Watch the tape. This guy is football fast. Not a track guy. Great hands.

NFLPA just called. He's a Tight End.

Great pick!

He's gonna move around to create mismatches against slower defensive players... Which is that Sean Payton weapon that we needed after trading Sproles. By the way, Mike Triplett nailed it. He said we'd trade up for Cooks.

Brandin Cooks complete 2013 highlights - YouTube

What I like about him is that he's very durable ,creates separation,and is elusive. Good pick.

Watch how he catches the ball in the highlights, theres no bobble, its great hand-eye coordination and he snags it out of the air with strong hands, love the pick

With an improved running game, stills and cooks are burning some defenses this year

I guess Triplett was right. Lol.

I'm not in love with the pick, because I really wanted Dennard or Verrett. But I trust the front office knows what they're doing.

Part of me wonders if he's actually going to play more of the Sproles/Bush role than playing as a traditional wide receiver. He won't be lined up as a running back of course, but moving him around formations to get matchups, throwing him screens and slants and letting him run after the catch.

Remind anybody of Steve Smith minus the attitude?

I like Cooks, but I don't like giving up a 3rd rounder in a deep draft to get him. Therefore i say bad pick.
