Roy Williams is a good #1, a potentially very good #1

Crayton is a solid #2

Miles Austin looks dangerous, and is catching everything

Sam Hurd has looked great all offseason once again

Kevin Ogeltree would make a solid, developmental #5 receiver, and is looking pretty good this offseason
 
I have 3 more reasons why I am not worried about our receivers

Jason Witten = Super Stud

MartyB = Stud

PapaJones28 = Stud
 
I'm not worried about 1 and 2 but behind that we just don't know, Austin looks promising but can he stay healthy? same with Hurd

Stanback is as good as gone at this point
 
There's plenty to worry about.

But at the same time, there's plenty to be excited about. We have two young WRs that we've spent a few years developing. Both seem to be playing better than ever.

I'm particularly excited about Austin. I think he can really be a player for us. He HAS to stay healthy. If he does, then I think he'll be that big play threat that we've been missing since Terry Glen.
 
Austin will have the number two spot in the not so distant future. He catches everything and gets open quite a bit.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves. I like Miles as much as the next guy but his hands are definitely one of the things that need some improving. Then again, he hasn't had many recent drops that I can think of but that is also because he hasn't had any recent anything but injured time.

Sure sounds like the kid is having a great start to camp...with that said, PC thrives in the slot..Looks like a no brainer to me
 
The team needs Austin to be the #2, at the very least he should get to share it with Crayton. Austin had problems catching early in his career, he put those concerns to bed last year. It was just thinking too much, a problem most young wrs seem to have. As far as Crayton goes, his best position is in the slot anyway.

Roy Williams is a good #1, a potentially very good #1 He has been at various times, just not in Dallas yet. Yesterday's reports were nice to hear.

Crayton is a solid #2 Solid, but not spectacular. A solid journeyman who doesn't scare opposing defenses.

Miles Austin looks dangerous, and is catching everything Excited about him, but worried about injury.

Sam Hurd has looked great all offseason once again I haven't seen those reports. But to me he brings the same qualities that Crayton does.

Kevin Ogeltree would make a solid, developmental #5 receiver, and is looking pretty good this offseason I hope so, but - other than Austin - I don't see a whole lot of speed or 'shake' with this bunch

Personally, I am worried about this group.

Not as much as the offensive line depth - or lack thereof - anyway, but worried nonetheless.

Im talking about this training camp. He was making catches all over the place this morning - deep, short, intermediate, in traffic, whatever. He looks far and away our best receiver and that's no slight to Roy. Once he solidifies the no. 2 spot he will put up big numbers.

1st of all, you can't be called a journeyman player re: Crayton, when you've only played for 1 team your career

and there may not be much wiggle with this group, but Austin and Ogletree are pretty, damn fast

OK, let's call him a solid veteran then, OK?

Honestly don't know much about Ogletree's speed, is he that fast?

If he played every snap as a no 2 I could see him approaching 1000 yards no joke. Tony very clearly likes him as a target.

I think around 750-800 yards

I can agree with that



he ran a 4.35 at the Combine

Nice.

I'd still like a trade for Roscoe Parrish though.....

he would make a nice 5th receiver/punt returner
