Its all about this guy in the draft.

I cooled on Auden Tate a bit after his disappointing Combine, but I think his skillset is too valuable not to roll with on Day 2 if you need an X. Still one of my top WRs in the class.

Re-watching Auden Tate in order to finalize his grade. Despite his athletic testing I still have him as a mid round player

That is a pretty lazy comparison. One guy is 6'5", 228, the other guy was 6'3", 212 with Tate being a far better redzone weapon than Randle ever was. Both guys were projects somewhat when coming out, fairly raw but for what Tate does well, he does really well and that is getting up for passes and scoring touchdowns.

He def seemed more fluid when I watched him than Randle

Dez just seems relieved that he can go find a team with an accurate QB. He's going to get paid.

He's a headache, but this was expected that they'd release him. They could've let him hit FA while everyone still had plenty of cap room.

Jed should call Jerry and get the contact information of Dez's babysitter for Reuben.

Back in the day you could just set these guys up with hookers. They never reported anything. Players haven't changed. The times have

NFL Pick 'em

Four teams that some believe could show varying levels of interest in free-agent WR Dez Bryant:

*Arizona - Issue is little money left.
*Baltimore - Room even with Michael Crabtree.
*Buffalo - Wouldn't be NFC East, but AFC East.
*Green Bay - A replacement for Jordy Nelson.

He actually reminds me a bit of Joe Jurevicius but with more upside in the redzone.

Interesting - @jamisonhensley
says the Ravens still want to add a veteran wide receiver and the "Dream scenario would be to get Dez Bryant"

We get "decent odds" for any wr who hits the market or is rumored to be traded. See Arob, Watkins, OBJ

Who would u rather have between Tate and st. Brown? Really like both, not sure which I'd prefer. Think both are much better options than dez for sure
