Hope we go defense next pick.

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

We had to replace Moore and Sproles so I'm fine with the Cooks pick. That pick has Sean Payton written all over it... He's gonna use this guy as a real mismatch against slower defensive players.

I would of loved Dennard but Cooks is ok in the slot.

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Now I don't hate the Gilbert pick so much anymore. JF to the Browns.

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Like the pick, needed to replace Moore/Sproles and get faster on offense

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Because we already have that guy in Joe Morgan

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

10 career receptions and two years on IR with only a one year contract

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

If only he could stay healthy?

Joe Morgan is nothing like Brandin Cooks

Payton: Periodically you have a real strong conviction on a player, and this was one of them. #NOpick

Payton said #Saints felt like they had team speed already w/ Meachem, Stills, Toon. "This was more about makeup of player


Larry Holder ‏@LarryHolder 7m
Payton said Cooks will have a chance to return kicks. Has the skillset to do it.

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Cooks didn't come to #Saints facility for visit. Didn't need to. Payton: "He was someone that was as clean and clear as to who he was ..."

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Injuries are fluky and I think he's past that at this point. I think he's going to shine this year.

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

If Sean wanted him, Philadelphia was right there and might have taken him with his history with Chip Kelly. Just sayin. He probably felt he had to jump over them.

Ramon Antonio Vargas
Brandin Cooks: "Anyone who has seen him play or has been involved in his career is very impressed with him," Sean Payton said.

Payton said some players are brought in for visits so the team can fill out some unanswered questions, etc.

Best player available or filled a need? #Saints Payton said both. Cooks filled a need and was highest-graded player. #NOpick

#Saints Payton: Gives us a threat, and he's a guy that can be used in a lot of ways. ... And more than anything else, type of guy that fits

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Cooks is going to be an animal. Tremendous athlete.......and ready to start.
Sweet! Now, go get a corner. Just don't forget about center.

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Would you be against trading next years first round pick to move back into the first round and take Dennard?

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Manziel just got jinxed. Last two quarterbacks the Browns took were in the first round at pick 22 as well. Brady Quinn and Brandon Weeden. Ouch.


Sniff. Bye Ford.

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Ford gone :/

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

I dont think we are in desperate need of a corner.
Bailey,White,Robinson and Sweeting

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

I'd be ok with that. I think this trade screwed us for a very good CB in not only round 1, but round three as well, not to mention an ILB like Christian Jones in the third if we go CB in round 2

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Bailey is older and I'm sure we need some corners for the future if not just for camp. White needs some work

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Cooks is a tremendous athlete and comes ready to start. 4.3 speed and good route runner with great YAC. Sweet!

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Stills runs 4.38. So what's the point?

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Bengals took Dennard, so no trading back, haha

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

I'm totally satisfied , I called it months ago, I can't believe it but I finally got this pick right. he can fly, fastest dude at combine wow and he is a saint. colstons career just got prolonged.

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Cooks openes plenty of option on offense.
Teams have to respect the home run abilty of him opening space for speed of Morgan and Stills so still more space for Runs and Colston/Graham

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

I just know that we don't do a good job drafting WRs in the first round...I hope this changes this year....

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

They both run fast but they are two completely different receivers. There's a difference... a big one at that primarily on the way they're used.

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

its his speed out the box that makes him different from stills,

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

I don't believe payton gives a rats but on how 1st rd receivers turned out in his previous drafts.

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Dang, I don't think we needed to trade that high for Cooks. This is looking like a reach at this point. I think it looks like we could have stayed put and gotten him at 27:bng:

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

He would have been snapped up had we not traded up
Eagles would have taken him for one

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD

Cooks said last time he spoke to #Saints was the combine, but had a gut feeling he might wind up here. knew it was coming when he saw trade

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Eagles went defense. I just don't see it.

OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Damn... The Cardinals took Deone Bucannon in the first round. That's a shocker.

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Nxt round will be interesting

Re: OFFICIAL - FIRST ROUND NFL LIVE DRAFT THREAD
 

Damn Saints play two receivers 6'5 (Evans, Benjamin) four times a year
