Brandin Cooks relishes Smitty Comparisons.

[TrianglePanther]

Of all fan bases, we should be most receptive to the idea of an undersized WR. Don't understand the obsession with getting a 6' 5" guy like it will magically solve Cam's tendency to overthrow people.

[LinvilleGorge]

If this guy was 2" taller, he wouldn't even be in the conversation because he'd definitely be gone. I want football players, not guys that look good on a spec sheet.

QBs like Cam just never seem to have all pro type receivers to throw to. I wanna see that poo at least once in my lifetime. Saw a glimpse of it with McNabb and T.O. and we all saw what happened for that one year. I credit that to those QBs overachieving going from worse to first too quickly. So they don't accumulate enough top draft picks.

We had our chances. Steve being Superman for so long somehow makes it hard for us to eventually move on from him

We're the only franchise with a midget as our #1 target. It's not the norm. Every so-called elite QB in the league have at least one jump ball receiver on their team.

Smith would have been the #2 receiver 4 years ago with most other teams. Guys like Cam need to start opening their mouth and make some demands. McNabb was known for keeping his mouth shut like a scared little biatch so he waste all his career throwing to some stick called pinkston. Now Cam is about to start his fourth year with a 5'9 35 year old as his #1 target. I'm sure those other so-called elite QBs wouldn't tolerate that.

[Evengelion]

I like Cooks a lot and would not mind at all if we drafted him. The more play makers on the team, the better.

 

If he runs a 4.5 at the combine like someone said in this thread, he could be available later in the 2nd. Combine will be big for these receivers, there is so much depth at the position, some players will start standing out during the combine.

He said he'll run in the 4.3s.

That's true. Tom Brady too. Just recently they're saying it's about that time to get him somebody. Atleast he had Randy for one point

Brady had his share of jump ball guys with gronk, hernandez, and moss. I'm sure they're in search for another one to compliment gronk. They make a concerted effort to make it easy for those so-called elite guys. More elite more weapons. You'd think the reverse would be the norm.

[Kevin Greene]

Wah wah! He's too small, wah wah!

 

3 of the Top 7 Wide Receivers in the NFL this year were 5' 10".

4 were 6' or less.

 

 

[iamcline]

Tired of the tiny guys.  If they work, then fine...but you can't teach a 5'8" receiver to play 6'4".  This franchise lucked out with Smith.

[Beast_3000]

As much as I would hate to miss out on a guy that could be a playmaker like Smitty his measurables are just a turnoff. We need big targets for cam not little ones.

Would you be opposed to drafting Cooks at 28 if we let Hardy walk. Bring in a second tier Defensive end like Will Smith, Tuck or Micheal Bennett. Then use the remaining money to bring in Hakeem Nicks , Mitchell, Ginn and draft O-line and secondary thereafter?

There are several ways to build this castle. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer if the puzzle pieces fit.

[DaCityKats]

I wouldn't be upset if he is the pick at #28. Hopefully a larger target would be brought in as well.

I think you're overrating the hell out of McNabb.  Andy Reid makes every QB look good.
