It's interesting how many of this forum wanted Tavon Austin last year but this year Cooks, an equal or better player, is all a sudden too small.

 

Tavon Austin would have probably been a 2nd round pick in this years draft with all the talent at WR.  He was just considered the best available WR in 2013's draft (in reality it turned out Keenan Allen was the best).  Uninformed fans wanted him because he was the best available WR.

It'll be interesting to see which receiver proehl falls in love with in this draft, supposedly was high on Keenan Allen last year and look what he did

Yeah hopefully they will listen the the veteran. He didn't play 10 plus years in the league because of his size. He played because he was a good athlete but even better route runner with good hands. I have also heard he is a very intelligent guy.

I think Proehl would be a better talent evaluator for a receiver than most of the scouts. His input needs to be heavily considered when evaluating prospects.

      Panthers agree to 1-year deal with RB Rico Dowdle

      Trying to help those 3 folks who hate this move.    In 2025 2.75 million is basically the new "vet" minimum.    They still need #3 RB and returner, draft could/should be the lane for that.    There's no downside to this move, they could cut with little effect and replace with your chosen rookie.

      Tee Higgins Smoke...

      Is it though? Even looking at just this past year, DK played 3 more games and had 81 more yards than Higgins had, but he also did it on less catches, with DK averaging 15 yards per catch and Higgins with 12.5. Yes, Higgins had 10 TDs to DK's 5, but I'd say that was far less about the WRs than the QBs, seeing as Burrow had 43 TDs (and only 9 INTs) to Geno's 21 TDs (and 15 INTs).  Swap the two of them last year and DK puts up better stats with Burrow as his QB than Higgins did, no doubt about it in my mind. DK has also only missed 3 games in his career, Higgins has missed 5 in each of the last 2 seasons. People here complain about our WR speed (and it's many people's biggest issue with T-Mac in the draft), but Higgins ran a 4.59 40 and DK ran a 4.33. DK has only played one more season than Higgins but he has 1,730 yards and 14 TDs more than Higgins, despite playing with the ghost of Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, while Higgins has had Burrow. To me, there is no debate, DK is a significantly better WR than Higgins.  Give him Burrow as his QB during his career and his numbers would dwarf what Higgins has put up.
