Are we fine with Bryant, Williams, Beasley and Street?

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.

He ran the forty in borrowed shoes and didn't prep for it.

Do you really believe Jeff Heath 4.4x is faster on the field than Dez 4.52?
 
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

We need to push Williams way down(#4) or off the roster.

For the application we need him for, he's one of 2 guys in the entire league, maybe 3 if you count Fitz, that can go up and catch those "Zipcode" passes thrown by Romo. Anyone else and it gets picked off very very often or probably not even attempted anymore. In fact now our guy waits for receivers to get completely open to avoid picks and often times he gets sacked while waiting 7+ seconds. No sir, Dez is the jump ball master (Along with Megatron of course.) Beckham Jr makes spectacular circus catches as well but all the other guys on your list are not quite as good for what we need...
