    Dez Bryant will be better than Marshall throughout his career and he hasn't been arrested.

    No to Marshall, the money and the chance he could face a long suspension for another incident are too much of a risk.

    I picked Marshall, he's already a proven receiver regardless of the character issues (which both receivers seem to have).

    The key here is he hasn't been arrested "YET". Give him a big contract, let his head swell and he'll be locked up in no time.

    Dez seems to be another Brandon Marshall, without the proven production in the NFL. If I had to pick one it would be the one I at least know can get things done in the next level. Wait until Dez meets some of the premier CB in the league. I bet you will all be surprised on how much he WON'T produce.

    That said, I wouldn't be happier to eat my words as long as Dez is producing for us and not another team. I would take any receiver that will open up our offense to down-field passing :up:

    Why do you say this? I think Brandon Marshall could be had for a first round pick....next year.

    And having Marshall, IMO, would almost single handedly mean we were picking later than 12 next season, not to mention we could still pick up quality player with our first three draft picks.

    And risk? Who is more risky than a rookie WR with character issues that has Eugene Parker as an agent?

    We know Brandon Marshall can plan in this league. We think Dez Bryant can. Thats the biggest difference right now.

    How is this even close?

    I doubt it. If they want one of these guys, the choice is clear IMO. Its not that tough a decision.

    I am willing to bet $20 right now to anyone that Dez Bryant is a holdout in camp, to whichever team drafts him.

    So he can't produce either if hes not in camp, not getting reps, not making plays.

    History is also littered with first round "cant miss" WR prospects who are in the trash pile of draft busts.

    Forget history...lets use logic. We know one WR can play in this league. We know this. We don't know about another one. We just don't know.

    Who will be better this year? Marshall, clearly. And we've got history of trading WRs, good and bad. We traded for Paul Warfield (way back history)..worked out great for us. We traded away Tony Martin...SD raped us on that one.

    Bottom line to me is you dont pass on a proven dominating player for an unproven one, especially if they are BOTH young. Marshall hands down.

    You're right. They've probably already erased Marshall from the realm of possibilities due to off the field issues. And Dez is probably hanging from a thread. It will be hard for the front office to select anything but defense in the first 2 rounds.

    His many off field problems and arrests don't concern you?

    If we acquire Brandon Marshall I may just start rooting for another NFL team. Sorry, I want to win but not with thugs and low lifes. We're better then this Dolphin fans...maybe if you all lived in Colorado you would realize what a maggot Marshall is and you wouldn't be so high on him.

    The arrests are mostly frat boy stuff or related to that psycho woman he's been dating since high school. The stuff doesn't really seem that bad to me. Seems like if he would get rid of that woman he would have hardly any off field issues.

    Here is the wiki on his legal troubles most of which were either dismissed or he was found not guilty.


    [edit]Legal trouble
    According to Orlando-Orange County public records (case 48-2004-MM-012392-O), on Halloween 2004, while a student at UCF, Marshall was arrested in Orlando on charges of assault on a law enforcement officer, refusal to obey, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer.[54]
    On January 1, 2007, Marshall was present at "The Shelter," a nightclub in Denver, Colorado, along with teammates Javon Walker and Darrent Williams. The trio was attending a birthday party held for and by Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin. As the players were leaving the club in a limousine, Williams was fatally shot in the neck after an unknown assailant opened fire on the vehicle. Willie Clark was later charged with the murder.[55] Walker has stated in interviews that the shooter was likely a nightclub patron whose motive was retaliation after being involved in an altercation with Marshall's cousin earlier that night.[56]
    On March 26, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Highlands Ranch suburb of Denver on suspicion of domestic violence after his girlfriend reported that following a domestic dispute, Marshall prevented a taxi she was in from leaving his house.[57] Charges from the incident were later dismissed on May 25, 2007, after Marshall completed anger management counseling.[58]
    In the early morning of October 22, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area at the intersection of 14th and Blake St. for driving under the influence of alcohol.[59] A trial was scheduled for September 16, but Marshall instead agreed to a plea bargain four days earlier; he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of driving while ability impaired.[60] He was sentenced to one-year probation and 24 hours of community service.
    On June 12, 2008, Marshall was ticketed for an illegal lane change, then found to be without his license and proof of insurance.[61] The case was eventually dropped as part of a plea bargain for the October 22, 2007 driving incident involving alcohol.[60]
    According to an article published in the Rocky Mountain News on July 28, 2008, Douglas County deputies fielded "about 11" calls to Marshall's home since January 2006. The article stated that one call resulted in Marshall being arrested (the March 26, 2007 domestic dispute), and some did not involve him at all.[62]
    A September 17, 2008 article on CompleteColorado.com stated that the solicitor's office in Fulton County, Georgia filed misdemeanor battery charges on September 10 for an alleged incident on March 4, 2008, in Atlanta, Georgia. Marshall was booked on March 6, then released the next day after posting a $1,000 cash bond.[63] The case was assigned to Judge John Mather in Georgia state court.[64] On August 14, 2009, a jury in Atlanta found Marshall not guilty.[65]
    On March 1, 2009, Marshall was arrested in Atlanta for disorderly conduct after allegedly being involved in a fight with his fiancee, Michi Nogami-Campbell. Marshall was released on a $300 bond.[66] The charges were dropped the following day.[67]
