Even if he’s lost a little explosiveness over two years, Dez is still Dez. He is still capable of dynamic plays and being the primary receiver. Bryant will benefit greatly from the rest of first-round bye and will be as aggressive as ever, looking to right the wrongs from the “no catch” in 2014.
The combination of Williams and Beasley is far more potent now than in 2014. Dak Prescott has a fantastic chemistry with Beasley, allowing Cole to emerge as a second security blanket option. Williams has improved as a receiver and is fighting for a new contract.
Jason Witten, as we all do, loses a step every year. However, that hasn’t stopped him from still being an effective weapon in the offense. He had more chemistry with Tony Romo, of course, but Prescott has still been able to rely on Witten in clutch moments and make critical plays.
Dez and Witten may be older but the guys behind them are stronger than ever. Throw in the upgrade of Butler over Harris and the 2016 receivers have a clear edge.
