re: Daniel Jeremiah projects Amari Cooper to the Giants

I guess I should have been more clear. That's on me.
Randle isn't a foundation WR2. He's not a guy you stick in the WR2 slot and say "well that position is covered." I wouldn't want to roll into the season with Randle being my WR2. He just isn't that good. He'll do in a pinch but it's not ideal.
Good news is that Randle won't have to be a WR2 if Cruz returns to his pre-injury level (or close enough). However, we don't know if he will return to that level. He'll turn 29 this season and that was a nasty injury.
The Giants have a tough decision to make.
I don't know enough about OL or defensive players to say whether any should be taken over Cooper; but from what I've seen and read, Cooper is going to be a immediate starter in the NFL with significant upside. Him and ODB can lock down those positions for the foreseeable future. I don't see the issue with taking a stud like Cooper at the 9 spot and working on defense and OL with the remaining picks. Then again, I'm not a draft analyst like so many of the MSB. I'm just a lowly NFL fan.

who knows if Randle gets his attitude right and is even in the NFL three years from now - but with Cruz to pair with Beckham? You'd have to think there's no other similar talent available in a position of more need to take another WR.
For example, the Giants have had trouble keeping Manning upright for a while - that's a bigger big picture deal if you buy into the build from the inside out football philosophy.
Think back a couple of years back to when the Falcons drafted Julio Jones. He's nothing short of spectacular when he's healthy but they ignored other positions of need and with a big contract to Ryan they can't afford to spend free agent money to keep their proven talent or bring in good replacements. It hasn't worked for them IMO.
