Boosh!
Our receiver depth is really overrated. Crayton is a quality, if not superb, 3rd receiver, but he's not a good compliment to T.O. because he's not a threat down the field. He's more adept in the slot, settling down in the zone for 10-15 yard routes. We have no speed opposite T.O., which is one reason T.O. has been so bottled up this year. The other, being that he has been dominated off the line of scrimmage which brings me to my point of him only having a few years left. He was completely shut down by Rod Hood Sunday... yes former Eagles' #4 CB Rod Hood. Miles Austin... well... he has some potential, but I don't see him developing into anything more than a 3 or 4. He's just nothing special. A talent such as Williams (who made the pro bowl 2 years ago even though he has been stuck with Kitna and the sorry Detroit Lions. Every time I've seen him, he has been nothing short of spectacular.) can take coverage off all the other weapons we have. I might even go so far as to say that Williams might be better than Owens at this point in their careers... don't laugh until you see Williams with a good team and QB.
T.O's response has already been positive, and it will continue to be if Dallas wins. T.O. hasn't been upset with his touches when we've won. T.O. isn't the volatile personality he once was.
I don't think Romo will play, either, I'm just not throwing out the possibility that he could.
It's funny you should say that about Favre, as he's the one who called Romo and told him that he should do all he can to play, if he can still be effective. Seeing as Favre is Romo's childhood hero, I would not at all be surprised to see Romo give it a try. I was watching NFL live earlier today, and they were saying that it's a matter of where the break occurred. If it was at the top of the finger, he might be able to play.
As for the picks...
As I said, with a 1st rounder they would draft a WR this year anyways... a WR who you hope develops into a talent as good as Roy Williams... so why not trade it for Roy Williams himself?
We have multiple 3rd rounders, and our 3rd round pick this year was OT James Marten... yay... this team is built to win now... drafting players who might play in the future (which is generally what happens in the 3rd round) is not what we're looking to do.
6th rounders aren't that big of a deal at all.
People value draft picks too high. Though, they are a big deal, and the optimal way to build a team, if you can pick up a 27 year old with the potential to be a dominant top 10 or top 5 WR, it's worth 100% of a 1st rounder.
We also, just got a 5th round pick that we didn't expect for dick bag Pac-Man, which made us a little more loose with our picks.
It was a costly move, but this can completely rejuvenate a team that was ready to give up. This gives the team hope. We just have to hold on for 3 games.
et Detective over the weekend.
Gotta win some playoff games before that happens.
