The guy is one of the few unselfish (in the good way) star wide receivers in the game (think Larry Fitz).

Typical media hype.
This is a 2...Overblown risks. Typical media hype.<br /><br />This is a 20 year old rookie. Does anyone really think he can walk into a room of veteran stars like Romo, Ware, Witten, etc. and do anything of consequence? Do you think Miles Austin and Mike Jenkins are looking up to Dez Bryant for influence? This rookie is going to single handedly turn the locker room? Come on.<br /><br />Dez is a knucklehead but he's not a problem like Owens, Tank, PacMan were PROBLEMS. Dez is a knucklehead like Maty B. Marty B is a knucklehead, we shake our heads at him, but do you try to get Bennet off the team? Do you worry about the influence Marty B has on the team?<br /><br />Bennett is going to be a 3rd year veteran this year and is known to do the silly things he does. Are you worried about him, Bob? Are you worried Marty B needs to be out of this locker room?<br /><br />Why are you frightened of this rookie but, yet, invite a similar knucklehead on your radio show weekly and laugh him off as just a silly guy?<br /><br />The supposed "risks" are so overblown my the national media (and parroted by 1310 The Ticket without scrutiny).<br /><br />Dez Bryant is an amazing capitalization of opportunity by the Cowboys.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886978833709220903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-6160959918368876262010-04-23T14:47:37.188-05:002010-04-23T14:47:37.188-05:00I think this pick does several things -

(and you can check it out online) Is there anyone other than Terrel Owens that you'd be LESS interested in having as a player's mentor than those clowns?Doctorjortshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708231582042218526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-4187188026440508712010-04-23T12:57:37.683-05:002010-04-23T12:57:37.683-05:00I'm really hoping Jerry moves Roy now pre-2010...I'm really hoping Jerry moves Roy now pre-2010. I would love to get rid of him. Do you think Roy is going to get more pleasant when Dez is stealing PT? I am hoping Jerry moves him for basically trash as a 'package' deal that let's him save face and doesn't look like he's just dumping Roy. I can't imagine any team wanting Roy unless he's cut entirely but who knows.Jay Callicotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894239815256855794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-4667903458607485402010-04-23T12:09:14.423-05:002010-04-23T12:09:14.423-05:00I don't consider Bryant a risk pick, just beca...I don't consider Bryant a risk pick, just because he was a top 10 talent by most teams given the dreaded "dropping in the draft" status. He has Irvin-like intangibles (fighting for the ball, excellent route-runner), but does he have his heart? We'll see!<br /><br />I would love it if Jerry would trade up with the Vikings in the 2nd round to get Mays at Safety. If not, the Bucs will take him. WOuld it take our 2nd and both #4's or just one? If only one, we could get a decent tackle with the other 4th. <br /><br />Either way, this team will have a surplus of WRs. Could the Rams be interested in R. Williams and a few picks we give them? It seems that need pure number of picks I would think to address more roster spots. How great would it be to get Mays and get rid of Williams all in one move? Ogletree deserves more snaps and Crayton has good hands as a 3rd down guy. Jerry's gotta do something with Roy now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09636134857605529779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-81069286889521628782010-04-23T11:30:07.983-05:002010-04-23T11:30:07.983-05:00You've got to love sports!!!

By that point I thought that he had moved down enough and the Cowboys still hadn't made a move to get him, Pats were getting him for sure... TRADE showed up on the screen, you KNEW it was Jerry!<br />After the pick I started thinking what did we give up and what are the downsides: moved from the late 3rd into the mid 4th, that's it. If this works out (God I hope it works out. *fingers crossed*) it will be one of the biggest/best moves the Cowboys have made in the Draft.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16178376175881392837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-20936368215477075632010-04-23T09:26:30.943-05:002010-04-23T09:26:30.943-05:00This was a pick to replace Williams...in 2011.
I...This was a pick to replace Williams...in 2011. <br /><br />I think that it will take Dez time to adjust to the system and the league, and by giving him a redshirt year to be humbled, and learn, the Cowboys made a pick at the right time. <br /><br />There's also a possibility (albeit small) that Roy becomes what they thought he was. In that case, perhaps they feel like they can let Austin go in 2011. <br /><br />This was a chess move of a draft pick - thinking 2 steps ahead. Especially when Jerry's reached in the past, I'm glad that he decided instead to just grab the guy they had at the top of the chart, which was obviously Dez. <br /><br />Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but Jerry didn't get the money to buy the Cowboys by going safe, and there's nothing that suggests he'd go safe here. <br /><br />I also don't think it's too unlike the '08 draft, or the '07 draft, where they had "glaring needs" and took a guy at a position that had experience (Spencer/Ellis, Felix/Barber). <br /><br />It creates competition and hopefully pushes Roy. At the end of the day, though, you can't have too much talent, and they grabbed a big slice o' talent deep in the first.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04611444354345495725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-48071042135916555832010-04-23T08:58:47.363-05:002010-04-23T08:58:47.363-05:00meh...meh...mrichard04https://www.blogger.com/profile/07559750194510511298noreply@blogger.com
