Default WR draft class

Like many of you, I have been lounging about watching the Combine. I am interested in another opinion(s). This WR class is quite a bit better that I expected...or am I off base. A couple of the non-top-names did well (Iglesias, Robiskie, etc...), and there do seem to be a number of guys that may be studs at the next level.

What do you think? BTW, I also really liked the Centers yesterday as well. Tackles seem good too, but the Guards looked rough.

I would like for Dallas to take a reciever with pure speed who has played the position for at least 4 years. No more projects like Stanback who might have been better off staying at QB.

I think Robiskie is going to be a very solid player in this league with longevity. I'd consider him in round three.

I like Robiskie...as you indicated the guy has a solid ten-year pro written all over him.

He reminds me of a young Amani Toomer (he was not always slow) both physically and with his plus intangibles.

Very fast for McKinley...he will definately see his stock rise since the guy has a reputation of being a good route runner with nice hands.

The #1 guy I've had my eye on is Kenny Britt who we may realistically have a shot at to nab in the 2nd round. Have heard he has some character concerns, but as far as talent and production, very few compare that we have a shot at.

87 catches
1,371 yards
7 TDs

I know we won't go WR in the 2nd round, but if we did, I would hope it is Britt.

I really like Underwood and Butler.

Butler is more likely because I think he will be there in the later rounds.

I'd like to see a speed guy also. He doesn't necessarily need to be someone you would expect to be a #1WR but just a solid pro. Someone like that could easily push Stanback or Hurd. If we could get that player in the 3rd or later that would be great.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.
