I thought Landry would be better in. The pros due to his size. OBJ is an extraordinary talent.
They're both going to be good-great WRs in the league. I would have been happy with either one. I'm just as happy(probably more so) with Cooks though. Guess we'll have to wait until next year when Payton figures out how to use him better.

I don't remember the exact details of our back and forth but it had something to do with tanking workouts. Not sure I said bust but I probably said wouldn't touch until 2nd round.
It actually came out that he did that on purpose so he would fall to a better team(he said Carolina specifically, but I think he just wanted to play for a winner).

He surely did. I was the one saying he & his agent were doing & putting things out in the media purposely. There was plenty of going back & forth. Some said I was talking out of my arse. The fact remains, you can never take what's being put out to the media word for word at draft time. There's so many smokescreens & other bullshite put out there from both teams & players that you can't get caught up in it. People tend to forget this & I guarantee when the draft rolls around this spring, there will be suckers who will take what they hear from the media word for word.
