Dallas has accumulated too many WRs that are lesser clone of each other and really do not compliment the players on the roster fully.

This offense needs true speed and right now just about every team has WRs that runS 4.4 NFL WRs. Dallas should acquire someone like J.J Nelson 4.2 forty time that can blow the top off defense consistently.




Another option is to trade Gallup who really is a #3 with CD in the building and the front office shouldn’t overpay for a consistent ball dropping #3 receiver.

None of the top 3 WR's are actually slow though

They are average when you compare them to other top WRs in the league who run fast as them if not faster.

This is the only time since the draft that I've seen the word AVERAGE and our wide receiver group used in the same sentence this off season. I would love it if we had a legit 4.2 guy on the team. That said, route running is FAR more important that having a top gear.

No offense, but straight line, 40 yard speed is somewhat secondary to precision routes, separation and catch radius.

In the grand scheme of things, what is the difference (in terms of distance travelled over a 15 yard route) between a 4.3 and a 4.5 guy? Not much.

Is the the same guy who caught 4 passes last year and hasn't had more than a 10 yards per catch season since 2017? Gallup is far and away more consistent.

Jerry rice ran a 4.6 40.... Austin runs a 4.3 40. Michael Irvin ran a 4.6 40. Williams ran a 4.4 40.....which would you take? tell me about how they run routes, how they get off the line, can they catch, they all run in the 4.4's like you said which is more than enough for deep balls. you don't need a 4.3 guy and those guys are rare and rarely are they good. don't forget we still have Smith and Austin on the team, both speed guys. outside of JJ Nelson how many other 4.2 guys are out there? you said every team has 4.4 guys...that's what's needed...but there is only one or 2 4.2 guy....plus it looks like the guy is already going down hill. at 161.....and 5/11"....I am not surprised

Don't you need an accurate passer that can throw the ball deep down the field to take advantage of the speed first???
