2James Washington, Oklahoma State wide receiver
Fans of America’s Team believe that the front office needs to replace Dez Bryant immediately. But do they need to replace him at all? Let’s look back at 2016. Dez missed three games due to an injury, and the last round match vs. Eagles that was not important to Cowboys. In three of the twelve, he played, Bryant had only one reception each. The Boys won 13 games that year. Dallas’ scheme is a run-first, so they don’t need an elite receiver to be successful. Washington is a deep threat receiver whose weakness is route running. This could be groomed by Cowboys coaching stuff in coming years, as they don’t need him to have an instant impact. But, as one of the players capable of big-play moments while at Oklahoma State, defenses would have to be wary of him, giving enough space for Elliott to thrive.
