I think it's subtraction because of no addition. Hurns isn't a No. 1 receiver. He'll fare no better than Dez has against top corners while Williams will continue to only be able to draw single coverage and teams will continue to bracket Beasley and Witten.
Unless we're spending an early pick on what's considered a weak receiver class, our best bet for success in the passing game is Bryant and Hurns at the No. 1 and 2 receivers.
I'm torn on the Dez question, because I keep going back to how well Dak played spraying the ball around when Dez was out in 2016. Dez is clearly our most talented receiver, and I don't think he's done. But there is something to be said for freeing up the offense and not relying on him so much when his productivity was down so much from his 2014 levels.
