It's more about being tired of being told that Payton and Loomis are geniuses after every pick by certain people, when I and others think that just maybe it wasn't the best idea. I felt like we either could have gotten a better player or maybe Cooks, himself, would have still been there at 27 if they wanted him so bad. losing a 3rd rounder might not sound like a big deal to some, but I think we could have used that pick to maybe trade up late into the 2nd round for another pick there. I like the depth of this draft more than most and would've liked a little more quantity. But again, Cooks is here, and I'm now one of his fans.
Another thing,why is it ok to trade our third to move back up in the second,but not for a higher position in the first? It would take more than just a third to move back up in the second...unless you would be ok with trading our second and third for a second...

I'm aware that it might take more than just the third to move up. Late in the second round like that you might find a team that's willing to move back a little for maybe a third and 4th or 5th rounder. I'm ok with that. It's the frontline depth I'm interested in. I don't care much about the later rounds, though there have been exceptions. And those exceptions are why I also wouldn't have minded keeping the 3rd rounder and not trading up in the first place. This is based on my belief that WR was not a big enough need to trade up for. There were others. But I would have preferred a corner. I guess we'll see how jean-baptiste does now.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
