Dez Bryant ran an unconfirmed 4.57 at Tuesday's private workout. if he did, he Falls!

Bryant is a big, strong ourside WR who can and does go up and take the ball away from people. Shipley is a small guy who has to have speed to succeed in the slot where he'll be used.

That should be obvious...

Not to mention that Bryant didn't seem to be in great shape. He also worked out outdoors on a high school field. Contrast that with Shipley who surely was well prepared and running on what is usually a fast track. Players running at these big football factories where Pro Days are a huge production usually post great times.

How many small, slow WRs succeed in this league anyway?

geez.

you have to be more quick than fast in the slot and run crisp clean routes and quick cuts, all of which shipley has and does well.

I'm not saying he can't be a serviceable type player, a Crayton type, but that's hardly the kind of player to get too excited about IMO.

I think we'll hear this:

"and with the 8th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft...The Oakland Raiders select...Dez Bryant, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma State University."

Doubtful, his 40 time isn't fast enough for Al Davis's liking
