Because Crayton is a free agent and Glenn and Owens a getting up there in age, and behind them there isn't any depth if one of them happens to get injured.

owens and glenn are fine age wise...33 years old is not that bad. we might need a top notch WR in 2 or 3 years but if we use a 1st - 3rd pick on one this year i will be very pissed...

They are both going on to their 12th years, and the like almost all receivers are going to decline fast.

well they didn't show any signs of declining this year, and given the fact that owens will have surgery on his hand he shouldn't have nearly as many drops...

WR might be a concern for the 2008 draft but not this one.

34 is bad and 35 is worse. Drafting WR's is usually a long term thing as they usually dont put up #'s their first couple of seasons. If you tell me you wouldnt love to see Ginn in Dallas. He is an outstanding PR (which we NEED) and he is a threat every time he gets his hands on the ball. He wont be a huge factor on the offence as a rookie, but he wont need to be, but when we need someone to replace Owens and/or Glenn, he will be their ready to produce, as opposed to some rookie who wont.

Its a priority for us. Is it our top Mabey, mabey not. I have heard good things about Miles Austin as a WR, but a good young WR is a priority. Ill be pissed if they dont take on the first day

your going to tell me that you would rather see us take a WR than OL or a FS?...i would even put LB and DL before WR...Jerry is good at getting free agents for that position...and as for PR I would really like to see them use Newman there more often.

any rookie WR that comes to this team would be an after thought next season...when owens or Glenn is gone I am sure Jerry will grab a FA like he has for the past 5 years in Galloway, Keyshawn, Owens, and Glenn...an OL or FS would be an imediant impact...and the fact that the only DL we have is Ware I would love to see help there.

If WR is a priority for the Cowboys then it is a priority for every team in the NFL with the exception of maybe 2 teams...

But the right type of WR fits two needs, a young WR and a PR. I hate seeing Newman as a PR 1; because of the injury possibility. The only time the Colts really effecivly moved the ball against us was the first couple of seiries after he took that monster shot. 2; He sucks at it anyways. Take away the TD and I really dont remeber seeing any really good return.

Plus why would you want to have to go out and get a FA WR (who will be more expensive)when you can have a 2nd or 3rd year former 1st,2nd or 3rd, round pick that is ready and knows the ofence, and you have seen what he can do in your system.

Newman is a great punt returner...

NFL.com - NFL Stats

ranked #10 in the NFL with an average of 10.1 yds per carry

he was also one of the greatest college punt returns in history...broke all of the Kansas records, and when we drafted him Parcells said that the reason we drafted a CB so early in the draft was because of his PR skills...

also I am not sure what you mean by getting a 2nd a 3rd year WR?...are you saying that we shouldn't draft a WR?...if so then i think we are on the same page.

On top of that how many of those receivers have been good in Dallas, there are very few receivers that are really good that are free agents, Owens is the exception because he was cut because he has major issues.

Because like he said earlier and that it is pretty common knowledge that receivers don't produce right out of college they usually take about a year to develope.
