re: Cooks Trade Evaluation

Cooks Trade Evaluation Cooks is not one dimensional himself. But combining a short WR with a short QB creates a much more one dimensional situation as the route tree becomes compressed. Cooks was very good in Nola but will probably be even better in NE with Brady. This is probably a case of good trade for both teams involved.

I guess steve smith and Jake Delhomme really beat the odds in Carolina. So did Dave Krieg in Seattle with Steve Largent in the past and Russell Wilson and Doug Baldwin currently.

This theory makes no sense, yes it's ideal to be able to throw jump balls to a guy that's taller than the person covering him, but I'm sure you'd love to have Antonio Brown on this team in a heartbeat. To say that a Wr's height makes him one dimensional is odd especially with Cooks's hands, speed, and agility. People also forget how the kid went up for the ball and won battles (Denver this past season is one that stands out). The only things limit a Wr in the NFL is bad qb play, poor route running, bad hands, and a lack of speed/quickness. None of those were a problem with Brees and Cooks.
