Reasons why we wont draft a WR with 2 first round picks.....

[I LOVE ME SOME ME!]

We already have TO and Crayton. I know Crayton is not a great number 2 but he did a decent job. Then we have Miles Austin who showed he has good speed on deep routes he has progressed every year he has been here. Sam Hurd is decent, then you have the enigma in Terry Glenn whether hes healthy or not. Bottom line, i dont see a pressing need to draft a reciever with the first 2 picks but i would like to get one with a later draft pick.


If you use a pro and con situation with cornerback and running back you will find more reasons to draft those two positions with the first 2 picks than reciever. Im pretty sure Jerry learned something about drafting while Parcells was around so im quite sure reciever wont be one of the first two picks selected.

If someone else uses Miles Austin as a reason why we don't need a WR, I'm going to vomit.

Did you even read the list of receivers you just wrote and the questions about them?

If we'd rather go into free agency next year and pay 45 million for another team's former #3 receiver, by all means, be my guest.

Me? I'd rather see us groom a true #1 from our own roster for once.

If you package all of our WRs, I think you get a pretty average-to-good "group". There are 3-4 guys that could be #4 receivers on almost any team. I just don't think we have what we want at #2...and that is a key position. You really need 3 solid starters in this NFL. Crayton would be fine as a #3. IF somehow Glenn could be healthy, we would be okay for another year, but he and TO are getting older, so it's time to draft a ringer. IMO

Oh yeah, I think it was Ireland who knew how to draft and made a difference.

I was thinking something along the lines of there not really being one worth the pick but whatever.

Using those huge question marks are reasons why dallas won't draft a WR doesn't quite make sense to me. None of those WRs other then TO are dependable enough to hold off on drafting one in the 1st round.

I think 2nd round would be a great spot to get a WR. Anyone have any names that might last until dallas' 2nd rounder (what is it? 59th?)

I recommend everybody who doesn't think we need another WR take a good hard look at the last 4 or 5 games of last season. Especially the NYG game.

 

[I LOVE ME SOME ME!]

There are more good recievers in this draft than good running backs or cornerbacks. Not to mention our depth and running back and corner is alot worse than our depth at reciever.

^I never said we didn't need another reciever. I said we should draft one in the 3rd or 4th round or something like that.

There's plenty of depth at running back in the draft.

I think that 22nd pick goes to CB anyway.

Heres Miles Austin using cliff notes

^Can you name me the depth of running backs in this draft? Because i think alot of backs will be gone by the time our FIRST pick comes up.

Crayton is not a No. 2 receiver. He played well at times last year, and at other times wasn't seen. Your No. 2 can't disappear ... or drop a pass in the endzone in the playoffs. The other guys are career backups. Rarely does a WR that far down on the depth chart rise to a No. 2 and be successful. I'm not saying it can't or hasn't happened, I'm just saying it's extremely difficult.

Also, I think Glenn is cut before TC.

There are several WR in this year's draft that could come in and be the No. 2 WR. Jackson from Cal, Kelly from OKla., Sweed from Texas, Thomas from Mich. St., Hardy from Ind., and several others who could step in and do it. We saw what happened when TO went down. Even when Glenn was back, his impact was minimal.

IMHO, selecting a WR with one of the two first round picks is needed, as well as a corner. A RB can be had in the 2nd.

Crayton is an above average #3, but a below average #2. He should have been able to do much more with teams focusing on Owens and Witten and Barber coming out of the backfield.

^I saw the team that won the super bowl win with a pretty average number 2 wr and a bunch of spare parts. But i do know they had a brusing running back and another running back that was fast as crap. "COUGH" CHRIS JOHNSON *COUGH*

I see im not going to win this argument. I just think wide reciever is more replaceable than running back.

A lot of backs? Who do you think will be gone.

Speaking of the Giants; Burress, Toomer, Smith and Moss were each drafted in round 2 or above. Their bruising running backs? No higher than 4th. Sure shows which group is easily replaceable.

Actually, you said in the 2 first rounds.

Having said that, I don't have a problem taking a WR in the 2nd round. I don't really want one in the 1st but in the 2nd, I'm real good with that.


We need to draft a young WR and it doesn't need to be in the 4th or 5th IMO. This draft is not that deep at WR IMO. RB could probably wait. That's the position we don't need to draft in the 1st round IMO. That position is deep. Talent will be there in the 4th rd IMO.

 

[I LOVE ME SOME ME!]

A lot of backs? Who do you think will be gone.

I will put it like this. Lets say we draft a cb/wr with our first 2 picks. Are you comfortable waiting until the second round to draft a running back if there are even any good ones left? And i doubt we take 3 skill position players with the first 3 picks anyway so more than likely we would have to wait until round 3 for a running back. I see what having 2 good running backs can do for a sputtering offense. Imagine if we had a jones drew/taylor impact with a quarterback that is actually good!

Reasons why we wont draft a WR with 2 first round picks..... We already have TO and Crayton. I know Crayton is not a great number 2 but he did a decent job.

You mean except in January when it really counted?

Wait a minute, you started this thread about not picking a WR in the 1st round and you are going under the assumption that Dallas may take a WR just to make your view of needing a RB hold some sort of weight?

You said a lot of backs would be gone by dallas FIRST pick. Im wondering who you think will be gone.

 

[I LOVE ME SOME ME!]

mcfadden/mendenhall/stewart. All gone before dallas first pick.
