Guess who got 16 reps on the bench press today

I wouldn't discount his size, but if we want to move Smitty to the slot we cannot draft Cooks... Between Smitty, Olsen, and Cooks there wouldn't be enough snaps to justify taking Cooks with our 1st pick. With that said I believe Cooks will be a stud, just not our stud.

 

There are many other directions we could go, such as Devante Adams, Jordan Matthews, or Kelvin Benjamin with our first pick

 

PS- I think Jeff Janis had the best workout among the second group, I think Prohl could turn Janis into a solid number 2 if we drafted late

 

Cooks doesn't need to be strictly lined up in the slot. He excels stretching the field and high-pointing the football. He has the body of a slot-man, but his game tells a different story.

Let me get this straight:

 

You're against drafting arguably the most talented receiver in this draft, pound for pound, because you are worried that 12+ years down the line he won't be able to go up and get balls because he happens to be on the shorter side?

 

Who says he'll even last that long in the NFL?

[Gabeking]

We need a tall guy who can go up, and get the ball. Stop looking for the next Steve Smith. Too many Marty Hurney's here.

Hurney didn't even draft smitty

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Last year it was Tavon Austin. It's nothing new, every year the huddle is hung up on one player.

 

Nobody is hung up on any one single player. I think everyone here just wants the best player that can make the biggest impact right away. Cooks could be that guy. So could a handful of others. Due diligence and weighing our options is a better description of what the Huddle is doing at the moment.

Never said he did.

Really poor comparison. Cooks is a much more complete WR then Austin could have hoped to be at this point of the Draft process....

He's 5'10.

With that logic no WR should drafted...

 

thats 2 WRs and a TE. There would penty of snaps to go round.

You're the one that brought up father time catching up to players. 

[top dawg]

Hurney didn't even draft smitty

 

I thought that was true, but I was too lazy to look it up. That's why I didn't mention Hurney in my response.

[TheRed]

As usual, if you offer anything remotely other than praise about a prospect, the fan boys come running.

 

So I want a taller WR for our franchise QB, obviously I just don't like Cooks. What a joke.

[C47]

He's 5'10.

 

So he's short like Austin which means he must be the same player?

But he would excel in the slot, that quickness and burst is amazing... If we do draft him I would be all up for him and Smitty switching between roles in game, maybe its unrealistic for me to think this years pick can have the impact that Cam, Luke, and Star had in their first year
