re: Cooks Pick Revisited

for the record
Kyle Fuller is 3 years older than Cooks
Kelvin Benjamin is 2.5 years older
Cooks played 1/4 of last season as a 20yr old. Think about what you were doing at 20, and how much better you are at your job now.
Not that he was even bad. But it was clear they eased him in as far as the playbook. I just remember those articles leading up to the draft about how hard he worked and how great his character is again. I'm betting on the kid, personally. He's going to be good.
As for these other bigger WR's, this is another deep draft in 15' at WR. We can find our Jordan Matthews, Donte Moncreift or Davante Adams this year, and have a nice pair of WR for the future

Great point about about age. That is huge as he will be a star for us a lot longer than others would have been.
And we shouldn't forget that he missed some of the offseason because of his school being on a quarters system and him not being technically graduated until the summer.

Exactly. We can get these guys in other drafts. How often can you get an elite playmaker though? Not saying Cooks is this, but the organization saw him as such and decided getting an elite player is better than a very good one. I completely agree with them on this concept. I also believe he will be that elite player.
