Agreed that another WR would be nice
The Saints traded Cooks and picked up Ginn. Woof.
Cruz seems like a perfect guy in that Cotchery role
Would this 4.22 40 dude be on the board in round 2?
Ross? I think he's projected 1st round
The Pats got Cooks and a 4th from the Saints for their 1st and 3rd.
So for their first three picks, they got Cooks, Ealy, a high 3rd and a high 4th.
Unless you rate Cooks particularly highly, this seems like a waste of a 1st and 2nd.
Cooks will produce, but so will the litany of other FAs and low picks they play at WR. That's because of Brady. They gave up a 1st and 2nd when they could have spent those on positions that Brady can't cover, like DB or LB.
I don't think it's a great yield. But they're not always going to have Brady. They may be thinking about the future.
Michael Thomas looks like he's gonna be a stud, and they have some decent other options. Cooks seemed expendable.
I like the move by the Saints, though I would've liked it more if they could've somehow pried Malcolm Butler loose. That was probably too much to get in return, though
Cooks is not a top 10, much less a top 5, WR
Damn I'm sick of hearing about Moss. Moss Moss Moss. Every day after soccer or basketball or baseball practice all the kids "Can we play Moss, can we play Moss". Let's go! No we're playing Moss. Until invariably someone gets hit in the head. If I never hear Randy Moss' name again I will be happy. Rant over.
