I'd probably slot him in at fourth after Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson and AJ Green. I think Dez Bryant is a bonafide top 5 and competes with Julio Jones (when he's healthy) for who falls into #4 and who falls into #5.

Dez is up there, yet to be determined. I would like him to settle his grievances like a man and limit his ***** sessions to 10 seconds on the sidelines

Green, Bryant and Jones are in that next group behind Megatron. Not sure if either WR has separated himself from the other 2. Andre Johnson was an excellent WR but Is behind those 4 with Daymarius Thomas.

I like him better than everyone outside Calvin Johnson.

typically I see him ranked side by side with
D Thomas
J Jones
AJ Green

I don't know if it was our fan base, who took over the polls on NFLNetwork, but they asked the question, who is second best WR...Dez killed everyone by a landslide a few days ago.

Honestly not sure if I would put anyone above him at number 2, behind Calvin. Something could be said different if Larry had a better QB, but it's Dez for me right now.

Julio Jones is amazing, but when I watch him, he does not have the fluid body control Dez has, but he can still go up and get it. AJ Green is a beast as well...I think I like him next to Dez, or just a bit behind him.

Brandon and Larry are the only guy I would have a problem thinking for vs Dez

I don't know if I'd pull A.Johnson down just yet. His QB play has been awful yet he is still getting open and destroying secondaries. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

D.Thomas I'd likely slot in at #6. B.Marshall and L.Fitzgerald follow.

There is no reason to trust a fan based poll.

We don't know.

On that note- absolutely no less than top 7.

In my admittedly uneducated opinion.

There's only one WR he's undoubtedly not better then, and that's Calvin Johnson. Other then CJ, you can make a case that Dez is the best WR in the NFL. But the same can be said for other WRs as well, there's just so many great WRs currently in the NFL.

Dez is no worse then a top 6 WR in the NFL, but I'd personally put him as the 4th best, behind CJ/AJ/JJ.

Where DEZ ranks depends if we throw him the dam ball !!!!!

AJ

VJax

Cruz

In that order IMO

I put Dez around 4 behind CJ, AJ, Julio.

Nobody is better than Dez in the red zone and nobody is better than Dez with his hands on the ball.

Where he needs to work on his game is getting open with an emphasis of making himself more of a target as he comes off the line of scrimmage. When it it 3 and short and you need a WR to go just go 2-3 yards down the field, turn-around, and and make a catch, he just isn't precise enough yet to separate from the DB.

He'll get there. He easily has the potential to go to #2.

Dez routinely makes 3rd and short catches.

I think he's pretty overrated. Disappears in games.

Interesting- why, you think?

Because he can't get open?
No. 9 not throwing him the ball?
Playcalling?

If a combination- what percentage of what?

Probably an even mixture of all 3

Yeah- I think my untrained eye agrees with you.

I think he's a tremendous WR, and he has no ceiling...

But more than he holds him back.
