No prospect screams "WR1" to me after cursory glance

[Trill OG]

Landry isn't realistic, he will be overpaid. If we want a consistent WR who can catch and wont break the bank. There is no better option than Michael Crabtree. Call him soft or whatever, but he is consistent and dependable catching the ball.

If you want a low risk high reward WR, go after Terrelle Pryor. He has potential, but he also has risk. He could be a slightly better version of Tedd Ginn.

A name nobody has talked about who could be available is Dez Bryant. Is Dez done?

Landry provides a sure, consistent threat in the slot,  but A slot guy wouldn't  necessarily be the best use of resources (particularly an expensive one).  Moreover,  I wouldn't  say that Robinson has been any more of a "sure thing" than any of them.  Injuries have taken their toll,  but he's inexplicably disappeared sometimes. Not saying that this is a constant problem,  but Marquise Lee may end up the better value if both can consistently stay on the field. 

Landry if giving the opportunity can play any WR position based on attitude and work ethic.. Plus he is a precise route runner and hands guy.. These guys usually thrive in any system..

I get that Landry has a good work ethic and all that,  but his best fit by far is in the slot.  He is not as nearly as effective on the outside. Sure,  I'd take him if he didn't break the bank, but that doesn't  seem realistic.

Landry will cost money but reality check is .. You pay for 1000 yard 90 rec type wr.. 

Crabtree is a meh... Will help but how much really..

Pryor is a ? and at this point I'm tired of the what if or prospect players..

Sounds like their best option is to trade for a player.  Player for player or draft pick.

Hell, with Hurney here we would have better odds and get more value if he traded a pick for one.  The pick won't amount to poo if it's not a 1st rounder anyway.

No Landry is a slot guy. He is not a deep threat at all. If we are paying big money to a WR he needs to be able to play on the outside against the best corner on the opposing team.

I really don't think there is a #1 WR in this FA class. That's why I say target the realistic guys who we know we can sign and they will have an impact.

Michael Crabtree fits the bill. He gives Cam a reliable target who can catch the ball. Maybe double up and get a deep threat as well with Terrelle Pryor.

Crabtree, Funchess, Pryor, Byrd, Samuel. Is a nice mix of WR's who can compliment each other.

Best fit and what's best for thge team are 2 different things.. My opinion is guys with great route running ability and hands .. Do well where ever you put them.. Like Deandre Hopkins..

Did you just say Landry is a 1000 yard type WR? True.

Pryor is a ? How he had a 1000 yards before he went to Washington, not to mention he would be much cheaper than Landry.

I rather not break the bank and sign Pryor over a slot WR in Landry who will command #1 WR type money.

I think Crabtree/Pryor could be a realistic pairing were we can sign both because they will come cheap.

Landry is whatever you want him or need him  to be because he can run routes and has a high catch rate.. These guys thrive no matter what..

Bad QB play

Bad Offensive scheme

Constantly changing OC's

Guys like Landry, And Hopkins still produce..

Hopkins is arguably a top 3 WR in the NFL. How are you comparing Landry to Hopkins? They are not even close to being the same type of player.

Top three?  Maybe in theory.

Ok so what happens when the Browns throw a boatload of money to Landry?

Listen I get that he is a good WR, but im trying to be realistic. He will likely be the best WR on the market, which means he will be overpaid by other teams with capspace. I don't think we have a realistic shot at signing him even if we wanted to.

Pryor did it 1 time..  

Landry has done it almost every season he has been in the league.. Plus he is younger than pryor
