WR at 28 Question

[Dex]

Because I think the 3 are close running and are 3 very different types of players.  What sets Cooks apart in your opinion for what we need?

Playmaker, plain and simple. His YAC are ridiculous and something we've been missing. 

 

[Growl]

Robinson is the superior of the 3, and I like him overall.

He's quickly approaching my "This Is My Guy List."

Similar to Matthews, quicker, more explosive, wider frame. Would take him over Matthews.

[Growl]

Cooks. How is this up for debate?

Because he's the least desirable prospect of the 3 listed.

Not sure I understand the "Cooks is too small" argument when the same people love Steve Smith and others were begging for Tavon Austin if Star wasn't available last year.  

 

I'd much rather have Cooks than Austin.

Beckham and Cooks.

I feel the same.  His ability far outweighs his size.  I just like the way OBJ plays out of these three the most but I think it's a pretty close running. I'd possibly consider one of them over JM.

 

This year is a close call and I don't think there's gonna be a runaway favorite at 28 no matter the position.

Cooks averaged 5.5 yards after the catch. That doesn't compare very favorably to the other 1st round WR prospects....

[carolina-chuck]

Wouldnt mind Davante Adams too.

For me it's Beckham or Robinson. I find it odd that many on here want to tout a 5'7'' receiver, yet any corner has to be 6'0'' or he is Captain Munnerlyn. Bliss.

To be fair, Brandin Cooks is over 5'10 but I see where you're coming from.  

[IamSoClutch]

If those were the only ones left I would get either ba OT or TE

Let's say the top-5/or guys talked about a lot are gone by 28:

 

Watkins, Evans, Benjamin, Matthews, and Lee

 

This can definitely happen imo because you have the Redskins, Lions, Jets, Ravens, Colts, and Chiefs at the very least who need wideouts pretty bad (albeit a few worse than others so they may not all necessarily take a WR).  Also, there's more than one wideout needy team past us that could trade up for someone.    

 

Now out of the remaining crop, would you take any at 28?

 

Most notables:

 

Allen Robinson

Odell Beckham Jr.

Brandin Cooks

 

I know it's dependent on what other guys are available but would you be content with any of those three at 28?

 

Not asking if you'd take them over an available CB, OL, or whatnot but if you would take a wideout outside that top-5 at 28.   

A GUY I'D LIKE US TO TAKE WITH THE 28TH PICK WOULD BE JORDAN MATTHEWS OUT OF VANDERBILT.. HE'S ONLY 21, HE'S 6'3" & HE SURPASSED THE HIGH EXPECTATIONS OF HIM TO BE A STANDOUT AT THE SENIOR BOWL... WOULD BE THE BEST BIG WR WE'VE HAD SINCE MUHAMMAD LEFT THE FIRST TIME.
