In the First Round, Saints Pick Wide Reciever Brandin Cooks

Jack Vegas · 05-08-2014, 11:59 PM

The thing that just kind of blows my mind is that we got Stills in the 5th round last year, but we had to trade up this year to get Cooks in the 1st round of a draft that was supposedly stacked with receivers. And they are very similar players. Is Cooks really THAT much better than Stills? And with Brees' accuracy issues last year especially on the deep ball, will we be able to take advantage of all this speed?

Like the player from what I've read, but I just can't stop thinking that we could've had Verrett, which would've really shored up our corner position, then still been able to snag a WR like Landry or Jordan Matthews in the 2nd.
