose all 3 of these players if we attempted get them thru waivers. Parcells must have agreed cause he stated in a PC that he was getting phone calls from other teams re certain players. In fact he elected cut Pettiti to keep McQuistan. Since Crayton (a 7th round pick) has worked out so well for us, I'll give Parcells benefit of the doubt with both Hurd & Austin.
