re: Cooks Trade Evaluation

I like it. Cooks might not be a one-dimensional WR (jury's out on that), but he was here.

Great numbers, but misleading... he was the quick strike guy. He wasn't the go-to for 3rd down, move the chains, or redzone.

Quick strikes are fine, but our defense was fragile, and got exposed too much. Fast TD drives followed by fast opponent TDs is basically a wash.
Need to slow it down, rest the D, establish the run, and maximize Brees' ability to control the flow.

Getting the top tackle in the draft trumps having a luxury at WR. REALLY odd, even in a down year, that O-line would drop so far. So just by this pick, I'd say we came out good. Will be interesting to see what we get with the 3rd rd pick.
