1st day WR Draft Picks - more busts than normal?

[theogt]

That's part of my reasoning. I'm expecting a first-day draft pick to be brought in. As deep as next year's WR class is supposed to be, and as old as our starting two WR's are getting, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Dallas take a receiver early. I just don't see Crayton's job being safe next season with him being 28 and injury prone. It all depends on what the younger guys show, though.

So you're saying that it's possible that Crayton could be the 6th best WR (possibly 7th (we kept 6 WRs this year)) on our roster next year? Hey, if you're right I would be very happy.

Li'l Rector.

OK, morons. Crayton has been in the league 3 years. He is _still_ improving. And he has the best hands on the team. You think he will get cut because he's 28? Moron. How long did Ricky Proehl play in the league as a slow white guy?

I think it's possible, but not necessarily likely. I guess I should have said that it wouldn't surprise me. I just think he has age and injuries working against him right now, so he really needs to show something this year.

He's not old and we'll see how he does with injuries this year. I wouldn't say he's injury prone just yet.

After reading your post I'm not sure why YOU called ME a moron. But hey, it's whatever makes you feel good about yourself, I guess.

I don't think that the 3 rookies are all better than Copper at this time. I think that the Coaches know that Copper is what he is, and possibly these three guys have more potential than Copper.

I think Crayton can solidify himself as a #3 WR with a strong healthy season. But if he does not, and they draft a couple of more guys, his job could be in jeopardy.

It's quite obvious that 2 of the rookies are better than Copper. Austin still has me scratching my head -- though I haven't seen him enough to pass judgment one way or other.

Actually they might not be better, they could be the same. When it comes to that, the rookies are cheaper, so keep the rookies.

Where did that come from? I thought we were having a nice friendly discussion.

I havn't seen any of the preseason games, that's why i was being so general with my statement. But I would not be surprised if they were better than Copper.

I would also not be surprised if Copper is still in the league long after they have all found jobs in the real world.

They are SIGNIFICANTLY better than Copper. All he had going for him was his S/T play. It wasn't a close call at all.

edit: Why am I even having this conversation with someone who admittedly hasn't seen any of the games?

 

[jobberone]

Are you serious or just talking out of your you know what?

I understood him and thought it made a lot of sense. If Crayton falls now he likely will fall under the Cowboys radar. I can see where Crayton would not be a sensible player for the roster even this year if both Rector and Hurd show up the next few weeks and Crayton stays hurt and/or doesn't play as well as they do. Of course Glenn and TO have to stay healthy as well. I'm not be prophetic only saying it could happen.

Crayton needs to get on the field and produce.

I'll take your word for it dude. It's not that crucial. All I was saying in the 1st place is that at one time, many had hopes that Copper and Crayton could turn into starting caliber players.

Now I am seeing the same comments about the 3 rookies.

I think the original logic is perfectly sound too. I fell in love with Crayton (in a manly, football kind of way) early on but facts are facts......he's been given some opportunities, showed some flashes, but hasn't clearly established himself. I hope all the injuries are behind him and next year we're talking about him taking the #2 spot but he hasn't proven he's ready yet. The biggest thing he's got going for him is he's probably still learning the position (he's a converted WR). We may not have seen the best of him yet.
