    Dez Bryant

    His workout today was good, but he didn't hit it out of the park. He ran 4.52x2 and 4.68 in the 40. He most likely will be looking the bills right in the face at number 9.

    Should we draft him? Let's say Spiller and Bryant are on the board still along with Bulaga/Williams, who would you take?

    who cares what he ran. Crabtree ran around the same time. The legendary Jerry Rice ran a slow 40.

    Bottom line the boy is a big physical Wr that can play the game. I would prefer him over Spiller because it is a huge need (so is tackle I know)

      Bulaga. Because of Bryant's issues with the "I forgot my shoes", being winded during the rest of his workout, Deion, etc I think he may fall to the late 1st / early second round. He's outstanding talent wise, but like Syracuse's Mike Williams, he has a bad habit of letting his personality overcome his talent.

      Here's something Randy Cross put online a little bit ago:

        The Bills should just keep selecting skill players and ignore the lines.

        It's a time tested formula you can't argue with.

          Bryant may fall some, but not out of the first round. I'd be shocked if he doesn't go by the mid-teens.

          Say what you want about all the other stuff, but the kid is a top-10 talent.

            The first round isn't the only way to build a successful Oline. Most of the good lines are held together with midround selections.

              He ran what I expected of him. There is another thread about this;
              Initial reports on Dez Bryant's 40-yard dash are not encouraging. One scout in attendance texted that Bryant clocked an unconfirmed 4.57.

                Id say he is arguably top 5.

                  He has almost identical numbers to Larry Fitz and Bmarsh coming out of college when it comes to weight and 40 time. I think if he falls a lot of teams will be kicking themselves because he's like a clone of those two guys.

                    Only two receivers at the Combine had 3-cone times worse than Dez Bryant's today (7.21) - Seyi Ajirotutu (7.33) and Nyan Boateng (7.33)

                      Yeah, but his 10 yard and broad jump were off the charts. His speed may diminish over time but it's easy to see hes a quick and explosive player and at 225 that's impressive. He's gonna be a big play maker in the NFL.
