re: Would you trade Cooks for any of the receivers drafted before him?

It's a reference to another poster who legitimately argued (during the Graham contract situation) that we didn't need Graham anymore because Coleman could do anything he could.

It doesn't pay to covet what you don't or can't have. Best to focus on what you do have and put it to it's best use. That being said I believe the Saints will put Cooks to better use than the Bills will use Watkins.

3. If you think their strength is similar you're crazy. Sammy runs over linebackers. Watch the Orange Bowl and see him make Shazier (this board's Draft Dildo) look like a 160 pound corner. He puts him on skates like he's not even wearing cleats. He tosses NFL DBs from FSU around like they're scrubs when they try to press him.
Yeah, I'm excited about Cooks & what he can do in the Saints offense but this is spot on. Cooks is strong for his size but Watkins is grown man, country strong. He runs like a running back with the ball in his hands & is a bull against press coverage. I'm not sure there was another receiver in this draft at high pointing passes either.

How do you think Martavis Bryant will do with the Steelers?

Never seen any reason to believe in Bryant other than what he was given physically. Naturally the guy is more gifted than any WR drafted since God knows when. He's 6'4, the fastest player on Clemson's team (including Sammy) and can leap like a gazelle.
He also never did squat for 2 years and was inconsistent his final year. He's beyond lazy and only sees football as a way to better his circumstances. He's not a guy who has the hunger to he great or out in the extra hours. I have no reason to think he'll be anything other than an average player.

Ahhhh....just noticed the Clemson logo. I was wondering why you were giving Sammy the verbal felatio. Now I know why.
As you were then.

As a Saints and Clemson fan I bet I'm uniquely suited to be the most objective judge around regarding these two.

Sammy without even thinking about it and Evans most likely he's a monster. Would have to think about ODB but yeah most likely

I'd keep Cooks at this point. The Saints were missing raw speed in last year's offense, both Devery Henderson deep-ball speed and Bush/Sproles open-space speed. Cooks looks like he is going to fill those needs extremely well, and is showing some elite hands to go with it.
My main desire is that the Saints have an unstoppable offense, not that any one player have insane numbers; well, except for Brees.

I'd trade the Saints entire draft for Odell

In terms of skill set that the saints and Brees need, no. He's the perfect compliment to the other offensive talent we have. In terms of teams rebuilding, definitely Watkins or Evans.

Since none of these have played the first snap in a regular season game, that's an easy answer: Watkins.
Question: If Watkins had been on the board, who do you think we would have drafted?
I'd say, without a doubt, Watkins.

Watkins has decent size, very quick, pretty strong, and he has the ability to turn quick throws into big gains. He can do it all in regards to route running from what I hear Clemson fans say, but a lot of his routes were short last year and he turned them into big gains.
Cooks on the other hand is the small speed playmaker that you want a guy to keep an eye on at all times. It's very possible he could be the best in this whole class because he has very high football IQ.
Give me either, but if I had to choose I'd take Watkins just because he has size. Players have proven that being short isn't always a disadvantage, but the physical mold of a WR I personally would want is Watkins more than Cooks

Cooks or Watkins?
Brees or Luck?
I wish I could delete these threads.

No need to make it personal.

Woahhhh..Hey guy, watch it there. No one needs to delete anyone. Let's all just relax.
