Yes, there is, but drafting a WR in round 2 would be counter productive. They'd be bringing in ANOTHER young guy, who would need time to develop and more than likely won't see much playing time IF any. A 2nd round pick would be a bit too high of a price to pay for right now. The Cowboys already have THREE of those types of receivers ( Miles, Hurd, Stanback ), not to mention that their #1 receiver is 28 years old, and the second receiver is 30 years old but barely 5 full years in the league. That's a very young receivers core as it is.
Bringing in Holt, at a reasonable price, would provide estability and experience. No receiver on the Cowboys roster right has been in critical game situations that Hols has been, much less has caught the passes that Holt has caught in those situations. Down the stretch, and especially in December, that becomes very important.
Don't get me wrong, I want the Cowboys to draft a receiver in this draft now that T.O. is gone, but not within their first 3 picks. I'm thinking middle 4th or 5th round in the range of Patrick Turner from USC, or Greg Carr from FSU, or even Aaron Kelley from Clemson. Somebody who doesn't have to come in this year at all, but has enough potential to develop long term.
