I like the depth of this draft more than most and would've liked a little more quantity.

1. You "felt you could have gotten Cooks @27 "based on what?

Obviously Loomis/Payton had a reason to jump and secure him. I'm going to have to side with the two men responsible for bringing us a Super Bowl and do this for a living.

2. Your "tired of being told that Loomis and Payton are geniuses". That goes against wanting quantity over quality.

Wanting quantity over quality tells me you believe he is a genius and can make a silk purse out of 2 sows ears.

Or you just felt it should go one way and it didn't so your down on the pick?
