Stephen Jones and Wade Phillips both have said in the past few weeks that running back, cornerback and wide receiver are the team’s biggest needs with the draft approaching. And although the team likely will stand pat as far as any big moves are concerned before April 26, the Cowboys will keep their eyes on the wide receivers around the league — think Chad Johnson, Anquan Boldin, and the Lions’ Roy Williams — and whether they suddenly become available. If that were the case, team sources imagine that parting with a first-round pick to land the right wideout would not be a problem, especially with owner Jerry Jones having said he wants to add some "wow" to the offense. The team likes Patrick Crayton, who started most of last season and could be a No. 2 if needed, but the choice of adding a top veteran wide receiver over a rookie who might be two years away from developing fully is not much of a choice at all.
