26-year old Miles Austin will be the #1 WR for the Cowboys in 2010.  He played in 16 games (9 starts) for the Cowboys last season and he caught 81 passes for 1,320 yards (16.3 avg) with 11 TD grabs.  Austin made the Pro Bowl in 2009 for the first time and he will try to make it two in a row in 2010.  Austin has now played in 53 games (9 starts) in his four years with the Cowboys and he has caught 99 passes for 1,674 yards (16.9 avg) with 14 TD grabs. 

28-year old Roy Williams enters training camp as the Cowboys’ #2 WR but he will have to fight off rookie Dez Bryant to keep the job.  Williams played in 15 games (13 starts) for the Cowboys last season and he caught 38 passes for 596 yards (15.7 avg) with 7 TD grabs.  He has now played in 85 games (76 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 319 passes for 4,678 yards (14.7 avg) with 37 TD grabs.  Williams has made it to 1 Pro Bowl in his NFL career but it’s going to be hard for him to ever get to that level again in Dallas.

23-year old rookie Dez Bryant is hitting the ground running for the Cowboys.  The 6′1″, 217 pound first round pick out of Oklahoma State has been catching everything in sight for the Cowboys in practice so far.  He recently refused to carry Roy Williams’ pads during practice and that could be a good thing or a bad thing.  The kid is probably trying to get into Williams’ head as they are competing for a starting job in training camp.

31-year old Patrick Crayton has been a solid player for the Cowboys in the past but he’s buried on the depth chart heading into training camp.  Crayton played in 16 games (6 starts) for the Cowboys last season and he caught 37 passes for 622 yards (16.8 avg) with 5 TD grabs.  He has now played in 82 games (32 starts) in his six years in the NFL and he has caught 196 passes for 2,888 yards (14.7 avg) with 23 TD grabs.  Crayton has also carried the ball 6 times for 39 yards (6.5 ypc) in his NFL career.  He has lobbied for a trade for a while but he will have to bite the bullet and play for the Cowboys in 2010.

25-year old Sam Hurd will also have a hard time moving up the depth chart in Big D.  Hurd played in 16 games (1 start) for the Cowboys last year and he caught 7 passes for 121 yards (17.3 avg) with 1 TD grab.  He has now played in 50 games (5 starts) in his four years with the Cowboys and he has caught 31 passes for 510 yards (16.5 avg) with 2 TD grabs.

22-year old Kevin Ogletree showed some potential as a rookie with the Cowboys last year.  He played in 11 games (0 starts) for the Cowboys last year and he caught 7 passes for 96 yards (13.7 avg).  He also carried the ball 1 time for 6 yards.  Ogletree has big time potential but he will likely be brought along slowly by the Cowboys.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE COWBOYS WRs in 2010:  A

The Cowboys drafted DT Joshua Price-Brent in the 7th round of the supplemental draft.  He played in 12 games (all starts) for Illinois last season and he had 29 tackles, 7 tackles for a loss, 3 sacks and he forced 3 fumbles.  Price-Brent is a huge guy at 6′2″, 321 pounds and he has a huge upside if he can keep his head on straight.  He was academically inelgible for the 2010 season which is the main reason he made himself available for this draft.  He also spent 30 days in jail in 2009 for a DUI conviction that year. 

28-year old Jason Witten has been to six Pro Bowls in his 7 years in the NFL.  He played in 16 games (all starts) last season for the Cowboys and he caught 94 passes for 1,030 yards (11.0 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Witten has now played in 111 games (101 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 523 passes for 5,965 yards (11.4 avg) with 27 TD grabs.  Witten always seems to be on the same wave length as Tony Romo so look for him to have another outstanding year in 2010.

23-year old Martellus Bennett is one of the best backup TEs in all of football.  He played in 14 games (6 starts) for the Cowboys last season and he caught 15 passes for 159 yards (10.6 avg).  Bennett has now played in 30 games (13 starts) in his 2 years in the NFL and he has caught 35 passes for 442 yards (12.6 avg) with 4 TD grabs.  Bennett would be a starter on at least 15-20 teams in the NFL.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE COWBOYS TEs in 2010:  A+

27-year old Deon Anderson will be the starting fullback for the Cowboys again in 2010.  Anderson played in 16 games (9 starts) for the Cowboys last season but he only touched the ball one time catching a pass for 5 yards.  Anderson has now played in 38 games (18 starts) in his three years for the Cowboys.  In those games, Anderson has carried the ball 2 times for 3 yards (1.5 ypc) and he also has caught 9 passes for 67 yards (7.4 avg) with 1 TD grab.  The Cowboys just need Anderson to block for the solid trio of tailbacks they have on the roster in 2010.
