Its funny how people put Dez up as a proven vet . He could be a bust I for 1 as a eagles fan want him on the field make that rookie beat you. Theres a reason he fell in the draft hes a troubled kid and has very lazy on the field work ethects . He does work hard in the weight room but that wont help you get in sink with your qb .

In a redraft I see no reason to be overly excited about this guy. If he is as talanted as everyone says, this will be his worst season. I will never draft a rookie as my #1 or #2 WR so I figure he will be gone long before I am ready to draft him.

In redraft, his competition amongst his own team is too deep this year, much less being a rookie. With Austin coming out this year and Witten expected to get his, there isn't enough high side to go after Bryant as a 1 or 2. Someone will select him too high and if it pays off could well land that person in the championship, weather by injury or just plain luck. As an educated redrafter though, the gamble really isn't worth it as there figures to be a LOT of value still on the board when the gambler selects him.In dynasty/keeper, we'll see if he's worth the one overall. Weather he's 1st or whatever, he does to be the 1st overall WR selected with the potential being so high.

That is what most thought about of Moss in 1998. Too many hands in the bread basket with Cris Carter (all he does is catch touchdowns) and Jake Reed there. Moss seemed to do ok his rookie year 1300 yards and 17 TD's not too shabby.

Does he remind you of anyone ? Maybe someone that fell to the 2nd WR off the board in 1998 ?I'm not saying... I'm just saying

Um... Anquan Boldin and Marques Colston did and thats off the top of my head. Not sure where you are getting your info but you may want to post a link to support that statement.

And don't forget Johnson had only 4TDs. Personally I think he will top all 3 of those catagories but the 4 TDs is a very easy number he will obliterate.

Boldin/Colston weren't 1st round WRs. Please re-read and try again.

I saw that completely meaningless qualifier thrown in and knew you or someone would come back with that/ It's completely meaningless unless you are asserting that only receivers drafted in the first count as rookie receivers. Ridiculous

Really? 5 year olds roll their eyes. Whether you find being a 1st round pick completely meaningless or not, it was still what was posted. I apologize that you can't follow directions. (BTW, I didn't make the post you are whining about)If you had an issue with narrowing it to 1st round picks, make that statement. You just throwing out Boldin/Colston as "off the top of my head" additions without adding your disagreement with the criteria of the poster makes it painfully obvious that reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. Nice back pedaling though.

No offense but Bryant will put up better numbers than Andre Johnson did in his rookie year.

Over the last 30 years, Andre Johnson and only 4 other 1st round WR selections have put up 66/975 or better in their rookie seasons:Randy MossMichael ClaytonTerry GlennJoey GallowayI hope he does, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Why does it matter if it is a first round WR or not? Oh, wait, we can't argue against Dez if it's not. Noted.

I realized that, but he decided to fight your battle for you. It was very sweet. So, he gets the repercussions chief.

I wish to say very harsh things to you that would get me a vacation for awhile but I like this board so I'll leave it as this: Don't ever call me chief, guy.

I didn't say IT MATTERED. But that was the criteria that was posted by cobalt. Wow, is it that hard of a concept to grasp. Good Lord.And I'm not arguing against Dez at all. I'm one of his biggest supporters. HTH TIA.

That would be a shame, buddy.

In a redraft I see no reason to be overly excited about this guy. If he is as talanted as everyone says, this will be his worst season. I will never draft a rookie as my #1 or #2 WR so I figure he will be gone long before I am ready to draft him.

In redraft, his competition amongst his own team is too deep this year, much less being a rookie. With Austin coming out this year and Witten expected to get his, there isn't enough high side to go after Bryant as a 1 or 2. Someone will select him too high and if it pays off could well land that person in the championship, weather by injury or just plain luck. As an educated redrafter though, the gamble really isn't worth it as there figures to be a LOT of value still on the board when the gambler selects him.In dynasty/keeper, we'll see if he's worth the one overall. Weather he's 1st or whatever, he does to be the 1st overall WR selected with the potential being so high.

That is what most thought about of Moss in 1998. Too many hands in the bread basket with Cris Carter (all he does is catch touchdowns) and Jake Reed there. Moss seemed to do ok his rookie year 1300 yards and 17 TD's not too shabby.

Moss is the exception, not the norm. I do not need to gamble in a redraft to win it, in a redraft I will never draft a rookie WR as a WR #1 or #2. In a dynasty I would be comfortable talking this guy #1 if I had a need at WR,

Okay, so I go to Footballguys news and the first two stories that hit me as I look down the list are Dez Bryant sent home one day (sick) and hip pointer the next. Now maybe this is a little hopeful thinking from a longtime Giant fan but, not the best start to a pro career. Right? I mean, you have to be ready for the riggers of a sixteen game season & during OTA's your tummy hurts & you get an injury where the treatment is rest?

Was Bryant injury prone in college? I'd be more concerned, if I was a Cowboy fan, if you saw these kind of little injuries consistently in college. Otherwise it probably is nothing to worry about.

Touche'. If it were a lock that he was going to have a Moss-type rookie season he'd be worth taking as the 1st WR off the board in redraft. If you believe this and take this gamble, more power to you, especially if it pays off.

 

[HenryMuto]

No one said to take Bryant as a WR 1 in a redraft. He should be out there in the 7th-9th rounds in redaft leagues which puts him in WR 3-4 territory.
