Obviously when they had Romo, Dez was a clear #1 WR. He put up over a grand and at least 10 TDs his last three years with Romo. But with Dak, they didn't seem to mesh well.
In the last three years, which is what I have said, they are the same guy basically. Bryant shades better because of TD's but frankly your not paying Bryant much more than Lafell on anything other than name recognition.
Bryant- 2035 yards, 150 receptions, 17 TDs, average of 49% catch rate.
LaFell- 1925 yards, 153 receptions, 9 TDs, average of 56.1% catch rate.
I am not paying guys based on what they did when they were fresh, pre injury, and new to the league I pay them on recent success. Recent success tells me LaFell is basically Dez now except he catches less TD's but is more reliable at actually catching the ball when it's thrown to him. Dez got found out a couple years back, I think it was Norman who basically said the guy runs three routes and based on tape and tendency you basically know which one he runs each play within a yard of the line.
....again if Dez would play for what LaFell is making I'd take Dez, but seriously the gap between the two TODAY isn't what people think it is.
