Was Cooks worth giving the 3rd pick?

In a very deep WR draft, was it worth the price?
I have mixed feelings because we obviously don't have inside info on how the staff feels about the existing roster and the spots they feel they need to address. Maybe there really aren't that many spots available and losing the pick was no big deal.
Just want a yes or no. Was it worth it?

the action done has made the obvious. like i said yesterday, depth of good doesn't mean you don't go after cream of the crop

exactly...how many WR's are there out there like Cooks just because it'a a "deep draft"? not a lot.
you select an individual player not a position group

Yes. It's really not even a question.
Posted on 5/9/14 at 8:14 am to adono
I say so

Yes, the saints wanted Beckham or Cooks with the pick.

yup

I just said this in the other thread. You use a third and trade up to guarantee getting a 20 year old with some Sproles-type skills. And you still have the possibility of taking the fifth you got for Sproles (even though you were going to release him anyway) and packaging it and getting back into the third round.
I don't see the problem.

-There are a lot of good WR's in this draft.
-Saints consider Cooks to be elite
-You don't pass up Elite just so you can get someone good

Yes.
Been repeating "we need explosive playmakers in the backfield and at WR" ad nauseam so one down one to go!

Yes.
And and I'm happy we did it considering who was left at our original pick.

The move was fine, I didnt think the Saints gave up too much. I see why they did it to block Philly from picking him but I still dont like the pick itself.

This, those are two guys who can be game changers come the first game. When a guy can take the role of two players in an offense, you get him

Why? They didn't trade up to block Philly. They traded up to get better.
I don't know how you wouldn't like the pick. He's what we've been missing on offense.

YES- especially if he becomes our kick returning specialist as well. Not all wide receivers in this draft are capable of both. So we basically addressed 2 positions of need in one player.

IMO, I would have only taken Watkins over Cooks if I had the entire WR pool available to us.
Cooks appears to be the perfect fit.

Absolutely.
All great reasons why it was well worth it.
