I have thinking about the least desirable direction that I believe the Cowboys have a realistic chance of going in the draft which would be a worst case scenario for the team. I have come to the conclusion that taking a receiver in the first round is probably the least desirable outcome.
Make no mistake about it. We need a receiver and Dez needs to go. TWill is unreliable, Butler is gone. But the team should not panic and try to force a square peg into a round hole by grabbing a receiver in the first round.
None of the receivers appear to be first round talents and there is usually talent to be found later on in the draft at receiver. I wouldn't be opposed to drafting a couple somewhere in this draft class. But we don't "need" to be pressured to draft a guy high to replace Dez even if we cut Dez.
A later round guy 2-5 could be just as effective as Dez for a fraction of the cost. It doesn't take a 1st round choice to replace the slug we call Dez.
