The lack of speed is what really bothers me.The problem is Sutton feels like the type of WR Dallas loves. They seem to fall in love with bigger receivers. It's like our MO. When what we really need is some speed on offense to scare defenses.
There is plenty to like with Sutton in terms of his size, strength at the catch point, ability to win in contested situations, and like you said I think he's a bit better of a route runner than most give him credit for. He's also an excellent blocker from what I've seen.
My issue is that the offense in general needs more game-breaking speed and an ability to win in space quickly. While Sutton is a bit better of a route runner than I expected I think it's his lack of start/stop and short area burst that has people questioning his route-running.
I was under the impression that we were going to kind of re-make the WR corps a little bit but if we draft Sutton we're basically saying, well, everything is more or less fine how it was, we just wanted to get rid of Dez's contract and sideline antics.
