Once again common sense takes a vacation. Pinning ALL their hopes? Really? Dallas had the #2 offense in the NFL last season. Romo threw for a career high in yards and rating. They did all of that with the receivers they have on the roster, before Bryant was drafted and even with Williams having a bust year. So the addition of Bryant only makes them deeper at that position. I assure you there are many teams that WISHED they had a Patrick Crayton problem. A WR with his production at #3 on the depth chart? That is a good problem to have.
Felix Jones NOT a threat? Name 3 other players in the league at that position with his speed that are a threat to take it to the house every time they touch the ball? Chris Johnson comes to mind, but that is about it.
Spears was shopped last season, and this season. Again, good quality depth at a position allows teams to shop certain players for draft picks. Spears is not going anywhere. They shopped Crayton and Hurd as well. Again because of the depth they have at certain positions.
You could easily replace Spears name with Haynesworth in that statement.

I very much agree w/you on everything sandtrap, except for LT. I'm not saying Adams is that good at this point of his career, though he really was a very solid LT for years despite his penalties. The point warpath was making I think is that Free isn't that battle tested & we'll have to see how he does over the course of a season. They must think Free is the man though.
I thought the release of Adams was a little surprising due to the lack of investment in his position. I've been shocked the past few years that your boys haven't used higher picks on the o line, because they've had a ton of picks & they have good depth everywhere else. I wondered on a couple of draft days if JJ was taking Vinny's advice!
