IDK, I would rather take ILB like Spikes or McClain than a WR like Dez Bryant. I feel that a linebacker could come in and have more of an immediate impact than a rookie WR.
i don't know about you but i plan on making the playoffs in 2010 and maybe winning a playoff game so i think that likely we'll be picking in the 20's next year...there are highly rated wrs in next years class but who's to say any of those guys are on the board when we pick???
dez bryant is far and away the best wr in this class...look at the tape...it's not close and he fills a huge position of need with the bpa...
in fact as long as we go bpa at position of need we'll be fine and there are plenty of candidates...
in order and in stone lol...
eric berry fs
dez bryant wr
rolando mcclain ilb
cj spiller rb
jermaine gresham te
jerry hughes wolb
i only have the weakside olb hughes that late cause there are conflicting opinions amongst us as to what cameron wake is long term...some see him as a long term situational pass rusher only with his hands in the dirt others think he's the longterm weakside backer...
dan williams i love as a nose but right now he doesn't warrant top 15 consideration for me...
and i don't for the life of me see any potential strongside backer warranting a top 15 or even 20 pick...
cj spiller is a rare talent and playmaker
i hear that also but taking need over bpa available at a position of need is imo a mistake...
for me dez bryant is a top 10 player in this draft...period... heck he may be top 5 for me
so on my board dez bryant comes over any other player on defense who i don't have above bryant regardless of how the d has looked or the needs on d...
the only guy i have at a position of need on defense rated higher than dez bryant is eric berry
so i think it's a mistake to take a guy rated lower at a position of need just because the defense needs upgrade...so does wr so does rb...so does te etc
take the bpa at position of need...
now i can see the argument of passing on spiller cause there's other rbs a little later we can get who can fill that void
well i'm all ears...whaqt defensive talent you have a higher grade than dez bryant on
suh and berry obviously...who else at positions of need???
Definitely Gerald McCoy, but after that I think that's all the defensive talent I personally feel is better than Bryant.
I think everybody here would agree that if Bryant or McClain was on the board, we should and are going to grab them in a heartbeat. If we don't, hell will come.
