Dont have to be. Draft is loaded at WR and they will get another one, probably a strong STer.

No thanks on Crabtree.

I think they like Street better than some realize.

Also, this is another great draft class for WRs if they feel the need to add one.

If one of the top WR drop to 27 in the draft, I may be all over them. Give them a year to groom and then let Dez walk next year. Williams is an UFA in 2017. Maybe Street can step up.

I would like more speed at the position,hopefully we can draft one who can also return punts.

As a rival... I think you have the weapons needed to catch the ball.
Continue to build the lines and the secondary.
I agree. ..too many people here are overlooking our secondary. ..Carr may be a cap casualty. ..Claiborne is coming off a major knee injury. ..so that leaves us Patmon and White

I am not interested in Crabtree.

If we are going to bring in another WR (FA or Draft)...I want one that will spend time in the punt/kickoff return game.

Or one that does not make business decisions when asked to run block.

Folks need to understand this. Dez is the sort of talent you don't come across in every draft. You don't just find a guy who teams have to devote so much time and effort to account for. We aren't finding a viable replacement.

If we draft a wide out, it would be to push Williams down the depth chart

Folks don't understand the game of football much less how talented Dez is above everyone else not named Megatron...

Agreed...should not just say the return game. Harris will be missed for other areas as well...WR run blocking and his other roles on Special teams.

I think it's okay to be fine with what we have but I'd be more okay with Crabby on the roster.

I think he's the same type of player as Dez and Street. I would pass.

I'm all for bringing in a TY Hilton type in the second or third round. First rounder should be a big ugly, hopefully a DT. The way we've addressed the personnel the last few years it looks like we'll go for value as opposed to need in the upcoming draft.

I just don't see Dez as this one of a kind, elite talent. His measurables are very average for top end receivers. His route running is still lacking. Better than the three routes he could only run a couple years ago, but still lacking.

He is still going to want big time money and big time guarantee next year. I say let someone else pay that. Get a guy like Strong this year, groom him and let him be a starter next year for 1.5mill a year vs 13-15mill like Dez wants.

Define talented? He does not have elite measurables. He's big and strong, but not close to a polished route runner. His blocking has been questioned at times. He disappears from games at times. He has a bad back.

Here is a list of top 10 WR, receiving yards:
1 Antonio Brown
2 Demaryius Thomas
3 Julio Jones
4 Jordy Nelson
5 Emmanuel Sanders
6 T.Y. Hilton
7 Golden Tate
8 Dez Bryant
9 Jeremy Maclin
10 Odell Beckham Jr.

This doesn't even account for some of the up and coming guys. How is Dez so far and above talent wise than these guys?

Dez is not irreplaceable.
