Breer should work for an NFL team since he thinks hes a guru at recognizing talent.

If I was an NFL GM, I'd want to know if I employed this WR coach. And if I did, I'd fire him on the spot for being a moron.

I like Bryant a lot. But the best prospect in 10 years??? C'mon...

Breer should just go back to Dallas, where he could fellate Dez Bryant for the next 10 years. I've never seen anyone so bitter because the team he covers didn't draft his binky.

PROSPECT, he is arguably one of the best WR prospect in the last ten years IMO. At least top 5.

WR is a risky pick.

The bust rate when I went over this a couple weeks back was 40%.

There are other positions with high bust rates as well, like RB.

This is Breer's 'Borges moment'.

We still remember who Borges wanted us to draft instead of Seymour.

I would have taken Bryant over Andre based on college performance. Both really only had great junior years, but Bryant's junior year was a lot more impressive than Andre's.

He's not the top, but he is top 3.

He's got an axe to grind.

My question is why he didn't name the coach. Why does a WR coach need to remain anonymous when evaluating a WR prospect who has already been drafted? Seriously, these comments were off the record? I don't mind having an agenda...but at least be a grown-up about it.

It is much more likely that this comment is at best an exaggeration. Any WR coach that made that evaluation and actually meant it would bring into question his evaluation skills. Bryant may be the 2nd coming of Jerry Rice, but none of his film against top teams would lead you in that direction.

As I said, I really like him, and I really would have liked to have seen us draft him. But the hyperbole surrounding these draft picks has been wearing on me lately. Guess I read/watched too much draft coverage this year. (Okay okay, that's not possible).
