I do not think we should call them Utahraptor nor Dakotaraptor unless official word says so. Dakotaraptor's remains weren't discovered until 2005 then given its own genus in 2015. They do not resemble Utahraptor skull wise and you can't use genetic modification as an excuse because of the JPIII skull scan. The raptors were based on Deinonychus, but they seem to have several differences to them, like the 2-meter height.

Has anyone ever heard of any dromaeosaurids possessing a six-inch sickle claw? I don't know if this is a feature that belongs to Deinonychus or if any existing dromaeosaurid has a sickle claw that large.
